Basically, I'm looking for an addon that'll let me write *asterisk emotes* in a chat message and have those split into separate /emotes once the message is posted.
If I, for instance, write a message that goes:
|
Some message. *some emote.*
|
It'll be output in the chat as:
<Player> says: Some message.
<Player> some emote.
|
________________________
Vice versa, if I write the emote before the message, like this:
|
*some emote.* Some message.
|
It'll appear as:
<Player> some emote.
<Player> says: Some message.
|
________________________
Or if I do both several times within a message:
|
Some message. *some emote.* Some message. *some emote.*
|
That'll work too:
<Player> says: Some message.
<Player> some emote.
<Player> says: Some message.
<Player> some emote.
|
________________________
Support for the game's built-in emotes would also be nice:
|
Some message. *openfire* (or */openfire*)
|
Becomes:
<Player> says: Some message.
<Player> gives the order to open fire.

I had something that did this some time ago, but it was part of a bigger addon together with lots of other integrated features. It's been a while since I used that addon, it's been a while since last time there was much word from the developer, and it seems a bit crude to seek him out just to ask if he can extract that feature and make it an independent addon. So if there are anyone here with the time and energy to whip up an addon like this (can't imagine it being that hard), that'd be totally awesome (alternatively, if anyone knows of an addon that already does this, that'd be even more awesome).
