WhoDat

WhoDat - A guild tool which facilitates recognition of alternate characters

Description
After The Burning Crusade went live, our guild ballooned up with additional alts as well as many returning players. Keeping track of who was who quickly became a problem. A lot of folks started to feel like we were no longer the tight guild we once were. Of course, a lot of this was simply perception, so I came up with the idea of putting together a tool which would answer the question "Who's That?"

What It Does
WhoDat hooks your chat windows and watches for communication and online/offline events. When it finds an event it should process (fully configurable), if the owner of the event is an alternate character, it adds that info. Nothing is changed for the player running WhoDat, nor for a "main" character.

Please see the manual page I keep up to date at:

1.5.2 Very Minor Maintenance Release
- Added to and Corrected the German translation (credit: Ypselon from WoWInterface)
- Fixed the German translation so it is actually loaded by default if you're locale is deDE.

1.5.1 Maintenance Release
- Fixed a crash bug with the 3.1 WotLK Patch.

New in 1.5
- Compatibility with WotLK API changes
- Re-vamped startup procedure to accomodate chicken vs. egg problems... which were causing some folks to freeze up on loading.
- Various other bug fixes
- /whodat -errors will show you any names WhoDat finds from the note field which do not exist in your guild. A handy way to find errors as well as see anyone who has left some alts in your guild.

New in 1.4
- Updated German Translation
- Compatibility with AuldLangSyne
- A few more bug fixes
- You can now set the color for your "main" toon
See the above URLs for more information!

If you encounter errors or incomaptibilities with other addons, please post a comment on this page. Be as specific as you can and I'll see what I can do to remedy the situation. And, of course, I'm always open to suggestions for new functionality!

So a friend of mine pointed out that MaidenFan was actually correct. There is an AddOn written by Corak (unreleased except to his guild as far as I can tell) on 6/24/06 also called WhoDat. The concept is almost identical in terms of what is provided. However, the source code is completely different. I got the name WhoDat from a guildie who liked to try to be funny and whenever someone logged in he didn't recognize he inevitably said "WhoDat?".

I will add something of this sort to my history textfile even though there is truly nothing underhanded going on here.

Since I have no idea what the Saints is, I'll have to guess... maybe?

If you can provide me with a link to what you're referring to, I'll look into it.

I don't know of another way to handle it Meriana. This addon pretty much requires you to either have publicly editable fields or get your officers to maintain it (which is what most guilds who are using this do).

Thanks! There's more on the way along with some improvements to WhoDat, I'm working on another addon which displays various event info (modeled after the EQ2 guild system, which I've always been a big fan of).

It most certainly is written originally by me and is completely my code. You are more than welcome to list what the other Addon's name is and compare it, I'm quite confident you are mistaken.

The concept of an addon that identifies alts is not a new thing, but I am not aware of any addons which do it like this nor provide the GUI interface mine does.

Nice mod. I've got a couple of questions I'd like to ask though, would you mind PMing me or mailing me (fin@instinct.org). I'd PM you, but you specified that you don't want to receive emails apparently.

cheers,

Sorry, just paranoid about getting emails out there. As indicated in the notes above, you can contact me at 'frella at spowers dot net'. I've also sent you an email.

There is indeed currently a problem with Cosmos (login/logout messages work, but nothing else) which I will be looking at resolving soon. There's also a popup error from time to time which I have corrected. I believe it has to do with someone from your friends list generating an event. At any rate, it's fixed in my current version which I'll push this weekend... hopefully after a fix for Cosmos.
