PartySpotter v2.52.11200 - Telic of Dragonblight (EU)

3

----------------------------------------------------

4

5

Small, standalone Modification that highlights which people on the WorldMap are in your Party, and which are in your Raid Group.

6

7

To take full advantage of this AddOn's features, don't forget to use the provided Key bindings to cycle through the main modes :)

8

9

Can highight different raid groups, friends, ignores, guild members, the raid leader, or any individual player you specify, as long as they are in the same party/raid, or in the same BattleGround.

10

11

Developed mainly because in BattleGrounds, EVERYONE is represented with the same default Yellow Icon, and you can't tell who you are grouped with easily.

12

13

Localisation : German, French.

Basic Features

--------------

With this AddOn installed, then when the WorldMap is displayed, PartySpotter will update it every second (definable by the user) :

23

24

- If you are in a Party, party members are highlighted with a Blue Icon

25

26

- If you are in a Raid, then people in your party/sub-group are still highlighed with a Blue Icon, and other Raid members are highlighted with an Orange Icon

27

28

- People not in your Party / Raid Group are still highlighted with the default Yellow Icon

29

30

- Party Member Icons will always be displayed on top of other player icons. e.g. When in a Raid, then the Icons displaying Party members (i.e. members of your Raid sub-group) are ALWAYS displayed on Top, and should always be visible

-------------------------------------

36

ADVANCED Features Added in v2.00.1800

37

-------------------------------------

38

39

Hopefully, version 2 should work with ALL clients.

40

41

Note: where ever I say "Map Key", you can substitute "Map Legend" if you are more familiar with that terminology ;)

- Can now show each sub-group in a Raid as a different colour  (/pspot showgroups icons)  { See the "What Colour Group am I in?" section of the PartySpotter Readme.txt file }

46

47

- OR can show each sub-group in a Raid as a numbered icon, showing exactly which sub-group it belongs to   (/pspot showgroups numbers)

48

49

- Or turn off sub-group highlights and use simple version 1 functionality to highlight your Party with Blue, and all other Raid members with Orange (/pspot showgroups off)

50

51

- PartySpotter Icons now show on BattleField MiniMap

52

53

- PartySpotter Icons now show on AlphaMap         : For full compatibility, AlphaMap must be updated to "AlphaMap (Fan's Update)" which I have released as an unofficial update with full disclaimer and apology to original author Jeremy Walsh.  I have only released this version because AlphaMap no longer seems to be supported by the original author, and full credit should go to them.  The version I have released has NO dependancy on PartySpotter, and can be used instead of the original AlphaMap without PartySpotter installed. You will still need PartySpotter to see different unit icons - See the AlphaMap section of the PartySpotter Readme.txt file for more details.

54

55

PartySpotter does have limited support for original Alphamap (but must be in a Party/Raid before you will see any unit icons within BattleGrounds.)

56

57

58

- Added a PartySpotter Map Key visible on the WorldMap or AlphaMap when in a Raid, showing which icons/colours represent which Raid Groups. This key is only visible when you have decided to represent each Raid sub-group with a different coloured/numbered icon.

59

60

- Click on a particular Raid Group on the PartySpotter Map Key to highlight that Group on the WorldMap/AlphaMap and make sure it becomes visible if it was previously obscured by other player icons. Click on the same group again to stop highlighting a particular group.

61

62

- The PartySpotter Map Key is draggable, and will remember where you last positioned it. (The WorldMap and AlphaMap map keys are independant of each other.)

63

64

- Added Command line functions to highlight special units. Options are as follows :

65

1.) /pspot showfriends to TOGGLE the highlighting of Friends with a Green icon with exclamation mark !

66

67

2.) /pspot showignores   to TOGGLE the highlighting of Ignores with a     Red   icon with exclamation mark !	(Compatible with InfiniteIgnore)

68

69

3.) /pspot showguild to TOGGLE the highlighting of Guild mates with a Blue icon with exclamation mark !

70

71

72

- Added key binding to cycle through the main PartySpotter modes

73

1.) Show Coloured Raid sub-groups

74

2.) Show Numbered Raid sub-groups

75

3.) Don't show Raid sub-groups

76

77

- Added key binding to cycle through the PartySpotter highlighting functions

1.) Friends

2.) Ignores

3.) Guild mates

4.) No Highlighting

82

83

- Highlights of Friends/Ignores/Guild should take priority over other icons, so if you can't find a particular unit/group, make sure you disable Friend/Ignore/Guild highlighting

84

85

86

--------------------------------------

87

ADVANCED Features Added in v2.50.11000

88

--------------------------------------

89

90

- Can now highlight the Raid Leader when you are in a Raid "/pspot -l" toggles this function

91

- Can now highlight an individual player, so that you no longer have to mouse over lots of units to find a single unit    "/pspot -t <name>"

Should be compatible with ALL Clients ( although not tested yet, so this is an educated guess ;)

96

Please e-mail me if you find this AddOn is or is not compatible with a certain client.

97

98

Welcome any and all help with localisation of the few English words used :)

99

100

( This AddOn only needs to be installed on your machine to work and display other party members/raid members correctly.  i.e. it does NOT need to be installed on other member's machines for you to see them with a different coloured icon. Obviously, they can install it as well, and they will then see you displayed with a different colour ;)

Slash Commands

--------------

/pspot : Displays the status of PartySpotter, and this list of Commands

110

/pspot 0 : Disable PartySpotter (i.e. /pspot followed by a zero)

118

132

133

/pspot reset : reset all defaults, and anchor the map keys to the default map positions

What Colour Group Am I In ?

139

---------------------------

140

141

Whether you are in a Party, or Raid, your local Party/Group Members are ALWAYS displayed with a Blue Icon.

142

143

If you are moved to a different sub-group within the Raid, then that group becomes represented by the Blue Icon, and the colour of the other sub-groups is shifted to accommodate this.  The PartySpotter Map Key will always show which Raid sub-group your local blue icons belong to, and which of the other sub-groups are represented by which other icons.

144

145

I have not included the ability to change the default colours of Icons. If you feel strongly that this would be useful, then e-mail at the contact address below :)  The more e-mail requests I get the more strongly I'll consider adding the feature.

AlphaMap (Fan's Update)

151

-----------------------

152

153

Again, apologies to the original author (Jeremy Walsh), if I am stepping on his toes :(

154

155

All I have done is bring AlphaMap back in to line with the current version of the WorldMapFrame.

156

It is in no way dependant on PartySpotter to work correctly, and PartySpotter is in no way dependant on ANY version of AlphaMap.

157

There is NO PartySpotter specific code in my release of AlphaMap, and I am 99% certain that if the original author releases his own up to date version, then PartySpotter will work with that release, and people can forget about my "Fan's Update" ;)

158

Here are the updates I have added to AlphaMap :

159

160

1.) All team mates of your faction are now visible in BattleGrounds, whether or not they

161

are in your Party/Raid ( This is NOT PartySpotter functionality - just the default Icons )

162

163

2.) Improved the Units Tooltips code, to display a list of player names under the mouse

164

as per the tooltips on other maps. Instead of just a single player name.

165

166

3.) Added BattleGround Flag/Objective statuses

167

168

4.) As a consequence of the above - has full support for the PartySpotter AddOn

169

170

171

Please Note : PartySpotter will still work with the original AlphaMap, but you will only see people in your Party/Raid, as the original AlphaMap does not display BattleGround team mates that are not in your Party/Raid groups.
