Antislack

Version: 1.1.5

by: Battleguard [More]

Are you in charge of a raiding guild? Tried of people not using food buffs and flasks on new bosses? Then this is the addon for you! While it won't give them the buffs, it'll show you who are not using them so you can start handing out "MINUS FIFTY DKP!" (or whatever you feel necessary). Slackers beware!

How to use:
While in a group, type /bgas or /antislack to bring up the main window. Click "Check Buffs". The addon will check if each member has a food buff, a guardian and a battle elixir (or a flask). If they don't have one, it'll be shown in red letters, otherwise the name of the buff will be displayed in green letters.
If you wish to post a list to Guild/Officer/etc chat, click Report and select the channel and what to report. You can choose to report missing food buffs, battle and/or guardian elixirs (or flasks) or those who don't have at least one elixir. Currently all in-game elixirs are included.
Happy hunting and raiding!

NEW in 1.1!
- An optional movable frame that shows you how many people lack food buffs/elixirs. Move your mouse over it and you'll see detailed information.
- Option to enable /as to access the addon (please note that it might conflict with other addons).

An optional LibDataBroker plugin is available here!

Languages currently supported:
- English (enUS and enUK)
- French (frFR, translation by Battleguard)
- German (deDE, translation by Gramma)
- Traditional Chinese (zhTW, translation by jyuny1)
If you find any translation errors or if you'd like to translate it to a different language, please post a reply or send me a PM.

Current plans:
- Being able to choose whether to include lower-level potions (currently it checks all)
If you have any other ideas, post a reply or send me a PM.

Known issues:
- When using a lower scale than 1, the frame might be a few pixels too long/short when used with certain group sizes

Found a bug? Explain it with is much possible detail as you can in a PM or a reply.

1.1.5: Fixed an error preventing the addon from loading properly.
1.1.4: Updated Chinese localization. Added Elixir of Minor Accuracy to elixir list.
1.1.3: Added LDB support.
1.1.2: Added Chinese localization. Fixed a report bug when using localizations other than enUS.
1.1.1: Fixed a nil bug triggered by updating values sometimes.
1.1: Added a status frame with tooltips. Fixed some german characters. Optional /as command. Optional autorefresh function.
1.07: Made checks faster (will break loop on match). Added support for localization. Added German language (translation by Gramma, with his permission). Added French translation (by me). Made some windows bigger to fit all languages. Fixed a bug where Elixir of Mighty Thoughts was not recognized.
1.06: Fixed check for Mighty Agility. Fixed frame size when using <1 scale. Added check for bad SavedVariables data.
1.05: Added an option to set scale. The "Report" button is now always disabled before having checked buffs at least once, as intended.
1.04: Now using class colours from FrameXML instead of guessed values. This also means that Death Knights are now coloured appropriately.
1.03: Added Wrath of the Lich King elixirs and flasks.
1.02: Fixed requiring a non-existent dependency (if you don't want to download again, remove the "Dependencies" line from the .toc file).
1.01: Fixed OnShow error (caused by a line of code I forgot to remove when I made this a stand-alone version).

acapela A Cobalt Mageweaver Forum posts: 241 File comments: 1313 Uploads: 5	apparently Anti-Slack has a dependency on something called Battleguard-Core... which is not included nor apparently available elsewhere? anyway, the mod won't load. FYI. ---- edit: yeah, i can see how this could happen. i am in the software development business... forgetting to add needed common code to a repository or distribution archive is something that happens to everyone :-). as you say, it is not easily noticed because the developer/originator can honestly say "everything works for me!". thanks for responding so quickly. as for features, i want to try the mod first... but it seems like the basic idea is a sound one. it might not need any more chrome, assuming it can spot all the buffs derived from consumables (and there are lots of other less specialized buff reminder mods out there already). something like this is unique in my experience (i don't see any obvious way to get something like SpellReminder or SmartBuff or whatever to do quite exactlty the same thing; wish i had thought of it :-), has been needed for a while, and should be quite helpful.

Battleguard A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 15 Uploads: 2	Fixed Fixed in 1.02. It was working pre-1.00 but somehow I've overwritten the files with the old ones. Terribly sorry about that... I'm working on some other projects as well at the moment and I'm using a "library" for the common functions, but there's no point in downloading a library for just one add-on (and people hate them in general), that's why I put the required functions in this one and removed the library. Looks like I missed the .toc file... Sorry again, it slipped through when I was testing (apparently, it wasn't the only add-on running). Now while we are here... if anyone has ideas of what else this should do, feel free to post. Current ideas: adding showing people's versions of required raid addons (Omen, DBM, ...)

*Kills all slackers in raid*

Features i thinking about:

- Report AFK people to the raid
- Track raiding schedule and report people being late (slackers!)
- Raid addons and versions tracker good idea indeed

I've always wanted to add an AFK tracker, but it would be quite impossible. The only way to determine that a player is AFK is checking his flags, but they're not marked AFK until 5 minutes have passed. The flags can also be turned on and off. If you want to find out who's slacking a lot, get one of those damage meters that can measure "activity". It shows you how often they use spells in combat on a 5-second basis.

Reporting those who are late should be easy to add, but where would I be getting the list of names from? Guild roster? Calendar? Textbox?

Checking raid addons was something I wanted to do in TBC, but now it's not necessary (and would be complicated to do). Now that there are at least 3 threat meters (which should be equally accurate, since threat data comes from WoW now), it would be hard to check for each one. Some might not even support version checks. Deadly Boss Mods? The new version doesn't have a version checker so the only way to check if people have it would be having this addon installed too.

Ilexandra A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 6 Uploads: 0	Window not coming up... Hi, I downloaded this mod the other day and when I tried to open it in game using /bgas or /antislack it didn't recognize the commands. I didn't get any error message or anything, I just got the standard wow message that you get when you try to enter an invalid / command. I checked to be sure it was enabled in my addons, and it was enabled... but it said it was out of date, even though I saw that on here your most recent update was 1/10/09. Is this just a problem because of the new patch or something? Any advice is welcome, I really would like to be able to nail these suckers who aren't flasking for raids. Thanks!

My first guess would be that your SavedVariables file became corrupted somehow (a WoW crash?) and the scale is not a valid number. Adding a check that resets scale to a normal value if it's abnormal.

Haven't heard about that, but if you post a link, I'll have a look.

Every pach turns off "Load out of date addons" and you probably had it on. I tend to forget to update the .toc file, will be fixed in 1.06.

Also discovered a bug with Mighty Agility potion. It was checking for "Elixir of Mighty Agility", but the buff's name is "Mighty Agility". Fixing.

Scaling didn't work for some people either, fixing that, too.

No. To be able to tell that, everyone would need to have the addon.

I'll check it out at the weekend.

Also working on a localizable version. I saw someone translated it to German, so if anyone feels like translating to any other languages, send me a tell and I'll send you a file. Basic understanding of LUA preferred.
