SimpleDrumAnnounce
SimpleDrumAnnounce is a lightweight WoW addon that announces in party when you use drums and warns again 2 seconds before the drum buff expires.
The purpose of this is to keep up Drum rotations with ease.
Features:
-Works always, regardless how you activate your drums (from bags, from a shortcut on your UI, from a consumables mod).
-Warns 2 seconds before the buff expires so the next person in the rotation gets ready.
-Does not spam if you mash your drums button in contrast to a macro button.
-Does not waste a macro slot.
-No config, just install and forget it's there. No need for every leatherworker in your raid to be told how to make a macro.
-Clear visible markings for when you use drums (battle = orange circle, war = yellow star, restoration = green triangle, speed = pink diamond) and when Drums of Battle are about to expire (skull icon).
-Very lightweight/small addon.
Updates:
v1.5 Updated to work with WoW 3.x. WotLK drums added (dry coded).
v1.23 French localization.
v1.22 Spanish localization.
v1.21 Chinese localization.
v1.2 German and Korean localization.
v1.1 now supports: Drums of Battle, War, Restoration, Speed. Timeout warning only for Drums of Battle for the time being.
Pending:
Localization for the new drums =)
I don't know how common this is, but our healer group runs a drums of restoration rotation on fights like brutallus and m'uru. Is it possible to get a drums out, next person message for resto drums? Or perhaps you could just post what we'd need to add to the lua? Thanks!
Can you make it so it wont announce twice for a single drum? it's confusing, cause then everyone thinks i used 2 drums at once :S
I was in raid =>

"It doesn't work" really doesn't help me fixing a problem, if there is one :S
Can you tell me if you get any errors? Are you in a party/raid when you test this? If the translation you've supplied is correct, it should work.
still dont work
Dont work anyway ?
Thanks XanaX, added in version 1.23.
"{crâne} Tambours de bataille se terminent dans 2 secondes, au suivant {crâne}" =
"Drums of Battle" = Tambours de bataille
"{cercle} Tambours de bataille terminés {cercle}" = ?
"Drums of Speed" = Tambours de vitesse
"{losange} Tambours de vitesse terminés {losange}" = ?
"Drums of War" = Tambours de guerre
"{étoile} Tambours de guerre terminés {étoile}" = ?
"Drums of Restoration" = Tambours de restauration
"{triangle} Tambours de restauration terminés {triangle}" = ?
good luck
@XanaX: Post a French translation here and I'll gladly add it. I need the following text translated into French:
"{Skull} Drums of Battle out in 2, next person get ready! {Skull}" = ?
"Drums of Battle" = ?
"{circle} Drums of Battle used {circle}" = ?
"Drums of Speed" = ?
"{diamond} Drums of Speed used {diamond}" = ?
"Drums of War" = ?
"{star} Drums of War used {star}" = ?
"Drums of Restoration" = ?
"{triangle} Drums of Restoration used {triangle}" = ?
Also looking for Italian translator.

*Added Chinese localizations, thanks Xio@WindRose
* Added German localization (thanks Fyrgloth (Blackrock-EU), bashti (WoWint) and Birkenstock (wowace)).
* Added Korean localization (thanks cronan (wowace)).
A German version would very nice.
Tell me if i can help with the german localization.
Herer are the german names for the drums:
Drums of Battle ---> "Trommeln der Schlacht"
Drums of War ---> "Trommeln des Krieges"
Drums of Restoration ---> "Trommeln der Wiederherstellung"
Drums of Speed ---> "Trommeln der Geschwindigkeit"
Fyrgloth (EU) Blackrock
Merebo:
At the moment yes, it only announces Drums of Battle for the purpose of maintaining a rotation, but not for Drums of War since I don't believe anyone actually runs rotations for that.
I could add additional announcements for when other Drums are used if people think that would be helpful, though I was generally trying to keep down any unnecessary party chat spam that would just grab attention away from the Drums of Battle rotation. Possibly if added, they will have different icons.
There will probably be either a slash command and/or hooking into the new Blizzard Addon UI to toggle these functions on/off if I add them.
This only work on Drums of Battle? I use Drums of War on trash so was wondering.
Sounds nice! Will try this out.
