Call To Arms FanUpdate (Beta)

Version: R14

by: SpamStringer [More]

Taken from original description:

CallToArms (CTA) has three main features:

1. Find players and groups - This feature shows the user a list of all players who are looking to join a group and groups who are currently looking for more players. This is a global list that shows players and groups from all over Azeroth.

2. Flag yourself as LFG - Using this feature, the player enters a short description of the desired quest/instance etc. that s/he would like to do. This information is placed on the same list that is viewable by all other users globally.

3. Find more players for your group - CTA lets group leaders create a profile of their group. This profile includes a short description, the maximum size of the group and the level range of the group members. Group leaders can even set the class distribution of the group members. This information is posted on the global list so that other users can view it.

CTA also has a blacklist feature which is a list of players that are not allowed to join your group. The blacklist also acts as an extended ignore list.

This is a beta version so I'm looking for feedback on if the mod is working like it used to.

Sorta like a CTAlight, just a channel parser and LFG/LFM display list.

I was thinking the same thing it needs to be an LFG/LFM monitor...the grp mgmt stuff can be stripped. I might tackle that.

Hi SpanStringer, sorry I didnt get your message. To be honest I havent logged into any of the WoW addon sites for at least a whole year. When I did pass thru, I saw sylvanaar doing a great job of keeping CTA alive and updated on curse, etc. If you still want to contact me, please send it directly to: sacha[underscore]beharry[at]hotmail.

Cheers,
Sacha

Used to be useful yes, but it pretty much needs everyone to have CTA installed (IIRC, been a while that i used that feature)

It's not very user friendly (IMO) and it might be more useful to add something simpler like "LF: x DPS, y TANK, z HEALER" in a GUI or something.

Next on the TODO list is to update this addon for WoTLK. Unfortunately, I didn't get into Beta so I'll have to find a list of the new zones/dungeons or else have to wait until the xpac is released.

Sorta like a CTAlight, just a channel parser and LFG/LFM display list. Maybe you're bored? :P

P.S. for some reason your addon got removed from curse (not that i actually care about that place), just in case you want to look into that.
