Thanks4Buff

Version: 1.0.11

by: Sekrin [More]

Whenever someone who is not yourself or a member of your party/raid casts a buff on you, this addon will automatically emote a thank you message at them. It's based on a request by nickyjean on the WOWI forums.

Options
Three new options have been added to Blizzard Interface Options panel:

Create a Macro
If you play a paladin, priest, druid or mage then Thanks4Buff can create a macro that will automatically cast your main class buff (BoK, Fort, MotW or AI) on the person that buffed you. This option is automatically disabled for other classes. Please also note that the macro cannot be updated in combat.
Add Spellname to Emote
Controls whether to not T4B adds the name of the buff into the thank-you emote.
Thank NPCs
Controls whether or not you automatically thank NPCs when they cast their buff on you.

Bugs/Issues
None known.

Todo

If someone would like to translate the thank you message (or suggest others) in any of the languages supported by WoW, please feel free.

Version 1.0.11
(*) Removed some debug stuff I accidentally left behind.

Version 1.0.10

Logged out of game; started without addon; shut game down. Readded addon, reloaded, set options and it will not create the macro.

would I be right in thinking that if the buff name starts with a vowel, the bottom of the two translations you've provided is correct, otherwise it's the top one?

Yes

As for the Fort buff, it uses the full localised name as reported by the combat log, so it would be "Power Word: Fortitude".

"thanks #n for their #s." for for ["MAGE"] (AI), ["PRIEST"] (Fort) => "remercie #n pour son #s."

"is grateful for #n's #s." for ["PRIEST"] (Fort) => "est reconnaissant pour le #s de #n."

"appreciates #n's #s." for ["PRIEST"] (Fort) => "apprécie le #s de #n."

Just to make sure that I'm putting the translations in correctly, would I be right in thinking that if the buff name starts with a vowel, the bottom of the two translations you've provided is correct, otherwise it's the top one?

Thanks for your addon.

If someone would like to translate the thank you message (or suggest others) in any of the languages supported by WoW, please feel free.

I tried to translate in french :
"thanks #n for their #s." for ["DRUID"] (MotW), ["PALADIN"] (BoK) => "remercie #n pour sa #s."
"thanks #n for their #s." for ["MAGE"] (AI) => "remercie #n pour son #s."

"is grateful for #n's #s." for ["DRUID"] (MotW), ["PALADIN"] (BoK) => "est reconnaissant pour la #s de #n."
"is grateful for #n's #s." for ["MAGE"] (AI) => "est reconnaissant pour l'#s de #n."

"appreciates #n's #s." for ["DRUID"] (MotW), ["PALADIN"] (BoK) => "apprécie la #s de #n."
"appreciates #n's #s." for ["MAGE"] (AI) => "apprécie l'#s de #n."

"thanks #n." => "remercie #n."
"is grateful to #n." => "est reconnaissant envers #n."
"is appreciative towards #n." => "apprécie #n."

I have just a question for the priest (Fort) : in english, the emote is "thanks #n for their Fortitude" or "thanks #n for their Power Word : Fortitude" ?

NPC Buffs

I had to remove the addon as it was getting tiresome explaining why I was thanking quest NPCs for applying buffs on me.

I've noticed it doing the same thing with Arthas' Devotion Aura in CoT:CoS. I'd originally left it thanking NPCs on purpose, as an RP-thing, but running in and out of Arthas' aura meant it kept popping up.

The next version of this addon will no longer thanks NPCs.

Buff Names

actually, i really like that it says the name of the buff in the emote.

I'm working on this functionality at the moment and it will be available as an option in the next version.

Hi oddtoddy,

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, in order to properly use the /thank emote I'd have to change the player's target to the character that cast the buff, which isn't possible. I can however fake the emote by simply removing the last section of the current emote (where it mentions the buff). I've added this to the Feature Request section of my WoWI portal.

As for adding a delay, I'm not entirely sure about it. It's certainly possible, but it's not as simple as just adding the delay - I'll have to include a waiting list of people (just in case you're lucky enough to be randomly buffed by multiple people within the delay period) and I'd have to make sure that each person only got thanked once or that I recorded all their buffs to thank them for all of them at once. I've added this one to the Feature Request list as well, but I can't guarantee it'll be implemented.

Thanks for explaining it to me. I didn't realize how complicated a simple little addon really is.

Thanks for all your hard work on this!

Would it possible though to just add the option to /thank the person and not name the buff or the spell? Also, I think maybe there should be a two or three second delay instead of just having it come up instantly. It seems a little less automated that way.

Hi tralkar,

Glad you like it. I put that "their" in because the emote didn't sound right to me without it: "Sekrin thanks RandomDruid for Mark of the Wild." - it's a matter of personal preference I suppose. In any case, as I mention in the description page I'm intending on adding some more phrases in a later update - if you'd like to submit any for inclusion please post them here.
