Two things come to mind immediately.
1) Check to make sure you have the addon set to show the faded message (/smd broadcast showfade)
2) The translation for ["Misdirection fades from you."] = "Redirecci\195\179n desparece de ti.", might not be correct, I remember for the DEde translation the combat log line was slightly different from the message.
First of all, thanks for answering so fast, and for showing me the reasons why it didnt work (and not making me feel like a fool for not seeing it, I was so convinced the string was the one I posted ).
You were right, the string was misstranslated, the right one is:
["Misdirection fades from you."] = "Redirecci\195\179n acaba de disiparse."
I seem to be missing an option somewhere, but I am unable to see this mod when logged in on my paladin,
when I am logged in as a hunter I can see the mod just fine.
Is there an option somewhere to allow other classes to get this mod to load?
typing /simplemd or /smd produces the normal "type /help for a listing of a few commands..."
The addon will only load for hunters atm. What I did to use this on my druid is to comment out the lines that prevent the addon to load for non-hunter classes:
Change this line
if (select(2, UnitClass("player"))) ~= "HUNTER" then return end
To this
--if (select(2, UnitClass("player"))) ~= "HUNTER" then return end
in SimpleMD.lua, SMD_Menu.lua and SMD_Timers.lua..
Should be easy to find, the lines are at the beginning of each file.

Those lines will be taken out with the 2.0 release. I'm getting a lot of requests to let other classes see the misdirection stuff. And for the curious, I'm working on rewritting the main file now, which is the bulk of the release. So a few more weeks and it should be in the svn.
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 :)
One thing I would like to see is the same functionality, but for Drums of Battle in addition to Misdirection. We have been running groups with 3-5 leather workers for the past week. After a few uses people forget whose turn it is, forget to pop on their turn etc.
I finished the changes to SimpleMD that will make it work with patch 2.4. This is also the 2.0 release of SimpleMD. The communications component has been rewritten as well as the majority of the core files.
If anyone would like to test it out on the PTR a link will be provided below. Please note that the old version of SimpleMD cannot talk to the new version, and the new version will not work on the live servers.
I've moved my WoW Patch 2.4/SimpleMD-2.0 Development version into the wowace svn in the hopes that other people can help get all the locales up to date for their translations. As it stands now the koKR locale is most up to date, only missing the most recently added translations. Other locales are in various states of neglect.
If you want to help out the dev version is at: branches/SimpleMD/2.4-Dev
Thanks!
(Oh, I do not foresee any new translations at this point. Any further development by me is going to be internal code tweaks and cleanups.)
any way to change the text it broadcasts? the field is editable, but when i click the next field the previous field is reverted back to the original text (through Rock configuration)

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

Would this be possible to add?

Please update SimpleMD, and let me know if the issue persists.
Have you updated to the newest version? Readiness stuff should only broadcast when you actually cast the spell (since it pulls from the combat log).
Yes, using r65848.
