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.

Posted May 17, 2008Nope, if the other hunter does not have the mod, you will not see any information about his/her misdirect.

Posted Apr 29, 2008Myself and another hunter have been using this mod and we have ended up mding the same tank at the same time and having our md's end up on each other.

Posted Apr 30, 2008Well, that really has nothing to do with the addon, I don't hook or interfere with Blizzard functions beyond reading data from them and showing it in a different format. If you both MD the same tank, even at the same time, one of them should hit the tank, and the other MD should fail, giving the error that that buff is already on your target.

Posted Apr 30, 2008Thanks, I had contacted a Gm about the problem and as always it wasn't very helpful. I didn't think this mod was the reason anyway, but we had just started using it and hadn't run into this type of problem in the past.
Btw, I find that it is very helpful and is fitting in great with my ui.

Posted Apr 19, 2008A nice addon I'd like to keep for gaming... however, i've notice a little problem while misdirecting to another hunter player. Seems both are hunter and both have misdirection as a skill, the message shows that both hunter misdirection to each other and the cooldown bar would turn out wrong as well.
But if misd to players other than hunter, it's works out perfectly!!

Posted Apr 19, 2008Not sure why you're MDing hunters, but it doesn't matter anymore. Fixed it to work, new version will be here soon.

Posted Apr 16, 2008just posting to say thanks again for updating and keeping it going great. i had a few bugs in raid tnight, which i figured were from installing scrolling combat text and a few others mods. i got the newest one here, re loaded and bam it's working perfectly again.
thumbs up.
im glad you're not adding the threat option. anyone using SMD most likely has omen (or should) and that is all that matters. simple is best and im glad youre trying to keep it that way. clicking the bar to announce the cooldown could be handy in some cases but it's rarely urgent enough to the point where you couldnt just type into party "20 seconds", or something if someone asked what the CD was.
ill be keeping an eye on this mod and updating regularly. thanks again

Posted Mar 31, 2008Could a feature be implemented, so that SimpleMD would show how much threat my MD generated for the target. (This would also help tanks a lot too). and it would also be nice to have a macro that would spam the current cooldown into chat when i want it to.

Posted Apr 1, 2008I will not be adding any threat information to SMD. It is too much extra overhead and starts to stray from what I want this addon to be.
Maybe on the macro.

Posted Jan 31, 2008Hi there,
I have been using SimpleMD for some time and it worked perfectly. Now I have a problem with the latest version. It won't broadcast in raid chat. In party chat it's workin fine but in raidchat in won't work. I've tried all the possible broadcast options. Everything is working, sct, rw (only in party) etc. I've also tried to change ouput route to default, chat etc.
I invite a guildmate, convert to raid and then cast misdirect on my pet to test the addon.
Is there anything I forget? Hope someone can help me
Tks in advance.

Raid broadcast will only work if there are more than five people in the raid with you, otherwise it uses party.

Posted Jan 16, 2008Just wanted to let everyone know that I am still maintaining the mod, but I've been side-tracked by another project that I'll be finishing soon. And once that project is released and fairly stable, I plan to rewrite the core part of SimpleMD to make is easier to maintain in the future. This will mean a few changes that drastically alter the communications. (In simple terms, the next version posted here will not talk to the older versions, so all users will need to update.)
Thanks for using my mod! :)

Posted Sep 27, 2007Arry,
I think you were using a different mod before. SimpleMD doesn't make macros at all. You can use macros with the mod, but its not required. Were you using Hunter MisdirectionHelper maybe?

Posted Sep 26, 2007Sorry for the two updates in two days. Minimal testing showed the last version to work fine. However, raiding showed massive errors and other bugs. They have all been correct in the most recent Curse release. Please report any further problems in comments or tickets.
Thanks!

Posted Sep 12, 2007I translated wrong a line for spanish localization, here it is the right one:
["Misdirection fades from <target>"] = "Redirecci\195\179n desparece de <target>",
(The mistake was that desparece doesnt exist, the right term is desaparece, but since wow translators haven´t done right we have to use their term)
