Heroes

Version: 0.85
by: Aerea [More]

This addon allows you to give a rating to a player, and will share this automatically with everyone on your realm.

The features

Heroes contains the following features:

  • Easily rate any player on the realm; horde or alliance
  • Synchronise your ratings with everyone on your realm
  • View people's ratings in tooltips & LFM Frame
  • Automatically scan your party/raid for low ratings!
  • Sends a notice when your addon is out-of-date
  • Various built-in protections against abuse
  • ... and more!

Remember: the more people that use this addon, the more useful the ratings are! So if you like it, share it on!

The uses

So, in which cases would this addon be useful?
  • When leading/joining a PUG-raid... just count how often you have problems with people in VoA, Naxxramas, etc.
  • When just doing easy heroics... just count how often you failed an achievement you wanted because of extremely low DPS or bad attitudes.
  • When you wonder if the person who applied to your guild is worth your time
  • If people become aware of this addon, perhaps some people will behave better towards eachother? </utopian thinking>

UPDATE: v0.72 contains a fix that applies to Horde players only. Sorry for the trouble, Hordies, you weren't able to vote in v0.71.

v0.85:
Notice: For help on fixing channels, type /hero fix
Fixed: Global channel will be joined later.
Fixed: AFK tag will not be removed over and over.
Fixed: Heroes seems to be WIM-compatible now!
Added: Reminders to rate can now be turned on/off

Notice: This version will not share data with v0.7!,
Notice: Alts will have to personally synchronise now,
Fixed: Fixed notifications for guildless people,
Fixed: Synchronise requests are now more spread out,
Fixed: Data will now only be shared on your realm,
Fixed: AFK/DND/Ignore/Faction messages are supressed,
Fixed: Inability to rate for some Horde players,
Fixed: A rare error that could occur when syncing,
Added: Search function in the database,
Added: Ratings are now split in two: Attitude & Skill,
Added: Notes can be added to ratings now!,
Added: Option for very detailed tooltips,
Added: Option for a minimap icon,
Added: New frame with player details, including notes,

Hi, I love the idea of this, much more than Karma.
However, I cant use it, see I'm a die hard Wim user :P and there is some kind of conflict between Hero's and Wim *sad panda*
No errors or anything of that nature, just cant send whispers at all. I spent 45 min going though each and every setting for Wim as well as Hero's and just couldn't find the conflict. (I'm letting Wim's author know of this as well, just as a heads up)
However disabling one or the other allows whispers to function again. Curiouser and curiouser.
Well I'm off to grind out my dailies. Ill be checking in to see if this conflict can be hurdled and get these two addon's playing nice so I can give Hero's a good workout and perhaps refer it to my guild.
Happy Gaming and thanks for all the hard work you do. ^.^

Great addon...I hope it catches on quick!

I found Karma to be kinda overkill for this idea, and grouper was okay, but a bit more troubling to remember each time. I like the reminders when folks join or leave a party...that really set it apart. My only concern will be the size of the DB at somepoint, but not really a big deal.

thanks again.


ps....I love your license!!!

Thanks a lot for the comments! I'll definitly try to add this to future versions. I agree that some players can be very rude, but still can be good players, and vice versa. It wouldn't be too hard to implement I think, also it'd be nice to see why someone gave a good/bad score.

Stay tuned for updates

I agree as well, then there could be an average score (avg of all those itegers) and a breakdown if you want to see it. This is kind of like Karma but I just can't justify using it. Too many bugs, when all I really want is the ability to rate players just like this. You might even think of adding a note field, something like maybe only 50 characters, or less. Great addon!

So I would like the rating to look something like this:

tooltip:

Toonname
<Guild>
80 Race Class

Heroes: 5 (Skill: 8, Att: 2)

I agree. Awesome idea, but having a drop down menu for Skill, and then Behavior, maybe even Politeness (haha maybe even Grammar) would make it even better. There are some players out there who are total jerks but are undeniably skilled players.

Perhaps this mod could have two dropdown menus. The first would be identical to the one it currently provides, labeled SKILL. The second would be labeled BEHAVIOR (or ATTITUDE or something similar):

0 Jerk
1 Tool
2 Annoyance
3 OK
4 Nice
5 Saint
