Follow Felankor
A World of Warcraft UI AddOn
By Felankor

NOTE: Your friends, guild, group and raid members DO NOT need this AddOn installed to be able to command you.

#############################
DESCRIPTION
#############################

Allows your friends, guild members, group and raid members to put you on Auto-Follow + more
(See features for a more detailed list).

Hate it when you're in a group and your phone rings or
someone knocks your door, then you find that when you
return your group has gone on without you and you have
to try and catch up?

Follow Felankor allows your friends, guild, group or raid members to
make you follow them. So that they don't leave you behind
if you go AFK.

Do you like to dual box? (I.e. play two characters at once). Follow Felankor allows you to make
your second character follow you or use its mount.

It also has some other useful features, and some fun ones.

#############################
DONATIONS
#############################

Any donations will be greatly appreciated.

What will your donations be used for?

1) If enough money is donated I will use it to pay for web hosting so that I am able to create a website for Follow Felankor and any other addons which I may decide to create in the future.
2) Any additional donations will then be put towards paying for my WoW subscription which I obviously need in order to develop and test the addons which I create.

I would like to take this opportunity to give a huge thank you to anybody who makes a donation. Your support is very much appreciated and I'm glad you like my addon(s).

Thank you!

feature suggestion

Hello again!
I found an AddOn that has similar function to FollowFelankor: UberAddOn.

It has one feature that looks interesting. Here is the description of that feature:

Quote:

!invite - invites the whisperer - This command does not require the whisperer to be on the authorized user list. If you are not leader, you will whisper the requester back notifying them and will also ask in group that they be invited.

FF does have an invite request, but as far as I know FF doesn't send a response if the target of the request is not the party leader, and FF doesn't send a message to party requesting the sender be invited.

I like it; what do you think?

Thank you.

I don't know what was the problem, but when we first tried it the other day with two of us running 2.10, we could not see the announcement. We played again tonight, with different characters, and it worked perfectly! I don't know what was different other than the characters. It was level 80 Rogue (me) and level 80 Warrior when it (supposedly) didn't work. Tonight when it was working, level 65 Mage (me) and Paladin. Maybe I was tired (I was fighting a cold in the head) and missed something. Anyway, thank you very much.

Using this update, v2.1.0 30300, we are not seeing the notification when one of us starts to follow the other. I don't see a FF menu selection or command for that, so can I assume we just use the Blizzard "Follow" command? Is the notice supposed to be in a Whisper?
If I missed something obvious, I will apologize.

Thank you.

Here's how it works. Just as in previous versions, if player A whispers !ff_follow to player B, player B will announce that they have started following player A (As long as it isn't turned off in player B's options).

The new feature is only fired when a player puts him/her self on follow. I.e. if player B right clicks player A's portrait and clicks "Follow", player A ONLY will see a notice in chat saying "[FF] PlayerB is following you.". Player B will NOT see the message. This will only work if both player A and player B have FF v2.1.0. (NOTE: You DONT have to use the Follow button on the portrait menu. Any method of starting auto follow EXCEPT for the !ff_follow and !ff_f commands should trigger the notice. I was just giving an example.)

I hope this makes sense. If you are still unable to see the message please let me know and I will look into it.

Thank you.

Well don't leave just yet, I will look into adding this feature in the next version of FF.

Thanks for your feedback.

1) FollowMe hasn't been updated in quite a long time
2) FollowMe only has one use: following someone or making someone follow, whereas FF has more that it can do.

The same friends that like to follow the leader (me in this case) also like that I can invite them when we are scheduled to play and they don't have to click on the accept button. Not a big deal, you would think, but I guess it works for them! I gotta say though, that I have thought more than a few times about going back to FollowMe just to get that one feature back!

Thank you.

One thing I wish it did that FollowMe has an option to do was to announce that someone had started following me. FF announces if I make someone follow me, but not the other way around. As I am often waiting to proceed to the next destination until those that I know want to follow me have done so, I knew immediately when that happened with FollowMe but with FF I have to ask or otherwise confirm it.
If FF already has such an option, I'm sorry but I missed it.

Thank you!

FF doesn't have this feature at the moment but I will definitely think about adding it to the next version. Thank you for your suggestion. I always like to receive feedback as I think that the best addons are ones which have been developed to meet its users requests instead of just what the developer wants. If you don't mind I would like to ask you a question. You say that even though FF doesn't have this feature you have still chosen to use FF instead of FollowMe. I'm just curious as to what made you choose FF?

Thanks,

I have not taken any code from the fan update so any bugs that were fixed in that may or may not be fixed in my version (depending on if I knew about them). I use the addon myself quite often and I haven't seen that happen (or just haven't noticed if it has). Are you able to send me a screenshot of both screens when this happens please? (Either by uploading it to something like image shack or pm me and I'll give you an email address). Thanks for pointing it out to me.

Felankor

I'm going to do a little poking around this weekend, I think there might be another addon that is auto declining group invites, I just built a new rig and updated to Curse 4 and Minion at teh same time and pulled some new addons down to boot. Wish there was a debug mode in WoW that would log all Addon actions and not just the bugs...
In other words, I was really tired when I posted last night and shouldn't have been operating any kind of machinery :P

Sorry that I don't upload updates very often. I have recently moved servers and had to start again from scratch. My main is now 72, I'm trying to get 80 asap. Once I've reached 80 I'm hoping to finish working on the next release and then I want to start releasing more regular updates.

Thank you to everyone who has given me feedback.

Is there a way to make it so this safeguard can be toggled off? With the finicky way some flying mounts work, especially dealing with them while they're on follow, they almost never land correctly when the lead character lands and I still have to switch to those screens to manually land them so they dismount.

It is possible, but it's trying to work out the best way to do it. The idea is you can't accidently dismount while the toon is flying. I had a friend dismount me by mistake and my toon fell and died. I wanted to get it to check how high the toon is flying and only allow dismount if it's a safe distance from the ground. But I couldn't find a command that lets you check. I will look into this but not sure what the best method is yet.

Sorry but the AcceptTrade function is protected meaning only Blizzard are able to use it. So I am unable to add this feature. Thank you for your idea though.

Thank you for the ideas.
