Curse

The addons primary function is/was to provide a way for raid leaders or party leaders to get important timers on either their own crowd controls or whoever has crowd controlled in the raid.  I personally use this for tanking more than anything then I can see what mob is about to come out of its cc in raids etc. and make my way to pick it up.

Re: adding spells, spell ids can be obtained easily using wowhead, simply search the spell then in the address bar after the equals (=) there will be shown a number, that number is the spell id.  For example, if we wanted to look for Polymorph Turkey on wowhead it would bring us to the page with the following address in the address bar:

http://www.wowhead.com/spell=61780

61780 is the spell id, hope this helps - happy coding   =)

I'm looking for translators for the announcements in Afterlife Crowd Control; the announcements are stored in the Local.lua file of the addon but you can post your version here and credit will be given in the addon.

The format looks like this (example is the enUS client version):

-- group titles

PRIMARY_GROUP_TITLE = "Crowd Controls";
DIMINSH_RETURNS_TITLE = "Diminish Returns";

-- Announces.
AFTERLIFE_APPLIED_SPELL = "[%s] has been applied to [%s%s]."; -- [Shackle Undead] has been appled to [Skeletal Warrior].
AFTERLIFE_RENEWED_SPELL = "[%s] has been renewed on [%s%s]."; -- [Shackle Undead] has been renewed on [Skeletal Warrior].
AFTERLIFE_PARTY_APPLIED_SPELL = "[%s] has applied [%s] to [%s%s]"; -- [Afterlife] has applied [Shackle Undead] to [Skeletal Warrior].
AFTERLIFE_PARTY_RENEWED_SPELL = "[%s] has renewed [%s] on [%s%s]"; -- [Afterlife] has renewed [Shackle Undead] on [Skeletal Warrior].
AFTERLIFE_BREAK_NORMAL = "[%s] has broken on [%s%s]."; -- [Polymorph] has broken on [Afterlife].
AFTERLIFE_BREAK_PLAYER = "[%s] was broken on [%s%s] by %s's %s."; -- [Polymorph was broken on [Afterlife] by Shedney.
AFTERLIFE_SECONDS_TXT1 = "[%s%s] breaks free in %d seconds."; -- [Afterlife] breaks free in 10 seconds.
AFTERLIFE_SECONDS_TXT2 = "%s's [%s] breaks free in %d seconds."; -- Silverblosse's [Skeletal Warrior] breaks free in 10 seconds.
AFTERLIFE_SPELL_MISSED1 = "[%s] is %s to [%s]."; -- [Afterlife] is IMMUNE to [Polymorph].
AFTERLIFE_SPELL_MISSED2 = "[%s] has %s my [%s]."; -- [Afterlife] has RESISTED my [Polymorph].
AFTERLIFE_SPELL_INTERRUPTED = "[%s] was interrupted by %s's [%s]."; -- [Polymorph] was interrupted by Quality's [Rebuke].

-- Auto Reputation bar.
AFTERLIFE_REPUTATION_PARSE_TXT = "Reputation with (.+) increased by (%d+).";
AFTERLIFE_AUTOREPBAR = "|cff00e0ffAfterlife : |cffffffffReputation bar changed to ";

The text inside the " " is what needs translating leaving the %s in the same position. text after the -- are comments showing how the formatting is presented in game.

Please state the game version, i.e. frFR, deDE, koKR, zhCN, zhTW, ruRU, esES or esMX. 

You might want to check out the Local.lua file rather than trying to read what ive put above since curse isnt formatting it too well.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Just to extend on your post, the modification in a previous post would adjust the base duration of the freeze trap and everyone elses would be affected so not really ideal in raids.

I'll look at implimenting a system where it reads your talents and shows your correct duration. However, if other hunters are in your raid it would need to read its base value for theirs since its not possible to detect what your raid members talents are set to.

I'll have a think about this one and see what I can do.  :)

When I originally wrote this addon in 2008 it was never intended to spam others crowd controls in your party; in my absence changes were made to the addon which incorrectly spammed others which got quite hectic when in a 25 man raid and many were using it - previously, the only announcements for other raid members was the 15 second warnings.

However, I'm guessing by now people have gotten used to that bug so I will add an option so that you can turn on/off this support.

I had already planned to remove the 15 second announcement and just have the 10 and 5; 10 seconds I feel is more than enough to prompt players to renew the crowd control.  However, you suggestion would work out better really then people have the option of turning on/off all three.

This could be added but if your confident enough you can modify those messages in the local.lua using notepad.  However, its important you leave the correct number of %s entries so that the messages are parsed correctly.

For example:

PRIMARY_GROUP_TITLE = "Crowd Controls";
DIMINSH_RETURNS_TITLE = "Diminish Returns";
AFTERLIFE_APPLIED_SPELL = "[%s] has been applied to [%s%s].";
AFTERLIFE_BREAK_NORMAL = "[%s] has broken on [%s%s].";
AFTERLIFE_BREAK_PLAYER = "[%s] was broken on [%s%s] by %s's %s.";
AFTERLIFE_SECONDS_TXT1 = "[%s%s] breaks free in %d seconds.";
AFTERLIFE_SECONDS_TXT2 = "%s's [%s] breaks free in %d seconds.";
AFTERLIFE_SPELL_MISSED1 = "[%s] is %s to [%s].";
AFTERLIFE_SPELL_MISSED2 = "[%s] has %s my [%s].";
AFTERLIFE_SPELL_INTERRUPTED = "[%s] was interrupted by %s's [%s].";
AFTERLIFE_REPUTATION_PARSE_TXT = "Reputation with (.+) increased by (%d+).";
AFTERLIFE_AUTOREPBAR = "|cff00e0ffAfterlife : |cffffffffReputation bar changed to ";

Taking the AFTERLIFE_APPLIED_SPELL as an example the above would show something like:

[Shackle Undead] has been applied to <raid Icon>[Skeletal Warrior].

But we could change the formatting to:

AFTERLIFE_APPLIED_SPELL = "%s applied to %s%s.";

which would now show:

Shackle Undead applied to <raid icon>Skeletal Warrior.

Right  =)

Addon is working under 4.3 now.  However, the real test is by you guys so please let me know if you find any issues and i'll take a look.

Kindest Regards,  Michael.

At this moment in time I'm busy working on Afterlife and correcting its issues with the latest patch, and an update should be released tonight.

Hope this puts your mind at rest  =)
