Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When a guild member log in, the icon shape and color are intuitive and easy to recognize.
But when online friends log in, nothing changes.
I want my online friends to be intuitively visible in the chat window when they are online & offline.
In MerathilisUI version 5.1x,
L["ERR_FRIEND_ONLINE"] = "has come |cff298F00online|r."
L["ERR_FRIEND_OFFLINE"] = "has gone |cffff0000offline|r."
L["BN_INLINE_TOAST_FRIEND_ONLINE"] = " has come |cff298F00online|r."
L["BN_INLINE_TOAST_FRIEND_OFFLINE"] = " has gone |cffff0000offline|r.."
These commands changed the color of the chat window. As the version was upgraded, these disappeared.
But I can't forget MerathilisUI when it had these features. It was very useful for me.
It would be nice if it could be seen intuitively when a battl.net friend accesses, just like when a guild member accesses.
- Yes. I can see a green icon in front of my friends battle tag.
- Personally, I liked the way it was displayed up until the last MerathilisUI 5.26 version, because it was simple.
Now that the code has changed a lot, is it impossible to make it look the way it used to?
@Merathilis
Thank you so much for adding the function I requested so quickly.
I downloaded the development version and checked out the features.
Message delay occurs as shown in the screenshot.
There is a delay when my friend is online or offline. Sometimes there is no delay.
There was no delay when the guild member accessed or exited.
@Merathilis
sorry. I was in too much of a hurry.
Thank you for always.
- The icon not be rendered?
- Currently there are two types alert: guild member alert and bnet friend alert. Because of the guild member message also have been enhanced, so I disabled the alert that the player is in your guild to avoid duplicated showing. The BNet friend status changed event which is sent from Blizzard is always a little bit delayed. There is no better solution now.
also @ILIKECHICKENTOOMUCH please join for an conversation my discord and don't hijack this ticket tracker ;)
@ILIKECHICKENTOOMUCH
The code is completely rewritten.
Actually, the alert about blizzard is really different:
before
- Blizzard friend goes online.
- Blizzard send this to game chat, Mera's stuff enhances the message in chat
- Blizzard friend's WoW character goes online message.
- No this feature
now
- Blizzard friend goes online.
- Blizzard send this to game chat, no more enhancement now
- Blizzard friend's WoW character goes online
- The addon check the Blizzard's information when Blizzard told addon that the Blizzard friend's status has been changed.
- If the status not same with cache, the addon will generate a message and send it to chat.
