Giving Up - Get $ - Addon features

[morpheusxeno]

So yep thats pretty much it. I am giving up on trying to learn lua. It takes too much of my time to try and figure out something, fix a problem or ATTEMPT to implement my fail.

There is a a great addon I found that allows you to set guild roles for players in the guild under the guild tab (J) http://www.wowinterface.com/download...uildRoles.html At one point there was going to be a feature added to broadcast the database of stored roles to other players. It was never added. This is something that I would like to see in my addon request.

I am basically just going to give money for the addon. I am done trying to code in lua. There is a good bit of features that I would like to be added into this addon and I do understand that this will require an extensive amount of time / coding.

Name your price. I will paypal you.

The addon needs to have these features

1. Roles to be broadcasted to other players using the addon. But also set roles for players that dont have the addon.
2. Guild Tracking for players using the addon. ( must show up on mini map as well as world map ) http://www.wowinterface.com/download...GuildMap3.html ( doesnt work )
3. A seperate row showing players using the addon. Would like just a small * in a seperate row.
4. Item level of players using the addon to be updated in a row.
5. A manageable statistic of players attended raids in a seperate row. ( officers and guild leader using the addon can add raids attended,raids dropped out, bad play) There is alot of explination around this for later.
6. Larger guild motd stored by the addon to be sent out and to be displayed at the top of the addon frame.
7. Record dungeon time holding for guild members as well as announce (There is alot of explination around this for later.)
8. Easy silence box for achievements, online,offline
   

I am short on time but there is other feature that I would like this addon to have.

Currently at work I will create an image with the way I would like the addon to look. I am very serious about this addon. Hours upon hours of thought have gone into it by my guild. After finding some one to take the project I would like to share contact information with you to keep in touch through out the project creation to make it perfect.

The whole data collection part is probably not that difficult to implement, sharing it is probably also pretty easy (but needs several messages to transfer notes unless they are limited in length, but I think AceComm library has that builtin?).

But I'm not very good at making UI stuff.

Yes. I need it to be effecient as possible though. I have a guild with 900 active players and we have any where from 100-250 people online at any given time. With that amount we nearly never have to look for anyone to do anything together. But trying to find people in the guild usually results in guild chat whizzing by like trade chat just before the server explodes. Having this addon for members in the guild would greatly help us out when looking for guildies and cutting down on guild spam. Some what our own raid finder with other benifits

Instead of broadcasting over the addon comm channel, you could edit the player's guild note to reflect their status, which would give you persistent storage of data and the ability to show for offline players.

You couldn't store some giant description for them, but it could tell their role and position. Just a thought.

Problem is you can end up with a lot of stuff storing data in guild notes that are either incompatible with each other or use up the severely limited space (seriously, why hasn't Blizz given us more space for guild notes?). If you use EPGP in your guild then the officer note is already reserved for that for example.

Just for information's sake - WoWInterface, as an entity, has no problem whatsoever with you (or anyone) offering to pay someone to code an addon for you. Blizzard says that addon authors can't charge for an addon [if they want it to work in WoW]. Donations are fine. Offers by users to pay someone for their time and skills to code something is fine. WoWInterface simply has to abide by Blizzard's rule. Just wanted to clear that up.

Right - someone can't write an addon and then sell it to whomever wants to use it. They can be paid for their time writing an addon for whomever commissions it, though, and then it has to be freely available to whomever wishes to use it.

[morpheusxeno]

Oh, Understandable. I thought awhile back it wasn't an approved behavior.

Is the bounty not high enough?
