This is the digitally remastered, re-re-re-release of the Alamo Shapeshift annouce add-on for World of WarCraft, updated to work properly in WoW 2.1.3, and with additional support for battleground and officer chats, and raid warnings.
The vast majority of the development work done on this add-on was done by it's two previous authors. What follows is what was posted as the description for the 2.0 version of this add-on on Curse:
This is an updated version of the Alamo mod for Druids. I won't claim any real authorship for this great mod - that goes to Valanduil of LightningHoof, I simply updated it for TBC. The blurb below is copied from the original posting of the mod on ui.worldofwar.net.
Alamo teechs u 2 play DURID! And this addon helps you and your friends learn! Alamo (the addon) detects shapeshifts and announces to one of many possible chat targets (whisper, say, yell, party, guild, or raid) a bit of Alamo's wisdom, as it relates to your new form. For example, if you shift into bear form, you might say aloud, 'Tehm whos bare durids, can B 4 tank.'
The chance of the addon actually making an announcement can be set as a percentage, so that, for example, any given shapeshift might have only a 35% chance of causing an announcement. This is an important feature intended to keep the addon's output entertaining instead of becoming spam.
Announcements can also, at any time, be forced for either the current form or a specified form -- even if the addon loaded but is set to be inactive. This makes it possible to send announcements only when the user chooses, or at times when a shapeshift does not occur. For example, in bear form:
/alamo force cat
would cause a cat statement to be issued, despite not being in cat form. Naturally, the chance of a forced announcement happening is always 100%.
Whisper mode is surprisingly robust, and supports multiple targets. For example:
/alamo whisper add PlayerA /alamo whisper add PlayerB
will cause both PlayerA and PlayerB to be whispered when an announcement is made. Whisper targets can also be removed; alternately, the entire whisper target list can be cleared at once.
All forms are supported: caster, (dire) bear, seal, cat, travel, and moonkin.
Type /alamo for a complete command list.
If you're unfamiliar with ALAMOES COMPLEET DURID INSTURCKSHUN then this is likely not the addon for you.
