OK, exact steps we've done:

He was with BossWhisperer addon installed but had not figured out how to configure it -- no slash command. Then i went here and saw 'just go /dnd and you're set'. And i told him, he went /dnd and out of combat, there were no replies -- as expected.

So we pulled Vashj and i immediately whisped him and got a 'we're on a fight' message. That's good, addon was working as expected. And i told him on custom chat channel "hey addon works. whisp yourself to see it in action", and he did. But then i have not saw exactly what happened, he just told me a few seconds "lol i was being flooded by addon, had to take off /dnd to stop it". And after boss died, i got an automatic whisp from him "Vashj died after X minutes".

Then we went to Kazzak -- free loots and easy gold ^^ -- he was back on /dnd, and i whispered him again after we engaged Kazzak. Got no reply, as if addon was disabled.

My GF ignored me yesterday when she was in SSC, cause Bosswhisperer was in the addon package she copied from me so I "touched it" ;)

Sent it to the SVN with a new name though as I didn't want people using BossWhisperer to suddenly think it broke or something.

BossWhisperer2: Slightly modified version of Rabbit's BossWhisperer.

- It won't hide any incoming messages, they'll still appear in your chat frames.

- It will hide outgoing notifications sent by the AddOn itself.

- It'll still notify whisperers when combat ends.

- It'll send a notification message to a single person at most 1 / 60 secs to avoid spamming to much

Maybe better to delete one of the Addons theres now BW and BW2 on the Server :)

Rename it in...ehm Never Mind but delete one of them :)

And thank you for your work Tristan i like this Mod its very usefull :)

Thank you, I incorporated your changes into the main addon. If you'd read the post right before this, you'd have seen me saying "That's right, please do whatever you want with it."

Yeah I saw you said that, but since I didn't make the changes optional I didn't want to "break" the AddOn for people who where using it and was happy that it "muted" their whispers during boss encounters. That was the reason for making a number 2 instead of changing it.

Hi There....

My Problem is BW dont do anything...

Checkt it Yesterday in Karazhan , a Frind of mine whispers me during Nightbane and The Curator but BW doesnt say anything... Any secret to enable it? i looked in the List and tryed /ace load but it says..

Allready loaded ;) Possible to add a few Commands? Enable or Dissable ? And "Type" your Own Text here:

if there is a Loc needed let me know :)

I have completely rewritten it using a more 'normal' (if i dare say that ^^) approach including a fubar icon, toggling of outgoing/incoming whispers and the ability to *GASP* turn it off :P

I have drycoded it though, worldbosses arent some mobs that just roam the forests of Terrokar. It does load perfectly and it should work ;P

Anyway, Rabbit, why did you register the event UNIT_TARGET and not do anything with it? I cant see why it was registered :P

[edit]
before everyone starts to check out the new version, i still have to commit it ;)

I look forward to trying it out.

Ok, i commited the addon to the SVN, everything should be working, i tested it alot on elitemobs it worked like a charm. (although some times the targetting code kicks in a bit late :<)

Your r47151 build, standalone libraries, USEng server/client (live). Turn off the FuBar text (keeping the icon) via the options, it doesn't stay off through relogs and/or other character logs using the same profile. It always reappears when you relog. Which is an issue as "BossWhisperer" is...long :).

Hmm, i thought that stuff would be automaticly saved by Fubar when using it as a plugin, ill take a look what i did wrong :P

Any comments on the BossWhisperer blocks itself? I didnt get to test it at big bosses yet :>

Also, it breaks Prat for me.
~15s after logging in, Prat completely disables. None of it's functions work anymore. WITHOUT any error. Disabled BossWhisperer, all works perfect.

Thats very odd, i have prat as well and its working like a charm. Can you tell me what plugins you have running in prat? ( i know there are alot, but i have been using the addon this entire night in kara and it works perfectly :P)

As to text not being saved through relogs, you don't seem to have much FuBar option code in your revision of BossWhisperer.lua. Just a FuBarPlugin-2.0 dependency, code for the icon and little else.

May need to either write an actual, separate FuBar plugin or add more FuBar-specific code into BossWhisperer.lua. Such as what is done with NShakedown and other mods that use FuBar properly, yet don't have separate plugins for it.

No, as far as i can see you dont need a lot of code to have Fubar support. Basicly the fubar plugin handles everything automaticly. If i look at Violation it has like 3 lines of code as well, and 2 of those are for extra options to toggle what kind of stuff is displayed in fubar.

So its not my "way" of using fubar, but something else :P
