Xylan Trueheart Premium Member Forum posts: 18 File comments: 91 Uploads: 0	Error in BG's This addon produces a very annoying, "You are not in a party" chat message when in a BG. The error is caused by old addons calling SendAddonMessage to "RAID" when in battlegrounds or arenas. The exact error reads, Interface\AddOns\Wintergrasper_Advanced.lua:969: in function 'WG_announceVersion' Interface\AddOns\|Wintergrasper_Adavanced\Wintergrasper.lua:219:in function 'WG_OnEvent' [string ":OnEvent"]:1: In function <[string":OnEvent"]:1>

Some changes I made

I read somewhere if I wanted changes you said to change the code myself... so I did.

You can get it here. You'll have to manually put Wintergrasper.lua over the current one (in your wow directory/interface/addons/Wintergrasper_Advanced/ if you want to test/use my changes. You may want to make a backup of your current copy first.

Streamlined Invite functions to make them easier to understand and modify.
Added check for player if in Dalaran as well as LakeWintergrasp
Added check if time till wintergrasp < 30 minutes
Added acceptance of invites in say
Added acceptance of invites in trade chat, yell or otherwise
Added ignores for words, guild, pst and pts (misspell of pst that people use) so that those that spam trade with other raids or are looking for guild members get ignored in invites.
Added those already in raid to ignore list, if they say something that triggers the auto-invite.
Streamlined WGAnnounce() functions to make them easier to add to...
Added PST with 'inv' for an invite to Guild and Trade spam messages if you have a raid and its ok to invite (ie you are a leader)

These changes make auto-inviting easy. Just show up around the WG npc and the first /say invite me. will trigger this addon to start a raid and get the process rolling. You don't have to do anything. Of course you have to have auto-invite option set in the /wg panel of options.

--
theKarn, I'm just barely into using Lua ( a day and a half now ). I don't know how to make my changes portable across people groups (the Locale directory), so my "PST with 'inv' for invite" message could probably be relocated there, but I'd leave that to your expertise if you want to incorporate what I've done.
Secondly, I'd like to make the Dalaran /say invites only work near the WG npc, but I've yet to tackle that one. I think I read that other WG addon's do that, but I liked what yours did and didn't want to try and use two addon's (or more) at once.

=== Disclaimer ===
Use at your own risk... It works for me, but it may not for you. Feel free to leave me private messages if you like what I've done or have problems.

Added shift click also, right click is still there... thats sorta what you wanted...
Added must have your WG npc targeted for channel invites and says to be processed. (Is this a good feature?)

1) type "/wg" without the quotes.
2) uncheck "Show Minimap Button"
3) love me.

If all else fails "/script WGSettings.enableMMB = nil"

Open up WintergrasperLBD.lua
Find: button == "LeftButton"

below that line add a new line

Code:

if(WGSettings.SyncMode)then

it should work correctly then.

I don't use LDB, normally. sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused.

theKarn A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 12 Uploads: 4	Note: If you notice the owner display giving incorrect information please report it. Code: /script WGSettings.autoReplyTime = 1 typing this will enable the "hidden" feature that whenever someone says any variant of "time until wg" or "how long until wg" in trade,general,guild,or localdefense you will send them a tell with the time. They key word is wg along with long or time. The bad thing about this is that if someone says "wg time!" or something like that it will send them the time if it's not already started. to turn it off just type: Code: /script WGSettings.autoReplyTime = nil Last edited by theKarn : 05-21-2009 at 02:05 AM.

Of course not, you're much better than WinterTime. Still, I see no reason for WGA not to specify the type of battle in the announce message. I'd rather not have both WinterTime and WGA installed just for this function.

You'll be happy to know I fiddled around with the idea last night and came up with something that worked. So Expect defensive and offensive announcements in the next release along with visual que's for who owns WG.

Quote:

Either ask the raid leader whether or not the raid is a WG raid (at the time of converting the party to a raid), or use the raid leader's proximity to the WG portal in Dalaran to determine if auto-invites should be enabled. If Blizzard would just keep the attackers' portal open all the time, this would be a non-issue

Yeah it's true but I have to work around blizzards retardedness. Interesting idea about the asking if you want to convert to raid or not. We'll see.

Quote:

I agree, and this would eliminate them.

I still hate assist beggers. I always just ignore them in my raids.

Quote:

I would suggest setting the owner of the WG chat channel as the "Master". This could work even if they weren't interested in WG, as they would just be acting as a communications hub between other peoples' addons for the purpose of forming the raid(s).

With some stuff I have been thinking about the whole master/slave idea doesn't seem like the route I'd like to go afterall. I think raid forming should be totally voluntary but once you have the raid set up the adding members should be automatic. It helps alleviate the problems of retardation.

Quote:

Here is where more of a master/slave relationship would come in for the addon and it possibly involves queing the who list which gets quite rough due to blizzards filters and the like. I'll see what comes of it though.

Quote:

I believe the goal of any WG addon should be to make getting information about WG and grouping for WG completely automatic for people running the addon, and as easy as possible for people without the addon. From what I've tried so far, yours comes closest to this ideal.

I love automation. That was what I hoped to achieve when creating this addon in the first place. I wanted to know the time and get a group as quickly as possible. So yeah. You understand what I'd like to achieve perfectly :P

What am I? WinterTime?

Quote:

doing this could have negative effects if you're group leader has the addon, doesn't want to do wintergrasp and doesn't have a full raid

Quote:

assist beggers can suck a fat one.

I agree, and this would eliminate them.

Quote:

Doable but it would require Sync to be enabled, increase channel traffic, and only workable if someone is set as "master" and all the other addons as slaves. I've thought about this as well and It's more complex than you think

Quote:

from my experience people don't like leaving their raid once they have one because of quests and the like.

I'm not talking about removing people from your raid to start a new one, I'm talking about automatically grouping people running the addon who are NOT already in a raid. For example, let's say a WG raid has already been formed, with 20 people in it so far, at least one of whom is the leader or an assistant and has the addon. The 15 minute mark hits, triggering the auto-grouping, and 20 of the other people running WGA would automatically join this raid. Since the raid is now full, any other people running WGA would be automatically grouped into a second raid.

I believe the goal of any WG addon should be to make getting information about WG and grouping for WG completely automatic for people running the addon, and as easy as possible for people without the addon. From what I've tried so far, yours comes closest to this ideal.
