Greetings,
I tend to be a bit wordy at times so bear with me. The mod started as a personal mod of mine that I added things I found helpful and used them myself, until it got to a point where I thought others might be able to find it useful as well and decided to post it. Useful Extras is a small little mod to make a number of helpful options availible, it takes almost no memory or processor use. To summarize; There is a basic calculator, color picker that is mainly helpful to developers or anyone messing with WoW text colors in-game, and a couple auto options similar to what TwoBox used to do but with more options.
The readme gives more specific details, but below is a basic summary of whats there right now.
And the portal here, will have have more frequent news about this mod same as Looter, as well as the Bug Reports and Feature Requests section there is availible for Useful Extras as well.
Functioning:
* Toggles for: Autoaccept Invite, Summon, Ress, Autofollow, Automount, UE on or off, Allow friends or Guild lists to use commands, Auto-accept Quests, Auto-complete Quests, Sticky Follow (follow after exiting combat), Whisper Relaying, Low Health/Mana Warning, and Return/Delete icons for the Mailbox.
* New toggles for Auto-declining Duel requests, or Guild Invites/Charter requests, as well as Auto-releasing on death in a battleground and Auto-passing on loot rolls.
* The before said features the toggles are for (that always work for those manually added to the Leader list, and work for those on the friends or guild lists if the use friends or guild toggles are on).
* Basic GUI, can be accessed with /ue menu
* Minimap button to open the menu, or reload the UI
* LDB(Broker) Support, minimap button functionality but on Titan Panel Fubar, or other LDB compatible displayer.
* Exp Report with /ue exp, or whisper command with /whisper name exp
* In-Game Basic Calculator (/ue calc (9*9)/3)
* ID command, to get a moused over items itemLink, item id, and stack size
* Ability to use the In-Game Color picker to get RGB values of any color, or the 'real' value used by WoW for its chat colors, Useful for developers to get the wow color values for using in chat messages. Can use /ue test chat to see what the current selected color will look like in a chat message, or /ue setcolor to set a standard R,G,B value (/ue setcolor 255,124,56) for seeing what it'd look like in a chat message with /ue test chat. If using /ue getwowcolor, only the first two digits after the period are really necessary (0.04, 0.48), or simply get the RGB values and put (rgbvalue/255) in your code.
Using the recently added change to the mounting up function, you can make a global macro with /script UE_pickMount("smart") and it will automatically mount your best availible mount depending on what you have, your location & if you have cold weather flight for northrend. You can then put the global macro button on the actionbar of any character that has UE enabled and click it to smartly mount the best mount for the location regardless of what mounts each char may or may not have.
New Mounting Macros: Commands are /ue createmacros local, or /ue createmacros global Will create three mounting macros either in the global, or character-specific sections for the three mounting functions, such as one for best ground mount, one for best air, and one for "smart mounting" which can then easily be put on the actionbar. In the case of making them global, you could then have them availible to any character on the account to use the same macro and mount up regardless of what mounts they may or may not have.
Also the recently added preferred mount feature will be taken into account first when using any of the before said macros (or mounting whispers).
Todos:
In-Line Todos:
* Improve the Basic GUI (really this time)
Future Todo:
* TBD
Eternal Todos:
* Eliminate any bugs (if any)

I am trying to make this work together with looter for the automount after gathering function. I can't make it work to save my soul. I have downloaded the latest version of both addons, set them both to automount, but nothing happens.
I am a Worgen, with the fast land 'mount', and herbalism, if that has anything to do with, anything? |

Unfortunately in the two areas that deal with auto-invites I don't have any debug code to print out more information that may help track it down in the current release, I'll get some in there for the next release with the moving the options frame issue resolved to try and get this issue tracked down for you. Edit: Although.., if the person you've had inviting you is on your friends (regular friend not real id), guild, or leader lists, if you could type /dump (UE_checkWho("<name>")) in chat (<name> being the name of the friend/guild/leaders character name), and let me know what the allowed result is, that would definitely help in the meantime.
Either way though, I do intend to embed it eventually, my apologies for the meantime.

Thanks for the reply.
The EMLib version is the one included with this mod: 0.16. As noted in my prior post, the UE version was 0.3.2. As to what happens, it behaves as though no auto-invite mods are running. The standard invite frame stays open until you accept or decline like normal. No errors at any time (running BugSack/!BugGrabber here). Yes, the option for it is selected in options. The problem remains after deleting the UsefulExtras.lua for characters and starting from scratch. After resolving this, would be nice to see that EMLib library put in/accessed from a subfolder of UsefulExtras as opposed to a standalone folder. Every other custom library I've ever tested or used that can't be downloaded as a standalone "mod" (are limited to the author's own mods, etc.) are always put in subfolders. Makes keeping track of things easier and less extraneous listings in the Addons list on the user end. |

Would you be able to do /eml version and /ue version in wow and let me know what the results are? Also have you received any errors that you know, or when you get a group invite does it just have the invite window stay open, or does it get 'declined'? |

Great. But one further problem experienced that unfortunately kills the mod here (and likely elsewhere): with v0.3.2, the Auto-accept Group Invite option completely fails to function when being invited to a group or raid by a guild member.
My latency was always under 200ms. It fails to function whether being invited right at logon or after being online for a long period of time. Deleted the saved variables and started new; no change. ["AutoInvite"] = true, continued to exist in the character's UsefulExtras.lua saved variables file. After five invite failures on various days, I went back to the Automaton mod (which is outdated, but doesn't have this problem). Hopefully you can resolve the issue. Auto-res has never failed to work properly, but there is no point to using this here if auto-invite doesn't work.

WoW 4.0.6 live, bring up the Usable Extras option frame. Click anywhere on the frame (to try to move it) the following error is thrown up and the frame doesn't move:
Code:
["message"] = "<string>:\"UE1:OnDragStart\":1: Frame UE1 is not movable\n<string>:\"*:OnDragStart\":1: in function <[string \"*:OnDragStart\"]:1>\n\nLocals:|r\nself = UE1 {\n 0 = <userdata>\n}\nbutton = \"LeftButton\"\n\n ---", ["type"] = "error", ["session"] = 1499, ["counter"] = 3, }, -- [1000] |

I have noticed this recently as well, and I know its not a different addon issue, looks like blizzard changed the api to hide popup windows somewhere and I'll get that tracked down and fixed for the next release. |

I know it's a bit late, but my problem is really starting to get annoying.
Somehow, the party invite window doesn't get hidden when having auto accept invite enabled. The invite itself is accepted without a problem. It's also not a different addon that's causing this problem, as it happens when only EMLib and UsefulExtras are enabled. |

Does this addon forward B.NET Messages as well? I see that it does Chat Relay, but it didn't say on the other.

Auto Summon
Am I missing something besides checking the Auto Summon checkbox to get them to auto accept a Warlock Summons?
