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)

That said, I am going to be renewing today, and start getting Looter and UE updated for any breaks that have happened starting with this one. I'm going to need to go through all the changes like that with a fine tooth comb, but in that case I haven't used AddonMessage as my addons don't talk to eachother or directly to addons of another person, the communication is done by normal whispers. So the likely place it is breaking due to those changes is in SendChatMessage in the EMLib part of UE. If you do still use or wish to use UE I'll leave another comment when it is updated, again sorry for the long disappearance with no fixes or updates. |

This addon was broken in the latest patch. Discussion on undocumented changes are at:
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/11764946863 http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/11765846889 Basically, if there's any chance you can help me, I need to ambiguate the sender using the code: Code:
sender = Ambiguate(sender, "none") Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Focus scripts that work cross realm
Follow:
/run local n,r=UnitName"focus"n=n and n..(r and"-"..r or"")or""SendChatMessage("followme","WHISPER",nil,n) Flying Mount: /run local n,r=UnitName"focus"n=n and n..(r and"-"..r or"")or""SendChatMessage("mountair","WHISPER",nil,n) Ground Mount: /run local n,r=UnitName"focus"n=n and n..(r and"-"..r or"")or""SendChatMessage("mountground","WHISPER",nil,n) Dismount: /run local n,r=UnitName"focus"n=n and n..(r and"-"..r or"")or""SendChatMessage("dismount","WHISPER",nil,n) Just remember to add character-servername (example: bambi-thrall) to the leader list.

As to the party part, that should be pretty simple actually, the API will let me determine who a party member is and do what is asked easy enough. The question becomes what would be the better way to implement it, such as: 1) Party members can do UE supported commands, and if they pass the usual requirements (they are in your leader list, or they are a guildmate/on your friends list and you have either of those options on) then the commands work, however if you have 'allow party' checked then anyone regardless of the usual requirements that is in the same party can do them or 2) 'allow party' works same as 'allow guild'/'allow friends' in that if it is not checked, party is completely ignored, it if is checked then if they fit the the normal requirements they can do the commands. Edit: Option 2 would probably be better as it would only be paying attention to party chat (code wise) when the checkbox is checked, but it shouldn't make any real impact if using Option 1, so it really is what option would people prefer.

/run local n,r=UnitName"mouseover"n=n and n..(r and"-"..r or"")or""SendChatMessage("followme","WHISPER",nil,n) Going to try to figure out if it works with just your addon and that mouseover or if it's some other addon that's allowing it. Will report back later today. Ideally, there would also be an option to send the tell to party and have them all follow (I usually dual box but sometimes triple or quadbox /shudder) - but again, I have no clue what's a trivial addition lua-wise so my apologies if I did the coding equivalent of asking for a (unicorn) pony. Thanks again! |

As to the other part, it 'should' be possible, I don't see a reason I couldn't get it to work, it will just involve some tinkering around to get it too. The main issue involved is the 'permissions' per se, getting the realID names to work was an issue because they changed names (so instead of "Character" the name is now "Insert-Your-RealName-Here"), and getting to use blizzard's new API for the realID stuff. Cross-realm would be along the same lines, instead of just Character it's going to be Character-Realm or the like, it should be possible, just a matter of getting it to recognize and work with it. That said, I haven't had an active subscription much since they added the whole CRZ bit, and I don't know anyone from a different realm to test it with, I don't know if the two servers I currently have chars on will be able to see each other to test it, but I'll test things out when I get home and make some new characters on different servers if I need too. |

Welcome back, and thank you so much! PM'd you a list of missing mounts. One request (don't know how ugly a task this is): Could you/would it be possible to make this work cross realm?
I want the Thundering Serpent Hatchling and will never get it on my regular realm/guild. I WAS able to find an awesome guild that was letting people join to earn guild rep for the pet via WarcraftPets.com, but it's on a PvP server, and I've seen, done it, have the bloody, rended armor (and psyche) from the PvP leveling experience (that's how I started WoW back in Vanilla). Made it to my mid-40s and server transferred. lol I've heard it's only gotten worse thanks to CRZ since people can swarm in, gank you, and then fly safely out of the CRZ. Was trying to use UE to multibox and dual-level two alts (one toon from my main pve realm/one from the pvp realm) to use pain in the buns CRZ to my advantage for a change, but your addon (and all the others I tried) won't work. I'm hoping it's relatively straightforward to do and people just didn't see a need. I can whisper the commands using "charactername-server" and they receive it, but it doesn't do anything. Thanks again for updating this, and thanks for your consideration of my request!

Looter and Useful Extras have been updated here and on Curse, if you have any issues feel free to let me know, preferably via a feature request or bug report on the portal, but a comment here or private message on WoWI would also work.
I know there are a good number of new mounts that may not be recognized currently, I'm in the process of getting them added and should have another release out in a couple days with them. Like I noted in the changelog if you wish you can leave a comment here or message me on WoWI with any mount names & ID's you find missing (by typing /ue list mounts in game, it will tell you which ones aren't in yet). |

That said, I know both Looter and UE at least (haven't noticed any glaring issues with XPGain or SkillsPayBills so far) have a number of bugs that need squashing now after 5.0.4, and I am already subscribed and working on them (and plan to keep playing besides just the bug fixing to boot). Thanks for the report on those, I have those both on to the todo list, on the first the settings are still saved (if you close the window with the close box on the top or the cancel button and reopen the window the previous settings will be checked again) but the initial load doesn't set them like it should be doing.

Is this addon dead or has it simply not been updated because nothing has previously broken?
With patch 5.0.4, Useful extras will no longer save settings (turns itself completely off) and configuration window is toxic lime green.
