NotesUNeed  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v6.63.33500
by: Telic, AJH16

___________________________________________________

NotesUNeed v6.63.33500 - Adrill of Eonar (US)
Originally created by Telic of Dragonblight (EU)
___________________________________________________

- fixed ChatFrameEditBox issue as reported by ameyaselene. Thanks for the great bug report.

Additionally, if anyone else would additionally be interested in working on maintaining this mod with me, I am looking in to setting NuN up on a repository to allow multiple contributors to work on it. PM me if you want to get involved.

AJ (Adrill of Eonar/US)




Feature-rich, searchable Notes database with many automated features, and additional NuN tooltips for viewing note details.

Make Contact Notes on other Players, or General Notes on anything else.

This AddOn is for making your own custom notes on players, and quests, and items, etc. and does not come with any pre-made notes.
It does provide an Export and Import Feature for sharing of sets of notes, or publishing of note databases.

There is no longer an "Alternative" version of NuN, and the default Modifier keys for creating notes from Container Items and Hyperlinks is now simply "<Alt>-Left Mouse Click". For anyone unhappy with this key-Combo, then they can now specify their own via the NotesUNeed Options frame.

Compatible with Titan via : TitanNotesUNeed
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/titannotesuneed.aspx

Compatible with LibDataBroker AddOns via : NuN-LDB
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info13550-NuN-LDBLibDataBrokerAddonforNotesUNeed.html

Browser frame. For example, to just look at NPC notes, or browse
Quest History for one of your Toons

6.) Backup and Restore functionality to save your database

for others to Import

8.) Broadcasting & Sending of NotesUNeed Notes

I just mean that its worth mentioning to the Spam Sentry author, as that is hooking ALL Who activity - whereas NuN is just requesting Who information; So its Spam Sentry's library that isn't playing nice, rather than NuN... and I know that Spam Sentry has had other issues with the Who Frame opening when people change zones etc.

Or you could ask the author of SpamSentry for an option to turn off its /who Hooks - I'm not certain, but I think its main function as a Gold spam blocker is not affected by its /who functionality, which is effectively extra functionality... don't quote me on that, as I didn't have that much time to study it

But presumably the the /nun -whorestrict should help you as it will stop NuN automatically requesting /who ifno

Yes, happens with 6.03. Since I can't really play without SpamSentry, and I'm not sure I have backupped the latest working NuN, I'll try that slash command .

(and no, I haven't used any slash command)

This started happening after I opened a NuN note.

EDIT: disabling SpamSentry stopped the windows from opening.
Even with v6.03.20200 ?
I stopped modifying the Who frame in this version, unless you have used the "/nun -alternativewho" command to start modifying the Who frame again...
i.e. Try using "/nun -alternativewho" until it says "off"

And as a last resort, you should be able to use the following slash command in v6.03
/nun -restrictwho
to stop NuN automatically trying to use /who info


I wrote these functions based on the WoW Who Interface - sorry but Spam Sentry uses a library to completely replace the Who Interface, and I don't have time to learn multiple ways of dealing with Who, so I'll stick with the original.... I think if an AddOn is going to hook in to all Who activity, then the onus is on them to make their work compatible with everyone elses, rather than the other way around

Although I may do some testing of my own when I get my game account up and running again, to see if I can get around the issue some other way...

v6.03.20200

I'm hopefully gonna get my gaming account back on line in the next few weeks - but until then I need you NuNs out there to keep on reporting errors even when they seem SO obvious...


Changes in v6.03.20200 from v6.02.20200
---------------------------------------

- Guild notes should only be created when the Option is turned on !

v6.02.20200

Changes in v6.02.20200 from v6.01.20200
---------------------------------------

- as some people are still seeing the WhoFrame, I have changed this functionality.
You shouldn't see when NuN "/who"s somebody, but at worst now, you should only see Chat Frame /who information.

- as a last resort, anyone still having trouble with the /who command can use the following slash command
/nun -restrictwho
This command will stop NotesUNeed from automatically requesting Who information. The Who button in Player notes should still work for manual requests.
(There is also an "/nun -alternativewho" command available that people can use to modify the NuN Who without disabling it)

- the following slash commands now report status.
/nun -delay [number of seconds] -- [number of seconds] is optional; If ommitted then the current value will be reported.
/nun -restrictwho
/nun -alternativewho

My misunderstanding, I didn't know you meant the right click context menu ...

Yup, the default NuN key combo doesn't use Shift, but the Player can change it so...
Anyway, nvm, I'm gonna try a fix from my side.

i.e. are you using the same key for the Blizzard Chat modifier and the NuN Modifier ?

v6.01.20200

OK : ABSOLUTELY NO MORE FEATURE REQUESTS FOR A MONTH ;P
I'M ONLY GONNA FIX BUGS FOR A WHILE AFTER THIS RELEASE.

Changes in v6.01.20200 from v6.00.20200
-------------------------------------------------

- can now hold down the <Alt> key in order to show the full NotesUNeed tooltip when Mousing Over other players in the 3D world.
i.e. holding down the <Alt> key temporarily cancels the "Minimise MouseOver Target Tooltips" Option.
NOTE: pressing <Alt> won't immediately change the NuN Tooltip from a minimised to a full tooltip on its own. You will have to refresh the Game Tooltip by moving the mouse away, and holding the <Alt> key down when you Mouse Over that target again.

Changes in v6.00.20200 from v5.59.20200

- NEW Button on the Options Frame to capture User Defined Mouse & Keyboard modifiers to use when creating notes from Items / Links.
Simply Left/Right Click without any modifier keys to choose which Mouse Button to use.
Hold down required Modifer Keys & Click to Save the specific keyboard Modifiers to use.
Modified Left Click : Records left or right keyboard buttons as the same modifier key
Modified Right Click : Records left and right keyboard buttons as different modifiers
Default is still <Alt>-Left Click
The Text on the Button itself reflects what the mouse button & modifier combo is currently.
SEE THE README.TXT FOR FURTHER EXAMPLES OF HOW TO USE THIS BUTTON

- Player Rating via the Right click context menu has a new addition.
The first button is an option to open a NotesUNeed note for that Player without "Rating" them.
The other rating options are still present and will assign a Player rating without opening a note.
All the options will create a note for the Player in question if no NotesUNeed note already exists.
If you hold down the <Alt> key while choosing a Rating, then the NuN Note will also be opened.

- Added a Drop Down box listing all your Alts to the Quest History frame;
So that you can now browse the Quest History for any of your Alts no matter which one you have logged in with.
Obviously, you will have needed to have logged in to these Alts at some stage with a version of NotesUNeed enabled.

- More information about Guild, Race, Class, and Sex should be gathered automatically without needing you to manually select details.
Some information requires you to have Partied with, or Targetted people when creating the note;

- New slash commands for Sending/Broadcasting notes :
/nun -sendG "NOTE_NAME", "SEND_METHOD"[, "SEND_PARAMETER"] -- sends General type note text
/nun -sendGF "NOTE_NAME", "SEND_METHOD"[, "SEND_PARAMETER"] -- sends General type note as Formatted text
/nun -sendC "NOTE_NAME", "SEND_METHOD"[, "SEND_PARAMETER"] -- sends Contact type note text
/nun -sendCF "NOTE_NAME", "SEND_METHOD"[, "SEND_PARAMETER"] -- sends Contact type note as Formatted text
where -
"NOTE_NAME" = the name of the note or note title
"SEND_METHOD" = how to send the note e.g. "GUILD", "RAID", "WHISPER", "CHANNEL", etc.
"SEND_PARAMETER" = Optionally required (i.e. who to WHISPER to -OR- the Channel ID/Name)
NOTE: using any of these slash commands will close any currently open note.

- Added a delay between lines sent when Broadcasting/Transmitting notes to other Players on Channels.
Default delay is 0.33 seconds (i.e. roughly 3 lines a second)
Use slash command "/nun -delay <#_SECONDS>" to change the default delay time

- The "Who" information button should now work with 1 click

- Added Options to automatically maintain Notes for all Guild Members.

- There is a verbose option for Guild noting, and NotesUNeed will report the total number of members (and the number currently online)
NotesUNeed will also note the names of new members, or members who have left the Guild since the last changes NotesUNeed recorded.

- various bug fixes including a problem with the Mass Delete functionality, and made sure it tidies up after itself

- various changes to clean up the code

Version 6 Credits
