SimpleMD
SimpleMD is a small addon used to broadcast information about your threat redirection spells to your raid or party. SimpleMD now tracks both Misdirection and Tricks of the Trade
Slash Commands
/simplemd
or /smd
Features
- Automatic broadcasting on successful Misdirection/Tricks cast, even from within macros
- Multiple display zones including, the chat frame, to a custom channel, raid warning, raid and party chat, and even to Scrolling Combat Text addons
- Warnings include: MD/Tricks cast, MD/Tricks fading, and cooldown information
- Optional cooldown bars for a visual representation of everyone's MD/Tricks cooldown
- Bars will switch to a 4 or 6 second duration when you are actually transferring threat (for MD and Tricks respectively)
- Improved combat log handling means that SimpleMD is able to track all threat redirection effect casts and fades from any hunter or rogue, even if they don't have SimpleMD
- The addon only sends messages for cooldown alerts
- CD Bars and Cast/Fade/CD warnings are only displayed if you are in a party or raid
Localization
Although the addon will detect and display message without any translations, everything will be in English. Currently nothing is fully translated. If you would like to help translate this addon please visit the WoWAce page and use the Localization Tool. Also, if you update the translations, please file a ticket about it so I can make an updated release.
Reporting Bugs/Suggestions
Please use the ticket system to submit bug reports. It makes my life much easier and will get problems fixed quicker since I get an email when a ticket is submitted, but I get nothing for comments on Curse. If you need to discuss something and would rather not use a ticket you can also use the forum thread on the WoWAce forums.
You could potentially change it by changing the translation in the locale file for your client's locale.
Under the Locales folder open it in a text editor and find the line that has
L["%s cast Misdirection on %s"] =
change the other side of the equals sign to whatever you want to say, however you must include %s twice or you will get errors, the first %s will be replaced by the hunter's name and the second %s will be the target's name.
For example, in the enUS.lua file, line 8 is
L["%s cast Misdirection on %s"] = true
if you change that to
L["%s cast Misdirection on %s"] = "%s MD'd %s"
That would work fine in the game and would display the new message.
Not exactly like SMD, but the same principle.

Greatdanes: I can't reproduce your problem. I changed my setup from multiple channels to only using a custom channel and SMD only printed into the custom channel. Try deleting your saved variables and double check your broadcast settings.
How do U get it to stop in reporting in all channels even it's set only to one?
Sorry about that bug, fixed it up and packaged a new release.
This doesnt seeming to be reporting to custom channel or any other channel for that matter as it used to.

These are bleeding edge an sometimes untested. If you desperately need an updated version for tomorrow's patch before I can post a tested release, there is your source.

So I'm working on a rewrite of some of the behind the scenes code right now, and as such I was wondering if my users had any feature requests for me. Extra announce options maybe? "Click to announce" on the CD bars? (For that I'm thinking that if you right click a bar it will announce to raid/custom channel the hunter and their current CD)
Anything at all you guys want to see, just make a post here or at the wowace thread. Thanks!
Quick question on how it it supposed to work. If I am in a raid and there is a hunter in another group, when he misdirects (but does not have SimpleMD), is my SimpleMD supposed to pick it up and start displaying a cooldown bar for him?
