Displays a countdown and a ticking sound when your Beacon of Light or Sacred Shield is about to expire. Other than that, this addon is invisible.

Intended for holy paladins who want a reminder before their short time buffs expire.

• Should work regardless of user localization
• Allows the user to set when the countdown appears
• Has a drag&drop feature to move the text to a desired location on the screen
• The interface is based on my previous addon SealCountdown

PATCH 3.1 NEWS
Due to limited testing time, not all new functions are 100% confirmed. If the addon fails to automatically recognise that you have a talent or glyph that increases buff duration, you can simply write /beacon to force a check (it will work).

How to change settings:
BeaconCountdown has just a few settings that can be changed. This is done via simple slash commands, written in the in-game chat window.

To get a list of available commands, write /beacon

To change the time when the countdown appears (for example to when 13 seconds remain), write /beacon 13
Substitute 13 for whatever number between 0 and 60 you prefer.

To move the countdown text, write /beacon text
Then press left mouse button on the text, move it to where you want it, and release mouse button.

Limitations:
BeaconCountdown output is based only on when you last did cast Beacon of Light and/or Sacred Shield. It does (currently) not keep track on if Beacon of Light/Sacred Shield has somehow been cancelled or if the target has died.

Bug reports, suggestions and other feedback:
If you encounter any bugs or would like some specific functionality added in future versions, please post a ticket.

Since unrelated remarks have been posted as comments and Curse currently has no moderating options for authors of projects, I am disabling the comment feature completely as of 2009-04-05. It saddens me that this is my only option, since most of the comments I got were nice, creative and relevant. I want you to know that I really appreciated them.
