[Request] Guild Alert AddOn

[joshmiller83]

I am looking to see if its possible first of all and then see if there is an Author willing to tackle a hopefully smallish project/addon.

I along with several others have Chat Filtered in Tabs to make it easier to read and not have all chat in one place.

I have System Chats going to another tab and since Blizz DID NOT split Guild Logon/Logoff Alerts as well as Guild Join/Leave Messages differently than System Alerts, I miss them all.

I would like to have an Addon Filter those Specific Messages either back into a certain chat tab OR (if easier) have them appear in the Blizz Error Frame / MSBT Frames OR both! .

I would be forever grateful and happy!

This should work:

local DESTINATION = UIErrorsFrame

local ONLINE = ERR_FRIEND_ONLINE_SS:gsub("%%s", "(.+)"):gsub("[%[%]]", "%%%1")
local OFFLINE = ERR_FRIEND_OFFLINE_S:gsub("%%s", "(.+)")

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, text)
	if text:match(ONLINE) then
		DESTINATION:AddMessage(text:gsub("%[(.-)%]", "%1"), 0.3, 1, 0.3)
	elseif text:match(OFFLINE) then
		DESTINATION:AddMessage(text, .6, .6, .6)
	end
end)

Change the first line if you want to send the messages to some other chat frame, eg. ChatFrame3

Use Vlad's addon creator tool to turn the code into an addon.

This is awesome!

Is it possible to also see Guild Join and Guild Quit messages?

Thanks!

Made some changes for joined/left guild messages, and to more easily support adding more message types:

local DESTINATION = UIErrorsFrame

local messageTypes = {
	{
		-- X has come online
		pattern = ERR_FRIEND_ONLINE_SS:gsub("%%s", "(.+)"):gsub("[%[%]]", "%%%1"),
		r = 0.3, g = 1, b = 0.3,
	},
	{
		-- X has gone online
		pattern = ERR_FRIEND_OFFLINE_S:gsub("%%s", "(.+)"),
		r = 0.6, g = 0.6, b = 0.6,
	},
	{
		-- X has joined the guild
		pattern = ERR_GUILD_JOIN_S:gsub("%%s", "(.+)"),
		r = 0.3, g = 1, b = 0.3,
	},
	{
		-- X has left the guild
		pattern = ERR_GUILD_LEAVE_S:gsub("%%s", "(.+)"),
		r = 0.6, g = 0.6, b = 0.6,
	},
}

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, text)
	for i = 1, #messageTypes do
		local messageType = messageTypes[i]
		if text:match(messageType.pattern) then
			if not DESTINATION:IsMouseEnabled() then
				-- Remove link brackets if the destination frame doesn't support clicking
				text = text:gsub("%[(.-)%]", "%1")
			end
			return DESTINATION:AddMessage(text, messageType.r, messageType.g, messageType.b)
		end
	end
end)
