Party gold, for the lazy :-)

[Zub]

I couldn't be asked to always calculate how much i have in total, across all my toons, so i wrote a little addon to calculate it for me.
Thought it might be useful to others.

[Edit] I've updated the tool a fair bit and now this is what it does:
- uses the addon chat methods, so you won't see anything in party chat anymore
- i still display the information on the main toon, in normal text
- I now remember the gold on all of your toons, and calculate the complete total for the realm you are on.
- Just login/logout with a toon for the addon to register it and include it in totals.
- by default the addon lists all the toons it knows and their respective gold, you can skip that list by using " /gt silent " (display none) or "/gt current" (only display the list of toons currently in the group)
- in all cases (silent, group or just /gt) the total is based on all knows toons linked to the accounts currently in the group.
- use /gt help if in doubt.

here's the new link to download it (3KB): GoldTracker Addon

Updated the image below as well

DISCLAIMER #1: I'm not an addon specialist! so the code is probably stupid, not optimised and sucks altogether. oh well. it works, and it's under a hundred lines so not going to eat your resources

DISCLAIMER #2: it's only lua, no danger (check it yourself), however, use at your own risk
Don't blame me if for whatever reason you end up spamming your gold in /yell in the middle of Dalaran. (take a screenshot if you do however please :-)


Here's what it looks like:

as you can see it's very basic. use "/gt help" to see the options


how it works:
- download the attachment, and unzip it in your "wow / Interface / AddOns" folder
- put it on every wow that you're going to start.
- once you're loaded, get all your toons in a group.
- type /gt or /goldtracker on your main toon, you'll see a request go off
- you'll then see all party members answer with their gold info
- the requester will then announce the total.

Haven't tested it much yet, but curious to hear any suggestions/improvements as i might update it.
