DIRTY TRICKS
================================================================================

An automatic macro-based redirect addon for World of Warcraft. Dynamically 
creates and updates macros for Tricks of the Trade (Rogue) and Misdirection 
(Hunter) that automatically target the current group's tank.

================================================================================
FEATURES
================================================================================

✓ Automatically detects tanks in raid or party
✓ Works with multiple tanks (adds conditional fallbacks)
✓ Works solo with hunter pets
✓ Updates in real-time as group composition changes
✓ Colored chat messages with class colors for tank names
✓ Announces tank selection when joining groups
✓ No secure frame restrictions—pure macro based
✓ Modern WoW API (compatible with current patches)
✓ ElvUI compatible dark theme for settings dialog

================================================================================
HOW IT WORKS
================================================================================

The addon creates two global macros:
  - Dirty Tricks of the Trade — Automatically targets the tank in raid/party
  - Dirty Misdirection — Automatically targets the tank in raid/party

These macros are dynamically updated whenever group composition changes, so 
they always redirect to the appropriate tank (raid3, raid4, party1, pet, etc.)

================================================================================
USAGE
================================================================================

1. Load in WoW: Enable the addon in your add-ons list

2. Open settings: Type /dirtytricks to toggle the settings popup or click on the minimap button. 

3. Configure:
   - Toggle the addon on/off
   - Enter a preferred tank name (optional) or leave blank for auto-detection
   - Click OK to save

4. Find the macros: Open your macro list (Macros button in Game Menu)

5. Drag to action bar: Find "Dirty Tricks of the Trade" or 
   "Dirty Misdirection" and drag to your action bar

6. Use like normal: Click the macro or bind it to a key—it will always 
   redirect to your target
