Optional Files - Queue
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
I wanted to limit the size of the Queue window, and so I didn't think about adding a comment column. I could add one in, but comments will have to be short
"more as who is on and available"
I had a fun time working out the character scanning system. You have to be careful about spacing calls and limiting checks. Honestly, I don't use the queue either =p -- it was requested to be designed in this matter.
A whole thing to track bosses sounds neat. I know we have karazhan runs where we got people waiting for certain bosses, although I don't know if I'd write in what people needed. I can easily craft a boss list for instances (either prewritten or generically produced) and add phrases for wanting in on particular bosses. It would just be a matter of presentation in the GUI. I'll think about this.

"the possibility to manage raid invitations"
I'm confused as to what you mean. Are you talking about automatically inviting people to raids by some trigger? Or just a 1 button click to invite the list (or until your raid is a certain size)?
Would be really helpful to have the comment in the queue list.
I dunno if this is worth doing, but it would also be cool to have a database of bosses attached to this. So that we can see which bosses people need loot from.
Honestly, we aren't using this as a queue, but more as who is on and available, and we would really benefit from the added support of "who needs what boss" kinda thing.
If there was a database of sorts of boss mobs ... maybe there could be a whisper feature for that as well, so that people can whisper me : NEED Attunemen Moroes Maiden ... something like that.
Thanks for all that you have done. I have been away form the game for a week or so due to illness and computer problems. This addon gets better and better. Thanks again.
The keywords for inviting and removing from the queue can be found and modified under the option menu. Hold shift and click the 'q' button to access it.
I'm implemented everything except for raid syncing. In order to sync queues, I'll need to switch the addon's clock from computer time to game time. I probably could touch up on some button positioning and other things.
It looks great so far. I might have missed the information, but what are the key words to be auto added, deleted and such with this addon. I also sent you a PM on your guild boards with other things I would like to see added.
Thanks so much for doing this for me. It makes my queue listing tracker 100% easier while raiding.
