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Sends a notice when your addon is out-of-date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

v0.84-:

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,
Update: Updated options UI to be easier to understand,
Update: Synchronising should go faster now,
Update: A lot of code optimizations done,

Fix: tiny typo in the whisper fixed :)

Can't wait for the next version *push*
Anyways, I noticed a bug - I got someone in my data called "Reis". Now, when I mouse-over a player called "Reisa" it shows the score of Reis, rather than int's own!

Agreed. I'd like to have these globally available to all chars on my account

It won't delete anything really, it's an empty threat :P but I don't want people peeking in the code and trying to cheat their ratings up. Why bother looking in LUA code as average user anyway?

Interesting code comments

-- Thinking of the American way of voting by adding people that don't exist to your name?
-- This addon will then destroy your items and quit/disband your guild, kicking as many people as possible.
-- That's the consequence of cheating.
--
-- Hi, btw <3. Thanks for using Heroes, but now f*ck off out of my code.
--

-- NO PEEKSIES BEYOND THIS POINT. [followed by some crude ASCII art of a middle finger]

Interesting code comments...

However disabling one or the other allows whispers to function again. Curiouser and curiouser.

I tried finding the cause of this and downloaded the latest WIM, but it seems to work (now anyway). I did make some changes in Heroes' behaviour that may have caused it to work in v0.85 (release is pending). Could you try v0.85 when it's active on WoWInterface, please? It may not work in v0.84 yet, not entirely sure...

I'm using plenty of Ace3-based addons. Shouldn't that be enough to make the addon work as intended, or do I really need to install Ace3 itself?

Some addons have embedded parts of the Ace3 libs, but I chose not to do this, because generally having a lot of addons embedd libs means you have a lot of garbage (multiple copies of the same lib). I would recommend downloading v0.84 and Ace3

First off: I like the AddOn so far, only problems are:
The WIM thing (But I guess you're already lookin into that)
The ChatChannel. It always uses /1. So the General Chat moves to /2, Tradechannel to /3 and so on.
Call me unflexible, but I keep writing into the HeroesChannel by accident, because I think I'd write in General.

Is this a known fact? Can I do something against that on my own?
If not, could you look into it? Pleaaaase?

Thanks for your comment

I'll look into this as well.

A temporary fix could be as follows: Generally, it should delay 1 min with joining the heroes channel, what you can try is /leave 1, /leave 2, /leave 3, and then /join general, /join trade, and then as last, /join heroesglobal. It should then be the last channel, rather than /1.

I'll try to fix this so it does this anyway in the new version

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. ^.^

Heya! Thanks for your message. I'm gonna download WIM (I used to use it too!) and try to find the bug asap. It's probably somewhere in Heroes... I'll let you know when I find out!

I do set a filter on outgoing chats somewhere, maybe that's the issue. I think the whispers will arrive in either case btw, just not show up in your frame, but I'll reply here as soon as I find out the cause/fix

Thanks for the comments <3
