CastYeller

This project has become inactive.

This project is inactive and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. The author may have abandoned it, or it may have outlived its usefulness.

Update: I am rewriting CastYeller from scratch. The new version is in beta stage. It lacks some feature yet but it is ready for testing. Please take a look at CastYeller2.

CastYeller (CY) is aimed at replacing spell announcing macros. It comes with a little set of spell and events to announce. It is configurable via the slash command (/cy).

You can select:

which spells to announce (depending on your class),
which events to announce:
- Casting starts (for non-instant spells),
- Casting of instant spells,
- Casting failures,
- Spell misses.
which channels to announce to:
- Emote,
- Say,
- Battleground chat,
- Party chat,
- Raid chat,
- Whisper (for targeted spells),
- Yell,
- Raid warning,
- User-defined chat channel.

Things you have to know

There are some things that you cannot configure but that you should be aware of :

CastYeller is disabled when soloing,
Each spell has its own set of events, channels and conditions. You can only disable some of them, not add new ones.
A lot of announces use the pseudo-channel "broadcast". It is resolved dynamically :
- If you're in a battleground, announces will be send to battleground chat (or dropped if it is disabled),
- If you're in a raid, announces will be send to raid chat (or dropped if it is disabled),
- If you're in a party, announces will be send to party chat (or dropped if it is disabled).
- You can customize this feature with an option.

I tried using it on my Hunter and my Druid (the Druid being my main) and they seem to be broken. No announces are coming through, not even a blank spot for it to be. How would I fix this?

About this: "Each spell has its own set of events, channels and conditions. You can only disable some of them, not add new ones. "

If I want to add some funny announces with a new spell, how can I do?
