flagRSP WotLK Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

flagRSP WotLK is an add-on that allows you to set a title, first name, and last name as well as setting a character status and a roleplaying flag. Other users of this add-on or a compatible one (flagRSP2, ImmersionRP, or MyRolePlay) will be able to see these flags and you will be able to see theirs. This is mainly useful for RP servers, but there's nothing preventing you from using this on servers of other types. Feel free to report any bugs or request features here.

flagRSP WotLK (formerly known as flagRSP BC) is the original flagRSP add-on updated and enhanced for the World of Warcraft 3.0 patch. This continued version bases on the work done by Flokru and Adriathys. Since both authors have abandoned the project I picked up the code and fixed some open bugs.

If you do use this add-on, do not use it with flagRSP2, ImmersionRP, or MyRolePlay as they will conflict. Please note that flagRSP WotLK will make changes to your tooltips. This may conflict with other addons that manipulate the tooltip. If this occurs, you can turn tooltip alteration off and won't run into any trouble.

=======================================================
flagRSP WotLK is fully translated to English and German language. Translations for other languages are wanted, so if you like, feel free to send me your own. A French localization which covers about 90 percent is included.

Change Log - flagRSP WotLK

flagRSP WotLK 1.0.9 Changes
- Infobox is now movable even if "AlwaysShowInfoBox" is set.
- /rsp owntooltip works again.
- New slash command for changing the first name: /rsp firstname
- Fixed level coloring.
- Fixed display of alternative level descriptions. This caused the tooltip to be empty after patch 3.2.
- Ever wondered why the tooltip switches back to default tooltip rendering from time to time on some characters? A new hook is added to prevent this.
- Updated TOC for WoW 3.2.0

flagRSP WotLK 1.0.8 Changes
- Updated TOC for WoW 3.1.0

flagRSP WotLK 1.0.7 Changes
- Fixed an issue with drop down lists due to changes in WoW API. The friend state of entries in your friend list could not be changed as of WoW 3.0.8
- Friends and enemies on your friend list are colored green and red again. Guild entries are colored slightly lighter than character entries.
- The title of a character is now displayed colored in the info box.
- Removed some "Did you know?" hints that were not applicable anymore.
- Reimplemented import and export of flagRSP's friendlist from/to WoW's friendlist. (/fl import or /fl export)
- Added a new slash command for resetting the position of the info box: /rsp resetinfobox

flagRSP WotLK 1.0.6 Changes
Typhix: Set the default state for the minimap button to on.
Typhix: Fixed a bug that prevented showing prenames of yourself and known persons in the tooltip if the option hiding names was activated.

flagRSP WotLK 1.0.5 Changes
Typhix: Fixed a bug that could crop up while logging into the game.

flagRSP WotLK 1.0.4 Changes
Typhix: Fixed two minor bugs that could occur while reading tooltips.
Typhix: Character titles are now displayed in yellow color. The friendlist shows the character names now in a slight different color.
Typhix: Removed flagRSPloader from package. flagRSP WotLK now is no load-on-demand addon anymore.

flagRSP WotLK 1.0.3 Changes
Typhix: Fixed a bug that prevented vertical scrolling in flagRSP's friendlist.

flagRSP WotLK 1.0.2 Changes
Typhix: After a couple of hours of testing on PTR an error occured while determining the owner of a pet/minion. I don't know exactly what triggered this and was not able to reproduce it a second time. Nevertheless I added an error handling routine for this case. If the owner of a pet/minion cannot be determined, flagRSP now will simply omit the corresponding tooltip line.

flagRSP WotLK 1.0.1 Changes
Typhix: Removed unused font from package.
Typhix: Disabled debug mode.
Typhix: flagRSP is a load-on-demand addon again. Version 1.0.0 was only loaded on demand when flagRSPLoader was enabled.

flagRSP WotLK 1.0.0 Changes
Typhix: Blizzard changed numerous native functions with the upcoming WoW 3.0 patch. Several fixes done to keep flagRSP working with Wrath of the Lich King expansion.
Typhix: Removed filter button from friendlist as it had no implemented function yet. (Nevertheless, filtering would be a nice feature. I'll realize this later.)
Typhix: Changed addon name to "flagRSP WotLK".
Typhix: Version number miraculously jumped to 1.0.0. It was time I think.
Typhix: Updated TOC for WoW 3.0.
Typhix: Declared a better dependency to flagRSP loader
Typhix: Tidied up the zip package. There were a whole lot of useless files and folders in it.

flagRSP BC 0.6.2 Changes
- Updated TOC and version number after intensive testing.
- Updated localization.

flagRSP BC 0.6.1 Changes
Bug Fixes
- FlagRSP will not toggle between afk and non-afk anymore.

I can still see my own and other people's descriptions, so at least part of the addon still works for me.

I was trying to find out a bit more information as to the workings of this API ('cause I'm simply not an addon author) and I saw that the API was indeed discussed on MRP's forum. Here is the post that caught my eye, written by Elandru Moonshyne.

Currently, text can be sent through: "PARTY", "RAID", "GUILD", "BATTLEGROUND". As of 2.1, "WHISPER". (WoWWiki)

I'm not sure if there is any way to cap the frequency of data sent, in order to prevent a player from getting spammed and have (insert bad thing here) happen.

I will say that there may still be another method of data communication, as author OrionShock did start a roleplay addon project (yet has stopped development). From reading the Communications.lua file, I see the following comment:

Quote:

--Not so Basic ChatChannel Comms, this is going to break i know it ... just wait for it... // Based on AceComms-3.0 & Adapted to use ChatChannels instead.

Unfortunately, the copy I have errors out right upon login and is as such non-functional. Therefore, I have been unable to see from an end-user standpoint on how this communication method works (if anything is visible.) If you read the above quote and can tell by it that the communication method is a viable alternative to both SendAddonMessage and XtensionXtooltip2 - please say so! I'd be more than happy ask for an OK from OrionShock for this code to be used either as an example or to be continued and released (high hopes, yes?) I would love to find a solution as many players have voiced concerns about descriptions not updating at all, too slow (due to throttle) etc.

Although I was (and still am) keen about contributing user feedback, I find myself at an impasse regarding this issue. It seems that this issue needs to be either tested through implementation or put to an end. I'd be more than happy to test changes and provide feedback, but that is all I can do.

So depending on responses (if any), I'll be turning my attention to ideas for a roleplay addon that will never come into existence. I sincerely wish the best to you roleplay addon authors, as you do a great favor to the average roleplayer.

I am not sure if MRP, IRP and flagRSP2 are even aware that SendAddonMessage has been implemented, nor have I put this suggestion to them.

Unfortunately, I do not understand how SendAddonMessage works or how efficient it would handle multiple addons using it. I presume it would be efficient, or else why would it be added in? However, I would be happy to pose the suggestion of SendAddonMessage to the authors of those addons. There is one other method of communication that was being explored by OrionShock of wowace.com. However, that roleplay addon project was ended and though I can browse through code, I am not sure what I'd be looking for. However, it stands that there are (hopefully) more efficient alternatives to a simple chat channel babbling away endlessly.

5) Thanks. Again, if I knew more about coding, I would be more specific.

A general question: Do roleplay addon authors have any sort of unified relation? "All for one, and one for all!" or are there separate paths that never cross? I have noticed, for example, that many authors on wowace.com will work together to help each other, but I have never seen the same for the main roleplay addons. I hope I am wrong.

Moonstone A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Thank you! Thank goodness flagRSP is finally being continued!!! I've used flagRSP BC for a long time. Out of all the rp mods out there, it's the only one I've found with both a friendlist and tooltips that don't conflict with my other mods. But the afk detection spamming and filling up the buffer in my chatlog has tempted me on more than one occasion to deactivate it. I'm overjoyed to see that this has been fixed, plus I'm excited about what the future of this mod will hold. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Sec A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 91 Uploads: 0	You're most welcome! I'm so ecstatic that someone is listening. 1) Thanks! This will save a bit of tooltip space (length and width). 2) Do you happen to turn your interface upside down? I do, but have never really met another roleplayer who has UI customization as a high priority. 3) I tried renaming my own font framd.ttf but never noticed a change. I'll delete those, since there is no use. The current font/size is great for people with larger screens or those who like big fonts for readability. However, when a person's description gets very long (half a screen-length or more), it would be nice to have an option to change the font size and face to help compact. Since the current font face is crisp and easy to read, I would not want to suggest a flat-out replacement. Personally, I am using a pixel font for just about every UI element that I can. For me, this font works great, but it would not be for everyone. I am sure that most users would stick with the current font. Perhaps a starting alternative would be to comment out a line at the top of the applicable file where a user can provide their own font? I was able to test out TipTop with flagRSP2 and provide Seerah input on how those two get along. Since trying flagRSP with TipTop, I have noticed that any issues that occur with flagRSP and TipTop are the same as flagRSP2 and TipTop. I do not know if there is a standard protocol for tooltips, unfortunately. 4) I really wish that MRP, IRP and flagRSP2 would take a look at how their communication method could be improved. I would hope that with the coming of 3.0/WotLK, all RP addon authors would re-assess their addons to further strengthen and improve their projects. I am not sure if MRP, IRP and flagRSP2 are even aware that SendAddonMessage has been implemented, nor have I put this suggestion to them.

Typhix A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 25 Uploads: 2	Sec, thank you for your feedback. 1) Should be possible without too much effort. I'll put this on the todo list. 2) Free-floating minimap button: Good thing for people who turn their interface upside down. It's on the todo list as well. 3) framd.ttf is currently not in use. There were earlier versions (>2 years ago) that implemented that font. I could get rid of it. Changing the font would be possible. But what fonts would you like to have? I don't see high priority here. Working with other tooltip handlers is a difficult topic. Since both flagrsp and other tooltip addons try manipulate the tooltip, one will fail. Is there some kind of established standard how tooltip information should be stored so other addons are able to use them? I will have a look at TipTop. 4) The problem here is that xtensionxtooltip2 is widely used among the flag addons. A move to the addon channel (via SendAddonMessage) would only make sense if all the other addons (Immersion RP, flagRSP 2, MyRolePlay) move as well. Perhaps flagrsp will serve both channels in future and if other authors follow we could shut down xtensionxtooltip2. But this will take time. 5) Hm, I will have a look at wowace's addon loader and how it determines what addons it should load. Last edited by Typhix : 09-28-2008 at 01:41 PM.

Sec A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 91 Uploads: 0	I've been trying out flagRSP and wanted to provide some user input. Please pardon the post length; I've had a lot of ideas from using this and similar addons. 1) For tooltip, is it possible to include an option to toggle whether or not roleplay style and status is shown? 2) Can there be a free-floating minimap button option so that the button can be better positioned by the user when their minimap takes a custom shape (such as square)? 3) Is it possible for the tooltip font to be changed (font face and size)? I notice there is a framd.ttf font included, but could not figure out what it is used for. Alternatively, is it possible for tooltip addons (example, TipTop) to format flagRSP's tooltip? 4) For future plans, will flagRSP move away from xtensionxtooltip2 method of communication? I ask this because SendAddonMessage has been added in API. I am not sure if it would be able to suit flagRSP's needs, however I am using one addon already (Tongues on curse.com) that uses SendAddonMessage. Tongues will move away from xtensionxtooltip2 completely if Lore is not updated for WotLK. I am hoping that more roleplay addons will follow suit, if they are capable of doing so. 5) I am not sure if it has been mentioned previously, but if flagRSP and Addon Loader (wowace.com) are enabled, flagRSP does not load upon login. If flagRSP and flagRSPLoader are both enabled, flagRSP does load. I have not tested flagRSP + other addon loaders. This is all I can think of for now. Thank you for keeping this addon going and making an effort to improve flagRSP.

Goldschopf A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Der Fehler steckt im Detail. Der Download hier ist unvollständig. Es fehlt z.B. der FlagRSP Loader. Die Version hier ist also nur ein "Patch", es sei denn der gute Typhix packt es mit dem Rest zusammen. Ansonsten einfach das normale FlagRSP BC laden, und mit der Version hier überschreiben. Klappt einwandfrei! PS: Nochmal danke an Typhix

Namica A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 61 Uploads: 0	Hi Typhix, danke für die schnelle Antwort und deine Mühen. Nein - ich sehe weder den Begrüßungstext (/rsp hat keinerlei Wirkung, außer dem üblichen "Blizzard-Hilfetext" in gelb), der Minimap-Button ist auch nicht da und lässt sich auch nicht überreden, aufzutauchen. Ich möchte dir allerdings auch keine Umstände machen... hätte dieses tolle Addon nur sehr gerne benutzt. Grüße, Namica

Typhix A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 25 Uploads: 2	Hallo Namica, siehst du denn den Begrüßungstext von flagRSP? Wenn du /rsp ? eingibst, sollte eine Übersicht über eingebbare Kommandos erscheinen. Kannst du diese aufrufen? Eventuell befindet sich der Minimap-Button auch unter einem anderen Button. Mit /fl buttonpos X kannst du den positionieren; das X wäre dabei durch eine Zahl zwischen 0 und 360 zu ersetzen und bestimmt den Winkel um den Minimap-Kreis.

Namica A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 61 Uploads: 0	Moin, da deine Screenshots auf deutsch sind, bin ich mal so frei und frage auf deutsch, mein Englisch ist leider grottig. Ich hab das Addon installiert, wie jedes andere auch (Interface - Addons) aber es funktioniert einfach nicht. Es ist in der Addon-Liste sichtbar, mit Beschreibung - aber sobald ich meinen Char einlogge, ist nichts zu sehen. Kein Minimap-Button, keine Möglichkeit das Menü aufzurufen, die Freundesliste sieht aus wie immer. Was mache ich falsch? Würde mich über Hilfe freuen. LG, Namica
