ServerHop

I would like to see this addon updated.

I have looked at the code but it is far too advanced for me to understand, let alone fix.

I have checked the API to see if I could build my own but I do not know where even to begin.

Took me a while but found the addon - https://legacy.curseforge.com/wow/addons/server-hop
There is also this addon: https://legacy.curseforge.com/wow/ad...alm-hop-assist
And this one is linked to the first one and has the second addons owner as maintainer. https://legacy.curseforge.com/wow/addons/filter
Both have been on Curse late last year, but neither addon has been touched since BfA's changes broke them.


Looking at the reason why it hasn't been updated before they quit Wow. It was due to the user base not liking the solution options that were being provided due to the changes given by Blizzard.

It was a fun project, but I thought that I would discontinue it when I was banned in November 2015 during WoD (not for ServerHop, but other reasons). However I was updating it from time to time using trial accounts or requesting my friends testing and it survived. Then Legion prepatch hit and broke the system. I made a whole new system, but it, well, sucked. It was good, I think, but people was used to a different things and didn't want that solution. It's really a miracle, that addon survived after 7.2.0 changes, but it did. And now another strike at 7.2.5. Slowly I lost my passion for this project with all those changes.

I feel this every expansion with nUI so I can understand his reasons for leaving it.

Looking at how it was designed to work, I personally wouldn't pick up the baton as I don't do group stuff so would have never used the addon or be able to test it.

A quick look at the issues reported in 2018, it looks like an event change/removal and perhaps users not installing the filter addon which was explained as being separated in 8.0.1 (At least I am assuming the ParseList function is in the filter addon).

Hi Xrystal

Thanks for the links, I have installed Filter but it does not fix the Server Hop addon.

I have looked at Realm Hop Assist but it does not work either, it also uses libraries which I do not understand at all.

As far as I can see, the addons use the group finder to auto-join groups and then leave the group as soon as you join them thus switching to the server of the host.
This used to happen within seconds yet I have not been able to find anything in the API that seems to help.
