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.
