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)

Ok, everytime I update UE, I have to go back and change my options. Is this normal? Its like my settings aren't getting saved, or are getting reverted back to the original. No I haven't tested it without anything else running atm. Thought I'd ask first before, since I have some mods that really DON'T like to save their positions if they are disabled (TomTom, AGT, TinyPad, etc).
Also, would it be possible to have the automount only fire if you loot certain things, like mining veins or herbs? (If it is I'll put in an official feature request, but since I have you here...) Basically, I love this for farming, but I hate when I kill a random mob that is near my herb and then I have to move before mounting. Its only a little annoyance, not a problem or anything, but I wasn't sure if there was a special function called when you loot an herb/mining node compared to a regular mob.

Edit: And I know its probably a stupid question, but you have tested it on the computer in question with no mods on at all right?

Yeah it's very odd EVMaker because your addon is the ONLY addon i have that invokes LeaveParty:
Search "LeaveParty" (4 hits in 2 files) D:\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\UsefulExtras\readme.txt (1 hits) Line 212: the auto-accepts. Added dismount and leaveparty whisper commands. Added the reload/reloadui and show tracking slash commands D:\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\UsefulExtras\UsefulExtras.lua (3 hits) Line 629: EMLChat("command: /whisper name leaveparty, dismount, or exp","chat",UE_EML) Line 1070: elseif (what == "leaveparty") and (isLeader or (isFriend and UE_Settings["UseFriends"]) or (isGuild and UE_Settings["UseGuild"])) then Line 1071: LeaveParty() |

Edit/Update: And just looked through and that is the only place. Usually hate suggesting this, but could you try a /ue reset, or preferably simply deleting any Useful Extras saved variables from your WTF folder; I don't think either should be necessary, but I'm confused on how the issue is happening in the first place, so best to start with the basics. Also, could you make sure your using the latest UE, and both it and EMLib are the only enabled mods for the computer that is leaving party when invited (I know its probably a "of course they are" but my philosophy is it's always better to be safe then sorry and double check).

Re: Following
Edit/Update: Not sure what's making it not work for you, just tested it myself with my other half's char and mine, she was using an older UE version, so I also updated hers, but a macro with "/w charname followme" worked with either version. All I can think of, is to make sure in the macro that you have it with "/w hername followme" exactly without any extra spaces etc.., and that you are either on her leaderlist, or friends/guild and she has those options toggled on in her UE (which they should be since you said it works if you whisper her yourself, which makes me think there might be an extra space somewhere in the macro). Besides that, I don't really know what might be having those macros not work for you.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Just a note
But on-topic, was it with the newest version, or one of the ones after the subzone checking (0.1.7) where you couldn't smart-mount in the landing? |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Just a note
Just downloaded the latest version again and checked out the ZonesLib.lua file. Sholazar is still spelled wrong on that version, 0.1.8. If I change the spelling, I have no problem in SB. I changed my version on the 3rd of May, when I installed it, so I haven't been having problems, but when I tried out the WI updater recently, since my version was edited, it decided I didn't have the most recent version and overwrote it with the misspelling again.
Anyways, please let me know if I'm making this up or something, but I did just download the May 3rd version, 0.1.8 on the WoWI page, looked in the ZonesLib.lua file, and 5th line from the bottom is the "c" in Sholazar that shouldn't be there. Is it that way to you EV? I have no issues with mounting after looting with looter as long as Sholazar Basin is spelled right. If its not spelled right, then when I go to mount after looting, instead of mounting a flyer I mount a ground mount every time. So you see, its not a mounting problem, but a zone problem. Why would the download that's available here still have the misspelling? Am I downloading the wrong file? English here too, no Russian localization, so when I remove the "c" in "Scholazar" from the ZonesLib.lua file, I can auto mount a flying mount in Sholazar Basin. I was just curious about the Krasus' Landing thing. I use a different mod for smart mounting, but I did your little /script in a macro and couldn't mount on the landing. Then I went into ZoneLib.lua and added ["Krasus' Landing"] = true, right after the Icecrown entry, and I could mount fine on the landing. Its not a biggie to me, and I'm no programmer as you know, so I just thought maybe my little hack was a better solution. As you say, since its a subzone, there's probably issues with my hack that I don't notice, since I don't use the /script macro. Just trying to help out. =) Do you want/need me to open a ticket? I have no issues, I was just remind you. Looter works great as long as SB is spelled right in the ZoneLib.lua.
