flagRSP MoP is an add-on that allows you to set a title, first name, and last name as well as setting a character status and a roleplaying flag. Other users of this add-on will be able to see these flags and you will be able to see theirs. This is mainly useful for RP servers, but there's nothing preventing you from using this on servers of other types. Feel free to report any bugs or request features here.
flagRSP MoP (formerly known as flagRSP BC, flagRSP WotLK, and flagRSP Cataclysm) is the original flagRSP add-on updated and enhanced for the World of Warcraft 5.0 patch. This continued version bases on the work done by Flokru and Adriathys. Since both authors have abandoned the project I picked up the code and fixed some open bugs.
Please note that flagRSP MoP will make changes to your tooltips. This may conflict with other addons that manipulate the tooltip. If this occurs, you can turn tooltip alteration off and won't run into any trouble.
Version information for v1.2.2 (compatible to WoW 5.2)
As always with a new version it's a very good idea to make an update of your flagrsp files ("YourWowDirectory/WTF/Account/YourAccountName/SavedVariables/flagRSP.lua" and "YourWowDirectory/WTF/Account/YourAccountName/CharacterName/SavedVariables/flagRSP.lua" for each character). Just rename them (for example to flagRSPbak.lua) or copy them somewhere else (or zip them).
The friendlist is going to be changed in 1.2.2. So when you log in, the names in the Friendlist will look like "Sye (Syeira) Ravenwing". The rp name is now handled completely independent from the ingame name. That means, the ingamename must be exactly the name of the character ingame or the charname-servername (without spaces) for people from other servers. But the rp name you can just change to what you want.
The good news is, that this change in the friendlist structure allows you to create flags for people without any flagaddon - or even for people from CROSSREALMS!

@Deantwo:
Yes, this is a known bug. I hope I can supply a new version this weekend. You don’t have to be afraid of losing any character memos. It’s only the scroll bar that isn’t working anymore. I’ve seen this error in other addons as well; Blizzard must have changed something in scroll bars’ behavior. Unfortunately, I haven’t put enough characters on my friend list so that scrolling became necessary while testing on the PTRs, so this bug remained undetected. It's nice to read that others have such huge friend lists with hundreds of notes as well. I’ve used this feature myself intensively in the past, so it’s in my own interest to fix this as soon as possible. Editing your notes offline is possible. You can open flagrsp’s LUA files directly with any editor and change text in there. You’ll find your notes in \WTF\account\<account>\<realm>\<character>\Saved Variables\friendlist.lua. Nevertheless, editing this file manually can stop flagRSP from working correctly if anything gets messed up!

can't scroll up and down on friend list
well... thank you for starting up our beloved RP AddOn again
but... i can't scroll on the friend list... meaning... i can't see over half of all my entries... and i have many... i have made notes about every person i have met in the game since i started on the server... note about where i met them and who they are... it's wonderful to be about to meet someone that you don't remember at all and then you can just look up the notes and read about who it is and how you know them... (ok i think i side tracked there) well... i can't scroll up and down... but i can sort them by name and whatever so i can see a few of them... but i can only see the top ones... like if i sort by Player Name i can only see the top few entries that start with A... Error code Code:
Interface\FrameXML\UIPanelTemplates.lua:230: attenpt to index local 'self' (a number value) also... is there anyway to read your entries out of the game?... is the LUA files readable? or can someone make a little program so we can edit the entries when we aren't in the game? would also make it easier to make backups... maybe something that could just save them as a .txt file?

@Azureglade:
Hm, strange thing. Do you get any error messages? This may sound like one of those Blizzard community guys speaking: Please rename your WTF folder temporarily, start WoW and try again. @tareon: Have a look at Sec's post from 09-27-2008, topic #1 and my follow-up answer. Is that what you want? It is on the todo list. @orionshock: I do not intend to change the protocol. Why should we break something that is working well? This is about finding a suitable transportation layer. |

re: Comms stuff
@Typhix
Hi, author of IRolePlay among others. There is one last point i want to bring up with you. The comms protocol in general. I would thing that there is at least motivation to improve on that rather than use archaic xml tags? with many changed in a lot of things i think it's time to revisit some of these methods. I've done a lot of work with synch methods and the such, I'd recommend you check out the comms methods in Guild Craft, as hosted here or on curse, and see if you'd be willing to work with something of that sort. While THAT particular addon doesn't use chat comms, IRP does as hosted on my Google code @ http://code.google.com/p/shock-wow/s...runk/IRolePlay Something to think about. |

Btw. the only feature I'm missing from FlagRSP2 is the the "RP-Status"-Switch within the config. Any chance of getting something like this implemented? |

@Azureglade:
Please deactivate all addons but flagRSP and its loader. Is the interface still inaccessible? @SendAddOnMessage topic: The new (well, actually they aren’t really new anymore) addon channels are great for most addon purposes. But I'm still not sure if they can handle the needs of our flag tools. xtensionxtooltip2's greatest advantage is that it is readable immediately by everyone. Currently someone requests your character information und flagRSP answers this (once in a 5 minute timeframe). This response is read by every client that is currently connected to xtensionxtooltip2. One broadcast, everyone has the information. SendAddOnMessage only allows communication with a small group of people. The only way to broadcast your character description via addon channels is whispering everyone near you as they won’t necessarily be in your guild/party/etc. Now imagine roleplaying events with 100 participants. Each flag user would have to get in contact with every single other one. Phew. Takes time and an immense amount of data traffic. Sec, I don’t know exactly what your posted quote means, but it sounds to me like the thing our flag tools already do: using chat channels to provide information.

I've been unable to access the interface, or whatever the place where you input all the stuff such as your description and which flags you want to use, since the Wrath patch. I can still see my own and other people's descriptions, so at least part of the addon still works for me.

Currently, text can be sent through: "PARTY", "RAID", "GUILD", "BATTLEGROUND". As of 2.1, "WHISPER". (WoWWiki) I'm not sure if there is any way to cap the frequency of data sent, in order to prevent a player from getting spammed and have (insert bad thing here) happen. I will say that there may still be another method of data communication, as author OrionShock did start a roleplay addon project (yet has stopped development). From reading the Communications.lua file, I see the following comment:
Although I was (and still am) keen about contributing user feedback, I find myself at an impasse regarding this issue. It seems that this issue needs to be either tested through implementation or put to an end. I'd be more than happy to test changes and provide feedback, but that is all I can do. So depending on responses (if any), I'll be turning my attention to ideas for a roleplay addon that will never come into existence. I sincerely wish the best to you roleplay addon authors, as you do a great favor to the average roleplayer. |

Thank you!
Thank goodness flagRSP is finally being continued!!!
I've used flagRSP BC for a long time. Out of all the rp mods out there, it's the only one I've found with both a friendlist and tooltips that don't conflict with my other mods. But the afk detection spamming and filling up the buffer in my chatlog has tempted me on more than one occasion to deactivate it. I'm overjoyed to see that this has been fixed, plus I'm excited about what the future of this mod will hold. Thanks again and keep up the good work! |
