  Change Log - Who Pinged?
v1.2.8:
Bug fixes.
Toc update.
Who Pinged? no longer uses BabbleClass due to recent changes to blizzard API.
Added a new Output option.

v1.2.7:
Fixed bug where if you weren't near a person who pinged it would print a message just saying nil.

v1.2.6:
Added a check to check if the person who pinged is visible.
Moved items out of the AddonLogin OnEvent to a new OnEnable function.
Changed the GetClassColor Function to return a value rather then set a global one then use it elsewhere.
Changed the locale files so they can use the CurseForge Localization system.
Fixed bug where regardless of the DisableInBG option the ping message would be displayed in a Battleground.
The Ping Function now only adds the ping to the new Pings table. The printing functionality has now been added to the PrintMessage Function.
Some bits of commented code left in for future implementation.
Toc Interface update for Patch 3.1.
Toc Version update to v1.2.6.

v1.2.4:
Fixed a bug in embeds.xml where a few libaries were loaded to late or to early that caused errors I've never really noticed.

Ummmm...........Huh?

Sorry, but I don't understand the concept of this. Can you explain what exactly this would be needed for?

I'm in the IT field, and the act of 'pinging' to me refers to the sending/receiving of packets to verify network connectivity/functionality. But obviously, this is not the case (judging by some of the comments below).

One of the posts below comment about the whole 'pinging of the minimap' business being potentially detrimental in a Battlegrounds setting. If this type of thing happens more in a BG setting, then please forgive my ignorance (as I have no experience in those places; and perhaps this addon should be moved to the PVP/Arena/Battlegrounds section).

Thank you

I will try to work on this feature next. I apologize for not responding or getting to it sooner. I thought I set it to send me emails when I get new comments on WoWInterface, but I didn't >.>.

A nice additional feature would be the ability to enable an option for summary if a player pinged several times within the interval. For example:

Instead of:

Player pinged
Player1 pinged
Player pinged

It would show:
Player pinged [2]
Player1 pinged

You could either set it to a period of say 30 or 60 seconds or give us an option to set that period.

When someone pings repeatedly, especially in battleground chat, important tactical messages can get scrolled out of the visible portion of the window, forcing one to scroll back to see any messages; which can be costly in the midst of battle.

Hope this suggestion proves useful.

Ana

p.s. This would be similar to what occurs in ZoneDefense mod when multiple messages occur within a set time period; though the implementation would be completely different as this has to do with player initiated messages rather than WorldDefense messages.

Great addon. Being in groups where somebody finds it hilarious to constantly ping spam the minimap gets annoying fast. This addon makes it incredibly easy to find out who is pinging, and swiftly kick them before everybody starts complaining.
