Ara Broker Guild Friends

Version: r97

by: Aranarth, MysticalOS

A Data Broker plugin that provides 2 blocks: one for guildmates & one for friends. These blocks show informative and interactive clickable tooltips. It's fast and lightweight.

Informations/screenshots are not up-to-date (and it's boring to do ).

It has the following functionalities on entries
- click guildmates or friends to whisp them.
- alt+click guildmates or friends to invite them.
- control+click friends to edit note.
- if you're an officier, you can control+click guildmates to edit their public note, and control+right click to edit officer's note.
- right click guildmates to sort the closest column.
- if you're an officer, you can click the MOTD to edit.
- middle click on friends to remove from friend list.
- control+mousewheel to resize tooltip.

And the following functionalities on blocks
- control+click to toggle hints so you don't have to remember all this crap.
- left click on guild block to toggle guild panel
- right click on guild block to toggle the guild notes column.
- shift+click on guild block to toggle guild name.
- left click on friend block to toggle friend panel.
- shift+right click on blocks to toggle total number of guildmates or friends.
- middle click on friend block to show the "add a friend" dialog box.

It shows
- check marks for grouped guildmates and friends.
- class icon (mainly to provide a column to sort) when not grouped.
- class colored names.
- level colored in grey, green, yellow, orange or red depending of your own level.
- zone colored in green, yellow or red depending of faction.
- public notes (and officer notes for guildmates if you have the rights).
- rank for guildmates.

If you have AddonLoader, the loading of this addon will be delayed.
If you have Skinner, this addon will be automatically skinned.

Removed all 4.x compatability code.
r49
Handle the name&surname being merged into one arg in MoP as well so we don't include battletags (as last names) on friends broker. It'll behave as it does on live and work as intended now.
r48
- Update apis for broadcast messages and battletags for MoP beta. Friends broker should once again work on beta while continuing to work on live.

- Added an option to hide your own broadcast.
- Added an option to use TipTac skin (requires TipTac).

- Added an option to highlight the level 1 column. You can also edit the highlight color.
- Separated Hints and Block Hints visibility option (Block Hints set to visible by default).

- Fixed an issue where guildmates were shown instead of friends.

r23
- Now fully functionnal in combat (yay!).

r22
- Removed localization file, now using LOCALIZED_CLASS_NAMES_MALE and LOCALIZED_CLASS_NAMES_FEMALE global tables (added in WoW 3.2). Delete the previous folder before extracting this version or you will end up with a dead file.
- Fixed a rare and weird issue (hopefully).

r21
- Added Control+MouseWheel to resize tooltip (experimental).
- Optimized implementation of the scrollbar: move lines instead of redrawing the entire tooltip.
- Fixed a possible appearance of the scrollbar when it is not wanted.
- Changed the maximum number of entries shown to something adapted to your UI scale and options.

r20
- Added a scrollbar for large guilds and/or friendlist. Use the mousewheel anywhere on the tooltip to scroll easily. (Credit goes to Tekkub for his "FauxScrollFrame" implementation ;))

r14
- Fixed the possible leading space to the right of the tooltip when in group.
- Fixed the ruRU translation of Death Knight.
- Changed how to inherit fonts. Font addons will be able to dynamically modify them.

r13

Your error looks identical to Jzar's report just before yours. Do you have friends in the SC2 beta too?

I do, but none have been online. R29 is still bugged with the friends frame beeing to short. Looks so me like, if you have more than one friend online it uses the last on the list to allign the width of the drop down friends list or maybe just the line that is shortest.

So hopefully I will be able to release something in a day or 2. It will depends on how long they will stay connected so I can debug to my heart's content. EDIT: shrinked box fixed in next release.

vncsoliveira A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	RealID broadcast message First off: Great addon Ara! I use all the others 'Ara' brokers I was just waiting on that one have updated to RealID things. Thank you! Not sure if it is happening to someone else but yesterday I had an 'issue': a friend have set a really, really long broadcast message, something like 200+ characters, then my tooltip started to take about 80% of my screen width while he was online. If it's a common issue, could you please consider to wrap the RealID broadcast message in more than one line, or maybe just cut it to a reasonable width?

The idea is to show a side tooltip with extra informations (broadcasts would go there) when you hover a real friend. @Froagh: Fixed ! EDIT: if you get "guid update" and "friend update" messages, please re-download (I made a silent update ). Last edited by Aranarth : 07-15-10 at 01:39 PM.

I received this error while my cursor was over the tooltip and a RealID friend was logging.

BTW, while you're adding coloring options, can you give us one for the status text that is prepended to non-RealID character names?

Example:
<Away> Charactername

nebula A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 16 File comments: 72 Uploads: 18	Hello! Few quick suggestions: Drop the client icon for wow and use the sc2 icon as their "class" when the client is sc2. They just look messy as is, the sc2 and wow data don't align very well. I'm not a big fan of the two line friend's list ;[ Ultimately, I would find it best if you could hide their real name (or follow the char name in parens, reverse of the FriendsFrame), have their status follow the old behavior (<Away>/<Busy> in front of character name), and have the broadcast text where notes use to be. Or! If nothing else, add a bit of space between entries Consolidate the server and zone name columns, if you're on different realms use gameText (or your own fancy realmName - zoneName) with the faction icon before it. I've also noticed (like other posters) sometimes BNGetFriendInfo returns nil for everything after the first three return values (as they're logging in or out it seems). I had SetToastData return nil when this happens then skip over it in UpdateTablet, but I never paid attention to if BN_FRIEND_INFO_CHANGED gets fired multiple times as the info becomes available. Seemed to work fine >.> Think that's about it. Like the new look of the tooltips, keep up the good work! Edit: Just read what you said about a one line friend's list with embedded tooltips. My suggestion is to keep it simple. You may as well just use the default ui to view friend info if you start nesting info, imo. Also as a programming aside, I don't mean to poke, but dropping parens on function calls looks silly mixed with non-string and multi-argument function calls D: Inconsistency hurts me and just had to say something, lol Last edited by nebula : 07-16-10 at 01:49 AM.

Now, on my Officier Char i dont want to see the Officiernotes because it is uninteresting to see when the Char was Invited. What do i have to change in the LUA File ? Hidiho Althena of Wrathbringer. PS: Ideas for further Versions. Make a Menu to set every colum right/center/left. Make Notes and Officiernotes to 2 extra Colums. __________________

Fixed !

EDIT: if you get "guid update" and "friend update" messages, please re-download (I made a silent update ).

Awesome! Works great! Always trying to get my friends and guildies to use this.

So I scrap the real name but provide an option to append it to the toon name (or prepend, or replace) ? Is it better to use status text or icon ? For the sack of normalization, it will be applied to guildmates, friends and real friends. About the code: I find amusing the syntax allows not to use parens with a string argument. It's funny you feel crazy about this tiny thing when, most of the time, other coders tell me they hate how compact (hard to read) my code is. You don't like the side tooltip idea ? Most ppl want maximum informations, and to display real friend informations in 1 line, I think I will have to move some. Also what about the "issue" vncsoliveira reported ? Broadcasts can be very long. At some point, I wondered if it wouldn't be better to add an extra line if there's a broadcast to display. What about notes on real friends ? I scrap it ? Besides, making notes on real friends seems bugged. Once, I added a note on a real friend, then he logged onto another toon and my note was gone. And it seems notes are not toon based, but real ID based. @ForeverTheGM: Coloring status text is a good idea, but what about an icon instead of text ? Next to class icon ? @Ash-rak: To get rid of officer notes, search for: Code: local name, rank, _, level, class, zone, note, offnote, connected, status = GetGuildRosterInfo(i) And add this line below: Code: offnote = "" Column alignment is on my TODO list. I need to work on the idea, but I feel lazy ATM. About the notes/officer notes on 2 columns, I will add it to the bottom of my TODO list.

An icon is fine. I don't care either way.

Thanks for responding, never know if I'll be met with ire or not, lol.

Wouldn't it be confusing to mix class and client icons ?

If you see a WoW class icon, you know it's WoW, otherwise it's the game the person is playing, I don't think it would be confusing.

So I scrap the real name but provide an option to append it to the toon name (or prepend, or replace) ?

What I was thinking for the one line would be something like this:

wow: [class icon] [status icon] [Character (Real Name)] [level] [faction icon] [realm (if different) - zone] [broadcast (truncate at 30 or so chars?)]
sc2: [client icon] [status icon] [User (Real Name)] [gameText] [broadcast]

Is it better to use status text or icon ?

For simplicity sake I just suggested using <Away>/<Busy> but dropping the green online icon and showing the orange/red status icons instead of using text would be cool.

You don't like the side tooltip idea ?

Personally, I just use the display to quickly see who is online and what they're doing. The idea of indicating a broadcast is set and putting that in it's own tooltip sounds fine, but nesting any of the other character info would be annoying to me.

What about notes on real friends ?

Same with notes! I never use them so I'm inclined to say just hide or nest them like you would a long broadcast message.

It's funny you feel crazy about this tiny thing when, most of the time, other coders tell me they hate how compact (hard to read) my code is.

I come from a c and perl background, so compact doesn't bother me, lol. I am pretty OCD, though, and tend to start rewriting code if I look at it ;[

I think the RealID friends should keep their distinctive formatting. They are separate from normal friends and they should be treated as such.

The whole point of the broadcast is for them to TELL YOU what they are up to. This is still a new feature though, so I doubt many people are actually using it for its intended purpose at this point in time.
