<<size 23px>><<color #265677>> **Raid Watch 2** <</color>><</size>>

Raid Watch is an addon for tracking events during boss fights in both raid and 5-men dungeons. It will keep track of important boss cooldowns, warn for events that requires the users attention and inform about some things that happen around him. It will do this in the form of timer bars, sounds, big warning text accompanied with a screen flash for the most important stuff  and small text messages for less important things, direction arrow and more.\\
Raid Watch also have some functionality that is useful outside of boss fights, such as in game eqDKP display.

I have decided to disable the comments on curse.com  since they are hard to keep track of, so instead:\\

=== <<color #265677>> Changelog <</color>>
==== v1.28
* Warnings, Message and timers enabled state is now set based on raid role (tank, healer, melee, caster) instead of just on and off. So if you have Soul Reaper enabled while tanking, but don't want to see it if you are melee then this solves that without having to change profiles or modify settings all the time.
* eqDKP plugin now fully functional for guilds that use eqDKP as their dkp listing. See How To pages on how to get the data in game.

=== <<color #265677>> Localization <</color>>
Raid Watch 2 is fully or partially translated to most languages, but could use some more people to help with the translation as they are important to make the mods to work for all languages. At any point where boss emotes or yells are used as triggers it will or may not work on other clients. But things that only rely on combat log events will still work.\\\\
If you want to contribute to the localization simply go to the [[http://www.wowace.com/addons/rw2/localization/| Localization]] page or click the localization tab up top and then on your language and start translating. It is open for anyone as long as you have an account here.
