NEW Addon: Silent Whisper - v0.1.1

[caffiend86]

if you modify silentwhisper.lua, changing the whisper function to the following

function Whisper(Message, sender)
	if !isPartyLeader then
		local rname
		local leader = "party"..GetPartyLeaderIndex()
		inInstance, instanceType = IsInInstance()
		local msg = "Sent by "..sender..": "..Message
		if mbLeader == "party" then
			if instanceType == "pvp" then
				rname = GetUnitName("focus", false)
			else
				rname = GetUnitName(leader, false)
			end
		elseif mbLeader == "focus" then
			rname = GetUnitName("focus", false)
		else 
			rname = nameLeader
		end
		SendChatMessage(msg , "WHISPER", "Common", rname);
	end
end

this should allow boxers who use partyleader or focus to use the addon.

add a line near the beginning declaring nameLeader = the named character of the leader if required.

NOTE: for people using partyleader, this takes battlegrounds into consideration and will use focus for leader definition instead.
It also checks to see if the character is leader and only resending whispers.
And it will send the originator of the message

Hey Djarid and Falkor, I tried replacing whisper function with the above code, however no whispers appear to be forwarding after I do so even including manually entering the primary character name in nameLeader as an alternate... Anything you can find in this code to make it work?

Alternately modifying the original silent whisper code to perform if/else checking to assign rname to be one of 3 characters by checking for which ones exists and forwarding whispers on from there... This would serve my purposes as I have 3 different toons that could be leading my 5 box(I have no clue on the syntax its been over 10 years since I took any sort of programming classes).

RName = kylarina (exists?), Else maivis (exists?), irinyes, and so on...

Intresting... I'm currently creating the framed admin which will remove the requirement for your code but at the same time I'm trying to figure out where you went wrong.....

I personally would have 2functions.... party leader function and static function
Then in the onload do an if / else on the functions ......

I was just wondering, since the whisper redirecting functionality is already part of this addon:
http://wowinterface.com/downloads/in...oxToolkit.html
Is the one you are making meant to be a lightweight version for just that one function?

[Sentack]

This actually looks like a nice light weight add-on. I like the look of Two-Box Tool Kit but it does seem like it's a tad bulky and might need some updating. Has anyone checked to see if the last version of the toolkit is up to date?

This addon though seems like a good tool for boxers, if they don't want all the other baggage Two-box gives.

Twoboxtoolkit hasn't been updated in a while as far as i know, but it still works fine for me, even with the new patch.
And i use more of its functions if not all, so i'm very happy with it

[The IT Monkey]

I think, as boxers, we would wish all of our mods to be as light weight and modular as possible. I tried twobox but most if it I didn't use so was very happy to see Silent Whisper.

Another aspect of this is that it being small and purpose driven (meaning it doesn't claim to do any follow or other business) is that we can request changes to it that it would make sense for it to do. Such as the "being able to reply" function.

I am glad Silent Whisper came on the scene and am looking forward to future versions.

[Maxion]

Just a note, I believe twobox toolkit has been updated for 2.4 now.

[Djarid]

For many of us the only reason twobox toolkit is interesting is for the whisper redirection and so Falkor's addon is great...

I've been running with the Twoboxing Add-on (Needs a better name) And I must admit, it's been pretty nice overall. I haven't really tweaked the settings too much but, I like it so far for a few of the features I've actually been using lately. Auto Party Joining, Auto Quest Accepting, and Buff drop warning. Nobody has whispered yet to my clones, so I haven't seen that feature active yet. I also threw in the Ace2 bare bones package just for the /in command, which is pretty fun to run my "I'm not a Bot!" macro that had my clones arguing over the fact that if I"m a bot or not.

A new macro I need to make will be called, "This is called Multi-Boxing." and just have my clones talk abotu the fact that their's nothing wrong with what I'm doing, and I'm not here to ruin your fun. I've had a few people follow me, give me some lip and laugh at me over multi-boxing. So far though, I really don't care. But a few have found it interesting. I get a lot of requests for invites though to help PL or finish quests. Quest assistance, I'm fine with though.
