flagRSP MoP

Version: 1.2.7

by: Syeira, Typhix

flagRSP MoP 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 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 MoP (formerly known as flagRSP BC, flagRSP WotLK, and flagRSP Cataclysm) is the original flagRSP add-on updated and enhanced for the World of Warcraft 5.0 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.

Please note that flagRSP MoP 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.

Version information for v1.2.2 (compatible to WoW 5.2)
As always with a new version it's a very good idea to make an update of your flagrsp files ("YourWowDirectory/WTF/Account/YourAccountName/SavedVariables/flagRSP.lua" and "YourWowDirectory/WTF/Account/YourAccountName/CharacterName/SavedVariables/flagRSP.lua" for each character). Just rename them (for example to flagRSPbak.lua) or copy them somewhere else (or zip them).

The friendlist is going to be changed in 1.2.2. So when you log in, the names in the Friendlist will look like "Sye (Syeira) Ravenwing". The rp name is now handled completely independent from the ingame name. That means, the ingamename must be exactly the name of the character ingame or the charname-servername (without spaces) for people from other servers. But the rp name you can just change to what you want.

The good news is, that this change in the friendlist structure allows you to create flags for people without any flagaddon - or even for people from CROSSREALMS!

How crossrealm friends works:

Take your new friend into the target
Click on the "Add Friend"-button at the bottom of the flagRSP friendlist
The ingame name is filled automatically, e.g. "Syeira-Forscherliga" for other realms than yours, or just "Syeira" if it is from your realm
a) If you have no target, or want to add someone else, you have to insert the correct ingame name like "Syeira-Forscherliga" or "Syeira"
Fill in the firstname and surname (or just one...), title, notes and set the friendstate
a) If the new friend is from your own realm and has a flag addon, the rp info is taken from the flag infos
Click the "Add" button
Enjoy

FlagRSP will now use the information of the friendlist as a tooltip, if no flag is present.

Unfortunately, the direct addon communication between cross realm zones is still not working, but with this way you can do it manually:

You make a character on the foreign realm, e.g. "Argent Dawn". Go to the people you want the flag from, and mouseover them. Wait a little until you can see their flags. Then you can logout and switch back to your character. The next time you see them, you should have a flag for them (but it might be outdated).
Also, you should set a higher purgeflagintervall for flagRSP via

Code:

/rsp purgeflaginterval X

(X in seconds).
For example clears
/rsp purgeflaginterval 4838400
all flags older than 2 months (the default is 14 days).

Features

Set one of four roleplaying flags to show other players your preferred roleplaying style.
Set one of four character states to show other players how much in character you currently are or if you are searching for contact
Choose a first name for your character.
Choose a last name for your character.
Choose a title for your character.
Add a description of the outward appearance of your character.
All those attributes mentioned above will be visible to other users of flagRSP or compatible addons.
An enhanced friend list that can hold an unlimited number of entries.
You can add players, NPCs and even whole guilds of both factions to your friend list.
You can mark characters, guilds and NPCs on your friend list as known, friend or foe.
Add detailed notes to your friends or foes in your friend list.
Replace exact level information of all units by relative ones (from “extremely puny” to “hopelessly superior”).
Hide names of unknown players.
Characters marked as foe will be signalized acoustically when hovering them with your mouse cursor.
Make PVP rank, title, guild and guild rank of other characters visible in your tooltip. Or hide them!
flagRSP's tooltip modifications can be turned off if needed to avoid conflicts with other tooltip addons.
Every feature is optional.

flagRSP MoP is fully translated to English, German and Russian 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.

Compatibility

flagRSP MoP now supports the MarySue protocol (MSP). As there should be only one addon implementing MSP, please run only one of flagRSP, FlagRSP2, TotalRP 2 or MyRolePlay.

Trouble shooting

Common problems can be solved by simple commands you type into your chat window.

''/rsp resetinfobox'' — This will reset the position of the infobox that displays your target's character description. This is useful if you accidentally moved the infobox out of scope.
"/rsp resetbutton" — This will reset the button that typically appears above your target frame. The button is movable so it is possible to move it behind other ui elements. The command will reset it to the target frame.
''/rsp alwaysinfobox'' — By default flagRSP remembers if a target's description window was shown or hidden the last time you clicked on it. You can use this to command if you want your description window to always pop up automatically when you click on a flagged target. You can use this command to return to default behavior as well.
"/fl mm an" — Displays the button at the minimap.
"/fl mm aus" — Hides the button at the minimap.
''/fl show'' — Shows your friendlist and your flagRSP settings.
''/fl hide — Hides the friendlist frame.
''/rsp'' — Shows a couple of useful commands regarding some flagRSP core features.
''/fl'' — Shows a couple of useful commands regarding some friendlist frame features.

Namica A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 169 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

Typhix A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 26 Uploads: 1	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: 169 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

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

Sec A Cyclonian Forum posts: 48 File comments: 177 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.

Typhix A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 26 Uploads: 1	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 : 09-28-08 at 11:41 AM.

Sec A Cyclonian Forum posts: 48 File comments: 177 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. 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!

To answer the last part about SendAddOnMessage, as the developer of ImmersionRP I tried to get the old authors of the other mods to investigate such a thing, and they werent interested. Now that smeone else is picking up this project, perhaps at least two of the three will get updated to the modern code.

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:

--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.

Azureglade A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	I've been unable to access the interface, or whatever the place where you input all the stuff such as your description and which flags you want to use, since the Wrath patch. I can still see my own and other people's descriptions, so at least part of the addon still works for me.

10-20-08, 01:46 AM
Typhix A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 26 Uploads: 1	@Azureglade: Please deactivate all addons but flagRSP and its loader. Is the interface still inaccessible? @SendAddOnMessage topic: The new (well, actually they aren’t really new anymore) addon channels are great for most addon purposes. But I'm still not sure if they can handle the needs of our flag tools. xtensionxtooltip2's greatest advantage is that it is readable immediately by everyone. Currently someone requests your character information und flagRSP answers this (once in a 5 minute timeframe). This response is read by every client that is currently connected to xtensionxtooltip2. One broadcast, everyone has the information. SendAddOnMessage only allows communication with a small group of people. The only way to broadcast your character description via addon channels is whispering everyone near you as they won’t necessarily be in your guild/party/etc. Now imagine roleplaying events with 100 participants. Each flag user would have to get in contact with every single other one. Phew. Takes time and an immense amount of data traffic. Sec, I don’t know exactly what your posted quote means, but it sounds to me like the thing our flag tools already do: using chat channels to provide information.
