AutoRespond
 

Hey there!

Long long ago I used this addon: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...toRespond.html

It allowed the user to automatically respond to given keywords. Sadly it was not updated for ages.

Does anyone know if there is a working plugin out there that does the same? Or would anyone be willing to pick up the long broken plugin and update it again?

What exactly is broken? I don't think anything has changed with the chat message API in many years...

The entire addon? Sorry, not sure what exactly broke I am not an addon expert. I can only tell you that it isnt working anymore, and hasnt for years.

Do you get any Lua errors? Make sure you have them enabled in the Interface menu. An error AddOn like Swatter (included with Auctioneer) or BugSack will show you more errors than the default UI.

Here we go:

There is 23 more, do I need at add them all?

As far as I can remember the addon is broken since WotLK was released, back in BC I saw many people using it.

Haha, well, that would have been good info to open with, since the set of possible causes for "broke when WotLK was released" is completely different than the set of possible causes for "broke when 6.0 went live".

This thread has some info on how to update addons for the removal of global "this" etc. arguments:
http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=34866

I have enough work to do with my own addons, though, so I really don't have time to fix up some random 5-year-old addon for you right now. Maybe someone else can help if you're not able to do the fixes yourself, or find a more up-to-date addon.

Thanks for the link, but sadly that already goes beyond my abilities. As I said i am not an addon expert, I also thing it wouldnt be optimal if i just manage to fix it for myself every time.

I do understand that you don't have the time for that of course, lets hope someone who does have the time sees this thread. :)

I'd love to see this continued or remade by someone who knows what he is doing, so that it can be used by anyone again.

That addon seems cool! :O Wish I would've known it existed. I'd totally use it as a crafting barker addon. Whisper me <keyword> + name for price quotes.
