The ImmersionRP Add On originally written by Seagale, continued by Shannae. ImmersionRP is a FlagRSP2 and MyRolePlay compatible Add On, which provides the user with the ability to supply additional descriptive text about their character and to set an "RP Status" such as Roleplayer, In Character, and Looking For Contact. ImmersionRP keeps to a strict design philosophy of intuitive interface design and minimal complication.
This is a small bugfix release, with a client version upgrade.
Naes random tip for this build: Don't want the infobox popping up in the middle of your raid? Right click your unit frame, go to ImmersionRP, and Disable ImmersionRP Temporarily.
Next Up: More code optimization, peer-to-peer description transmission, and improved tooltip handling.
Currently Annoying Me: How to not cause errors with the drop down menu to set a focus, before Blizzard fixes the client so this works the way they tell us it should.
I accept (but do not respond to) direct emails sent to Shannae dot Darkehart at gmail dot com.
Is there any chance that - providing you're still working on this AddOn - the "RP button" that takes everything but the chat frame and stows it away, can be configured to not hide other frames as well (such as the trade window, dialogue window, inventory, character panel, social panel, spellbook, confirmation frame, etc.)?
I really like this feature in ImmersionRP, but it sort of frustrates me that while I have this mode active, a whole plethora of things that I either want to see or that require my attention are hidden from me until I decide to disable the near HUD-less RP Mode and discover it's there.
Is this addon still compatible with other similar addons, such as FlagRSP and MyRP? I've noticed a rather significant drop in roleplaying flags since I switched over to this from the old IRP a few days ago. Of course, this may also be because the other addons are broken from 3.2.2, but I though it best to ask.
This is good news, thank you. I used IRP for a good while before switching to flag2 because I had some trouble with IRP. Now that flag2 is being discontinued, I am glad that this one will not be.
I went ahead and uploaded another small bugfix release today, and updated the TOC. Work on the new communication protocol continues slowly as I have the time, but at the moment, whether or not it ever gets fully realized is somewhat up in the air.
Seagale has made a return to WoW, at least temporarily, and we are discussing the fate of ImmersionRP, our relative roles concerning it, and whether or not a new more modern project gets started and our roles in regards to that.
I'm actually pretty excited by the various possibilities, but I want everyone to know that under no circumstances is ImmersionRP being discontinued. I will always keep it as bugfixed as I know how, just its evolution may slow dramatically.

Mouse over party member icons?
It does not in my vanilla IRP. I can do a bug report with screenshots, if you want.
Bug reports that include all relevant data, such as add on lists, complete error messages, and the occasional screenshot for clarity if the issue is graphical, is the the best way to report any issues you are having.
Particularly when you're experiencing a problem that I am not, such as the above.
With vanillia irp i can get my description on all parts of my player frame and my party frame.
I use STUF also. I tend to pick up my party as i am closer to them. whitch is fine with meas you should have to be close to the person to see thier stuff.
I also note slight delays with tooltip processing. but its minute and i can also accept it as its really not annoying to me.

Line 88 in 1242242369-ImmersionRP.zip:ImmersionRP/ImmersionRP.lua, as downloaded from this site, reads:
Code:
if (ImmersionRPSettings["MODIFY_TOOLTIP"] == 1 and UnitIsPlayer("mouseover")) then
It is the only reference to ImmersionRPSettings["MODIFY_TOOLTIP"] apart from the initialization and the toggle feature in the settings pane. I gave you the line as-is, because I did not expect it to be the same in your working copy. Aparently, you do.
Why don't you spend the energy in making your own bugfix, since you clearly don't want to use mine.

I am willing to help you work around the UIDropDownMenu. Are you willing to be helped?

I never said I wasn't arrogant. My arrogance is backed up with extensive knowledge of many operating systems, programming languages, coding methodologies, such as design patterns, refactoring, extreme programming and intimate knowledge of esoteric hardware. Coding is more than just the programming language and I assume you know that.
In the end, I don't care whether you use my code/fixes or not. I believe you should make every oppertunity to learn more about the system you are using, and when you don't understand my code, nor make any effort to, and assume it's incorrect because you don't understand it, it smacks me as unprofessional. But maybe that's just me.

Well, the several months old bug report, without any comment from you, wasn't really enticing me to use that feature. I'm glad you now know to look at it and good luck with the communication code.
Considering the number of emails I get concerning new private messages, I assumed I would get one if someone submitted a bug report. Apparently, I was wrong.

Originally posted by Shannae Okay, you know what, I appreciate your enthusiasm, I really do, but you don't even have the correct line of the file in question, much less syntactically correct code. At a glance, my estimate is that your change, if applied to the correct portion of the file, would cause IRP to fail to modify a tooltip no matter which one it was.

When you finish changing the communication structure, please consider the following:
As per Hideaki Imamura's bug report, when Beginner Tooltips are enabled, in the Interface, Help panel, the Party Options show as a single long line.
Fix: Do not change the tooltip when Beginner Tooltips are enabled and the mouse is not over the world frame. There are no known side effects of this change.
Code: Change line 88 in ImmersionRP.lua
Code:
if (ImmersionRPSettings["MODIFY_TOOLTIP"] == 1 and UnitIsPlayer("mouseover")) then
to
Code:
if (ImmersionRPSettings["MODIFY_TOOLTIP"] == 1
and ( SHOW_NEWBIE_TIPS == "0" or GetMouseFocus() == WorldFrame )
and UnitIsPlayer("mouseover")) then

The new communication method will be compatible with Mary Sue, yes. Which is requiring a rather substantial rewrite of the peer to peer code I originally wrote, and probably the inclusion of Ace Libraries into ImmersionRP.
In theory, if there are no more 'Disasters' around my house, I'll get it done today or tomorrow, and have the bugtest phase finished by this weekend.
I have never heard of someone locking the chat channel before - I hope this practice doesn't spread. ><
Out of curiosity, will the communication method you've developed be compatible with the method MarySue (on Curse.com) uses? I've got fingers crossed and wish you the best!
