Summary

Small, standalone Modification that adds extra information to the Party/Raid dots and tooltips (compatible with BG Raid groups).
Compatible with WorldMap, BattlefieldMinimap, AlphaMap (including AlphaMap Battleground maps).

Has Multiple viewing modes - just use the provided key binding or Left-Click on the WorldMap PartySpotter button to cycle through them when in a Raid/Battleground and see which mode you find most useful.

Default mode displays player dots as numbered icons showing the Raid Group they belong to, and are also coloured based on the character class of that player.

Rings around player dots will also indicate when players are :
Corpses (Black ring)
Ghosts (Grey ring)
AFK/Inactive (Pink ring)
In Combat (Red ring)

Now integrated with both the Raid Frame, and the Battlefield Score Board
: mouse over players to flash their position on the map.
: mouse over Class buttons to highlight all players of that class on the map.
: Alt-Click on Players to permanently highlight them and track them via the minimap

Individual groups can be highlighted on the map by clicking on that group number in the PartySpotter Map Key (Map Legend).

Chat messages can be prefixed with the number of the Raid Group a player is in, and/or they can be coloured based on the Raid group the player is in if viewing Coloured Raid group dots.

Can also highlight Friends or Ignores or Guild Mates in the Raid. Key binding or WorldMap Button can be used to cycle through the different highlighting modes.

Use a key binding or <Control>-Left-Click on the WorldMap PartySpotter button to show/hide Map Keys.

Can also track the Raid Leader via slash command

USE "/pspot" FOR A STATUS REPORT AND A FULL LIST OF SLASH COMMANDS.

IMPORTANT KEY BINDINGS INTENDED AS THE MAIN / EASIEST WAY TO CHANGE PARTYSPOTTER BEHAVIOUR
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Key binding to highlight your Party members only so you can check where they are
Press again to go back to the viewing mode you were using previously

- Key binding to cycle through the main PartySpotter modes
1.) Show Numbered Raid sub-groups coloured by Character Class
2.) Show Differently Coloured Raid sub-groups
3.) Show Numbered Raid sub-groups
4.) Show Player dots Coloured based on Character Class
5.) Show All Other Raid sub-groups in the same colour
NOTE: Left-Click on the WorldMap PartySpotter Button to cycle through the above viewing modes

- Key binding to cycle through the PartySpotter highlighting functions

2.) Ignores
3.) Guild mates
4.) No Highlighting
NOTE: Right-Click on the WorldMap PartySpotter Button to cycle through the highlighting modes

- Key binding to Show/Hide the Map Keys
NOTE: <Control>-Left-Click on the WorldMap PartySpotter Button to Show/Hide the Map Keys

Slash Commands
--------------

/pspot : Displays the status of PartySpotter, and this list of Commands

/pspot 0 : Disable PartySpotter (i.e. /pspot followed by a zero)

/pspot <1 - 10> : Enable PartySpotter and set the delay between WorldMap Updates in seconds.
Default value at install is 10.
PartySpotter is now mainly event driven, so I'd suggest "/pspot 10" is the best way to enable PartySpotter if previously disabled.
(It is possible to use a decimal point and set this vaue to 0.5, or 3.6 for example)

/pspot showgroups combined : If in a Raid, then player dots will show the Raid Group number they belong to, AND the dots will be coloured based on the character's Class

/pspot showgroups icons : If in a Raid, then people in different sub-groups will be represented by different coloured icons

/pspot showgroups numbers : If in a Raid, then people in different sub-groups will be represented by icons clearly marked with their group number

/pspot showgroups off : If in a Raid, then people in different sub-groups will be represented by the same Orange icon. Your local Party/group members are still highlighted differently as Blue

/pspot showclasses : If in a Raid, then Player dots will be coloured based on their Character Class as per the colours in the Blizzard Raid Frame

/pspot showfriends : to TOGGLE the highlighting of Friends

/pspot showignores : to TOGGLE the highlighting of Ignores

/pspot showguild : to TOGGLE the highlighting of Guild mates

/pspot -l : to TOGGLE the highlighting of your Raid leader (Marked by a Red "1")

/pspot -t <name> : will highlight the specified individual(s), so that you don't have to mouse over lots of icons to find one single person (Marked by a red "X")
Right-Click Menu option when clicking on a Party/Raid Portrait or Chat frame Name to Highlight a player will also do the same thing.
Highlighted Players will be tracked in the Minimap
The slash command has been extended and can accept multiple names separated by a comma and/or spaces)
To remove an individual player's highlighting, simply highlight them again to toggle them off.
To clear the entire list, use the "/pspot -t" slash command with no name parameter.

/pspot -t : leaving the name blank, will cancel the highlighting of any highlighted player(s)

/pspot -c : to TOGGLE coloured BattleGround/Raid messages when showing different coloured map icons

/pspot -n : to TOGGLE Raid Group Numbered Chat Messages

Telic A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 421 Uploads: 17	MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR RELEASE Lots of improvements of existing functionality, plus lots of new extra features. The new feature I use most is the ability to click on player icons on any of the maps to target a player. Plus you can now track an individually highlighted player via a new minimap tracking icon (which can also be clicked to target the player) Plus, someone wanted the ability to show/hide the Keys - Keybinding provided... Plus, lots more... Didn't think it was important enough to have a GUI interface - Key bindings are easiest way to change modes anyway, and there is now an extra option in the Player right click menu to 'Highlight' an individual player on the map and minimap. So, sorry, but I'm gonna spend my time on other projects rather than adding a GUI to this for the time being. Just type "/pspot" and PartySpotter will report the current status of settings as well as list the other slash command options.

Telic A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 421 Uploads: 17	Sorry for not monitoring comments more closely... ;) @JokerGermany I'm considering another release that will have a gui for the options BUT PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T FORGET THE KEY BINDINGS - They are the best, easiest and quickest way to change PartySpotter highlighting modes @svartalfimposter Sorry, no plans for that atm. PartySpotter works with AlphaMap and the latest release of AlphaMap has trimmed 'minimap' style BattleGround maps which the user can re-size. AlphaMap also has extra BattleGround features like symbols to indicate Flag carriers in Warsong with the name of the flag carriers - clicking on the symbols '/target's the player. In Arathi Basin, AlphaMap will report the number of bases required to win to the chat frame (if you have Scrolling Combat Text installed, you will see these messages in the center of the screen). AlphaMap also has a right click menu for BattleGround icons, so that you can report that "Flag Carrier Our Tunnel" in Warsong, or "Zerg Inc Frostwolf Tower" in AV, etc. etc. These messages will be reported to your Raid if in a Raid, or Party if just in a Party, or to the General chat otherwise. (There is an option to send these messages only to your Party if you don't want to send to the entire Raid that you are in) Last edited by Telic : 08-10-2006 at 04:03 AM.

svartalfimposter A Wyrmkin Dreamwalker Forum posts: 49 File comments: 22 Uploads: 0	BFC Map support? I use Battlefield Commander (yes, that old thing!) because the minimap is 1000% better than blizzard's standard one. Is there a chance that partyspotter might be adjusted to cater for this map? I love both mods and will continue as-is regardless Thanks for all your hard work it is appreciated.
