2.3.4
Updated for patch 4.0.1
- Tested all features
- Incremented version number

2.3.3
Bug Fixes
- Minimap icon obeys preferences between logins
- LFG channel is no longer hard coded to the number 4 (Now it's the right number for your server!)


2.3.2
Whispers!

- Implemented the ability to whisper to your target or your target's target
- Laid the ground work for replying to whispers
- Laid the ground work for executing macros


2.3.1

Smaller, Prettier, and More Pages

- Implemented the ability to control the color of a button from the button editor
- Implemented smaller buttons with gradients and smaller labels
- Reduced the size of the button palette
- Added 2 more pages for a total of 5 on the button palette
- Added a Battle Rez button (that works with the mouse over macroword and a target's target button
- Added macrowords for my target's target:

"%%targettargetname%%", -- returns the name of the target's target
"%%targettargethealth%%", -- returns the % health of the target's target
"%%targettargetpower%%", -- returns the % power of the target's target
"%%targettargetpowertype%%", -- returns the power type of the target's target

2.3.0

* Implemented the standard key bindings UI so now you can trigger a button with a keystroke
* Implemented shift-clicking on icon so you can include hyperlinks in your messages
* Implemented macrowords for mousing and the selected quest
* Fixed some bugs

2.2.0

* Implemented "macro words". Now Megaphone messgages can contain dynamic data like the name of the zone where your character is or the health of your target. Eight macro words have been implemented so far.
** %%subzone%% -- returns the subzone a player is in
** %%time%% -- returns the realm current time
** %%lust%% -- returns "Blood Lust" if horde or "Heroism" if alliance
** %%health%% -- returns the % health of the player
** %%power%% -- returns the % mana/rage/energy of the current player
** %%powertype%% -- returns the power type (mana, rage, focus, energy, runic power) of the player
** %%targethealth%% -- returns the % health of the player's target
** %%focushealth%% -- returns the % health of the player's target
* To use a macro word just type it in to a message. Examples include:
** I'm standing in %%subzone%%
** The server time is %%time%%
** I'm down to %%power%% of my %%powertype%%
* When you click a button containing a macro word the word is replaced with information from the WoW client or server.
* Example buttons with macro words are now on the 3rd page on the button palette.
* Also I cleaned up my code so it is more readable and matches the Lua style guidelines.

2.1.3
* Party/Raid option is now Party/Raid/BG, if you are in a Battleground then raid messages are sent to /BG
* Fixed problem with button palette blinking when party members change and auto hide option is set
* Changed some wording on the prefs screen


2.1.2
* Click the blue Megaphone icon on the top left of the button palette to bring up the preferences editor (or type /meph prefs)
* Use the Alpha Level slider to set the transparency of the button palette
* Use the Frame Size slider to grow or shrink the size of the button palette (the button labels don't resize well--I have to work on small sizes)
* Click MiniMap button checkbox to show or hide the Megaphone button on the MiniMap
* Click the Edit Multiple Buttons checkbox to keep the button palette unlocked so you edit buttons more quickly
* Click the Hide Out of Group checkbox to automatically hide the button palette when you are not in a party or raid (you can always show it with the MiniMap button or /meph show)
* Click the Restore Default Data checkbox to wipe all your custom buttons and edits to the default buttons. This option restores Megaphone to its original state. Can't be undone!
* I also fixed a bug with saved variables--just a dumb coding mistake :)

2.1.1
* Messages now sent to multiple channels in the right order
* Thanks to Soleater for his testing help!


2.1.0
* Minimap button, click to show Megaphone if you've closed it
* use /meph hide to hide the minimap button if it's annoying you
* Megaphone now posts messages with up to 4 lines for each button
* Megaphone now let's you send your messages to guild, officer, trade, and LFG chat as well as party, raid and raid warning

2.0.0
Redesigned from the ground up!
- Three pages of buttons
- All buttons can be edited
- Customized buttons saved between sessions
- New slash command meph /reset restores Megaphone to its default state



1.1.0
Lots of new features and a fix!
- Smaller more compact size
- Colored buttons: Red, Blue, and Green
- Two additional buttons: Wipe and Loot Rules
- Fixed encoding so that windows users can read my code


1.0.1a
Fixed problems with the way I zipped up the files: Now Megaphone will actually load and there are no extraneous Mac OSX files included.

1.0.1
Fixed a bug with Frame strata: Now Megaphone displays properly when overlapping other addons and Blizzard UI widgits.

Please, make the window hidden on default, it is a bit annoying to see it every time I log in, or at least make it possible to choose that as default setting. Make it possible to have more than 3 page Please dont reset the "locked" to "on" every time I save a button, Keep it unlocked untill I decide to lock it again. You can use the prefs to set the button palette to be hidden unless you are in an instance. That should help. I can add a hide by default setting as well. You can change the behavior of the locked checkbox in prefs. If you check "edit multiple buttons" it will do what you want. Prefs are accessed by clicking the megaphone icon on the top left of the button palette or my typing /meph prefs in chat. I'm going to add more pages in the very near future Thanks!

Any hints as to what makes the error appear? Or is it all the time? Try typing "/meph reset" in chat and see if that makes the error go away. I'll talk to my guild and see if other players are seeing similar problems! Thanks again! Yeah, looking at the error message closer, it looks like the value for scaling the UI is missing. Resetting back the default data should clear it up (/meph reset) but you'll lose any custom messages. Sorry about this. I'll continue to look into it.

yamantaka A Kobold Labourer   Forum posts: 0 File comments: 14 Uploads: 1	Originally posted by MidgetMage55 Might i suggest that if the purpose of the addon is to assist with a raid and certainly not targeted at spammers you might want to limit the channels they can post in to raid, raid warning, group and so on. Perhaps even having it disable or lock itself if your are not raid lead or assist. While it may not be able to do as much as a macro never hurts to discourage its use in a negative fashion. I'm definitely not interested in any spamming use case. I only added trade and LFG channels after it was requested and I found I was using it to to find pugs for raids. (Once Blizzard allows cross-server raid groups it won't be so hard to compete for tanks and healers.) I've also found that non-raid leaders need to communicate to the rest of the raid just like they can do normally. My addon doesn't let you do more than the blizzard UI allows. In fact if you start sending messages too quickly wow throttles your messages. All-in-all when I'm using the addon with my guild and pugs it doesn't seem to be contributing to the spam problem. But thanks for your comments.

IMO this seems like an AddOn that assist spammers with their multiline LFG and LFM crap in trade.. You bring up some good a good point. I don't want to do anything to add to the spam in trade chat. I'm following what people have asked for and I think their needs are legit. If you're a spammer my addon doesn't really do as much as a macro. My guild is using Megaphone in raids and heroic instances. Last night I was using it on ICC 10 to make sure dps knew when to hit the adds or the boss.

Have you tried using bartender and wow's built in macro editor? I could add a checkbutton for non-chat. Then any macro would work. I'll think about it
