Yell Resurrection

Never let a corpse wonder whether help is coming.

Yell Resurrection gives resurrection classes a small, movable button. Target a dead player, click it, and the addon announces the resurrection in the chat channel of your choice — so the player knows to stop releasing and wait — and casts your resurrection spell on them in the same click.

The button only appears if you actually have a resurrection spell in your spellbook, so it stays out of the way on characters that cannot use it.

The cast always comes from your own click: Blizzard does not allow addons to cast on their own, so nothing happens unless you press the button yourself. Turn the cast off in the options if you only want the callout.

Features

• Automatic spell detection. Priest Resurrection, Paladin Redemption, Shaman Ancestral Spirit and Druid Rebirth — every rank, every client locale. Nothing to configure.

• Announce and cast in one click. The click casts your highest known rank on the target and sends the callout at the same time. Casting can be turned off if you would rather only announce.

• Movable button. Drag it anywhere, lock it in place, scale it from 0.5x to 2x, or hide it entirely and use the slash commands instead.

• Pick your channel. Say, Yell, Party, Raid or Whisper to a named character. Party and Raid quietly fall back to Say when you are not grouped, so the callout never disappears into nowhere.

• Custom message with substitutions:

  • %t — your target's name
  • %s — the resurrection spell's name
  • %n — your own name

  The default is I resurrect %t with %s!

• Sanity checks before it speaks. No target, a non-player target or a target who is alive gets a quiet local message instead of a chat spam.

• Options panel under Interface → AddOns → Yell Resurrection, plus slash commands for everything.

Slash commands

/yellres works as an alias for /yr.

Installation

Extract the zip so that the folder lands here:

<WoW>/_anniversary_/Interface/AddOns/YellResurrection

The folder must be named exactly YellResurrection, or the client will ignore the addon.

Compatibility

Built for The Burning Crusade Classic / Anniversary realms (interface 20506, client 2.5.6). Not for retail.
