This addon makes "You are not in a raid" spam messages when used in a BG such as AB where we are in a raid group but do not have access to a raid channel.

This addon is Great! Best one so far.
There is only one thing that is irritating: If you change the "Message" in any Option, your changed text is reset to the original.

Can you make the addon remember the text if you change it?
Thanks!

I don't have an active account so I can't test it myself but if you report any errors you get I can try to fix them.

Hi,
I was just wondering if there is any development for this addon to come with an on-screen timer for polymorph? Would be very helpful.

I have the same problem and unfortunately have had it for the last 2 or 3 updates. When checking the menu I can choose a message for counterspell and slow, but nothing at all on portals and polymorphs :(

Hopefully this is fixed in 1.2.2 which should show up soon, if it doesn't though you should be able to fix it by resettng your saved variables by going to
World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\ACCOUNTNAME\SavedVariables
and deleting MageAnnounce.lua

Not working for me unfortunately, I gave it a try to replace my beloved (but now dead) BattleCry, but it throws this error message every time I cast a Slow/Polymorph/Portal:

MageAnnounce-1.1\MageAnnounce.lua:581: bad argument #1 to 'gsub' (string expected, got table)
MageAnnounce-1.1\MageAnnounce.lua:581: in function `tokenreplace'
MageAnnounce-1.1\MageAnnounce.lua:468: in function `?'
CallbackHandler-1.0\CallbackHandler-1.0.lua:146: in function <...ber\libs\CallbackHandler-1.0\CallbackHandler-1.0.lua:146>
<string>:"safecall Dispatcher[5]":4: in function <[string "safecall Dispatcher[5]"]:4>

Is this a conflict with another AddOn?

I'd like to request a feature if possible. For a long... long... long time now I've been limping along with ITS'polyquip (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info6905-ItsPolyquip.html) which is just a flavor addon that selects a random quip on a polymorph cast. If MageAnnounce randomly picked a message from an array of available messages, I'd be in hog heaven.

Added for 1.2, each line in the messages box will count as a seperate message.

I modified MageAnnounce so that it takes an extra option in the general options tab to take in the number of messages it would spam out. Hope it would help out someone that have similar concerns.

Hello Jomar, I love your addon and I use it on my mage extensively. I'd like to see this Addon really shine in arenas, therefore I think the following improvements would make it even better :)

1. focus casting is not that smart yet, I use a modifier focus casting sheep macro, when I use my modifier key, the announcer simply says i'm sheeping <no target>. I know this is probably hard to do, but could it be done in conjunction with a special macro? >_<
2. anti-spam is probably the designing idea around this announcement addon, but I would like to have an option to put more than one message at once so it gets my teammate's attention in arenas.

Thanks a lot!
