GuildGreet Extended

I don't play WoW since reales of Shadowland, so a lot is needed to update. Any help is welcome :)

This Addon was originally written by Greya, his last release was 0.52. I had contributed to the German localisation of that version. Greya has not updated this addon for WoW 2.0.1 (TBC)

Mordikaiin and Rozak took over the addon and modified the interface for 11000, his first version was 0.52b and he consequently released v2.2 which was adapted to the LUA changes Blizzard implemented with patch 2.0.1.

I had already extended the original GuildGreet but never submitted those to Greya. I copied them over to the new v2.2 and added some features. I sent my extensions to v2.2 to Mordikaiin but didn't get a reply for quite some time. I therefore decided to upload my extension to curse independently. I got a reply from Mordikaiin and he is happy for me to take over the addon as he is short on time anyway.

This extension includes all features of the base version (v2.2).

In addition, it includes an option (which can be enabled/disabled in the configuration frame) to print all alt chars and the main char of the person that logged in to the chat frame. I added this feature because while GuildGreet helped me to properly greet people, I found it very hard to keep track of who was who later during playing and seeing people in guild chat, not being certain who they were. By printing this line, I regularly see which characters belong to the same player (whenever they log in) and could therefore learn to know who is who better.

As we wanted to keep a list of the main chars and all their alts on our guild web page as well, I added the options to list them not only at the time of logging in but also from a slash command. The following commands are supported:

/gg guild [show] This lists the main and alt chars of all people in the guild who are currently logged in /gg guild all This lists the main and alt chars of the whole guild, no matter whether they are currently online or offline /gg guild list This opens a list frame into which the output of /gg guild all is listed. From here you can select the text and copy it to some other place using Ctrl-C. /gg [show] This prints the main and alt chars for the given character name. /gg full This prints the main and alt chars for the given character name including all level and class infos.

The following is a sample output line: /gg Urbin GuildGreet: Sunh [Urbin: Hunter, 70] Juran Mymule

/gg Sunh
GuildGreet: (Sunh: Priest, 65) [Urbin] Juran Mymule

The character name in square brackets is the main char, the others are alt chars. The name in round braces is the name passed as argument if it's not the main name. If one of the chars is currently online, its name will be printed in a different colour.

For normal features, please refer to the Readme block below (for Greya's 0.52 version)

I have added tentative friend support (very untested). There is a new tab in the configuration dialog to assign main and alt chars just like for guild members. The following commands work similar as the guild variants: /gg friends [show] Lists main and alts of friends that are online /gg friends all Lists main and alts of all friends /gg friends list Show copy-pastable list of all friends

Many guilds that have co-operations with other guilds have a common user channel. I added support for such a channel to 20100.4, you can enable this in the "General" tab and define the channel name to use. You must join the channel before you can enter it in the configuration. The channel members (except for guild members) will be managed in a separate list and their own tab.

/gg channel [show] Lists main and alts of channel members that are online /gg channel all Lists main and alts of all channel members /gg channel list Show copy-pastable list of all channel members

Scan the guild roster player notes for a standard alt notation in order to Auto-config Guild Greet and, optionally, maintain the alt/main associations.

For example, I have my main Jimbob and alts Joebob and Bobbob:

My roster note for my main, Jimbob, says "Main". My roster note for Joebob and Bobbob says "alt-Jimbob"

The above was a feature of an addon called AltMinder that I've been trying to maintain for my guild, but I am not a LUA coder. I used to use Guild Greet's main/alt mapping until I had to reset my addons one day, then realized I'd have to do it for our 400+ guild members again. So now I just use it for the login and leveling notifications.

Another case for doing this is that WoWroster can scan those roster notes as well to make the same determination of alt/main associations. If a consistent format is followed, it would work for those using WoWroster as well.

If this feature is enabled (checkbox on general tab) AND no manual main/alt information has yet been added, then the guild note and officer note will be parsed.

The following keywords will be understood:

"Main[ ]" It is important to note that if follows, there must be a space after the "Main" keyword. Any other text will be discarded. --> this marks the character with this guild note as a "main" char

"alt-

In your greet/congratulation messages you can use flexible codes %c = char name %n = name as used today (depending on settings) = %s in old format %a = alias %m = main if available, %c else %A = main alias if available, %m else if available, %c else %l = level if available, empty else %C = class if available, empty else %r = rankname if available, rank number else if available, empty else %v = achievment if available, empty else %g = guild alias if available, else guild if available, else empty %G = guild name if available, else empty (suggested by Sentinelum, Keith, AcmeHeroesInc and lebanoncyberspace) The old %s entries still work (i.e. the extension is backwards compatible to the old greetings you probably have stored)

Also use levels:##:## or time:##.##:##.## to limit a greeting to a certain level range or time frame. Combinations of and are allowed.

There are two key bindings that can be used to send a greeting to your guild chat and your selected channel and to say goodbye to the two channels. You can also greet selectively using slash commands. You can configure a guild name alias which can be used in the guild greetings instead of the full guild name.

/gg greet guild Sends a greeting to the guild chat /gg greet channel Sends a greeting to the channel /gg greet all Sends a greeting to both the guild chat and the channel

/gg bye guild Says goodbye to the guild chat /gg bye channel Says goodbye to the channel /gg bye all Says goodbye to both the build chat and the channel

/gg later guild Says goodbye to the guild chat (intending to come back) /gg later channel Says goodbye to the channel (intending to come back) /gg later all Says goodbye to both the build chat and the channel (intending to come back)

If a category (log-in, relog, joining of guild, level up, guild rank promotion) has no greetings defined, a character will not be placed in the greet list upon a corresponding event. However, you might want to supress a certain category without deleting all its greetings. This is now possible in the Settings->Greeting dialog, where you can supress the corresponding events for each category (meaning a player who levels up will not be placed in the greet list if the level-up category is being suppressed)

If your guild mates coming online and going offline are not detected, check the advanced interface options and make sure the "Guild member alert" setting in the chat section is enabled.

This addon was started based on an idea from Skint on Bloodhoof (EU) by Greya ([email protected]) and then taken over by Mordikaiin and Rozak of Dragonblight (US) ([email protected]). Since then taken over and extended by Urbin on Dun Morogh (EU) Code for level dependent message filtering was submitted by lebanoncyberspace

See todo.lua for a fairly readble version, or check the Information tab in game.

• option to suppress original login/logoff messages (requested by AZMAK)

-- detect if officer note contains "

Mind you, I have a bit of work to do on my own because I got a bunch of officers
who use "Alt" vs "alt" a lot, and the code is case sensitive. If there's a away
that strfind and sub can be made to be case irrelevant, then it'd make life easier.

• I just noticed that the key-bindings for "later guild and "goodnight guild" in the keybindings area isn't working for me. When I use the keybindings, nothing happens and I do have messages created for those. (reported by AZMAK)

• (kusinagii) Anyway my question is this: I use the GG's notes to keep track of join dates, promotions and whose (using their main) invited them. But after I promoted them I go through and parse the notes of the Promotion dates and add a letter (x) that lets me know when i scan over that they've been promoted and are now on a different type of promotion status. a guild note would look like this: P01B23feb (recruiter) then change to this after the first rolled around: x23feb (recruiter)

  Basically what I want to know is, is there a way to change your gg notes through some /gg setnote note or some variation, I've tried a few but am not sure what it might be if it exists, I'm not LUA savi so I'm not sure what to search for. or... would it be feasible for me to update gg notes in the GuildGreet.lua file? But I would be perfectly content with a /gg setnote thing so i could update via macro.
