LFDAutoJoin

Version: 1.1

by: Zenh [More]

LFDAutoJoin automatically joins ready LFDs. It's very lightweight and has little customization.

LFDAutoJoin has a polite AFK behavior: if you are AFK you will still auto-join the instance, but after zoning you will print a friendly BRT (be-right-there) message to /party (or /say if the party wasn't initialized yet--e.g. latency). These AFK messages are configurable in the LUA file.

LFDAutoJoin will also play a custom sound when a LFD is ready, one more noticeable (possibly annoying) than the default. This sound is optional/configurable. You can also choose to only play the sound when AFK (default).

The sound and its credits:
http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=18075

Toggle enable/disable of LFDAutoJoin (saved per account):
/lfdauto

Please use LFDAutoJoin with respect to others. Heroics are repetitive, people are impatient; don't let them wait for more than a minute.

----------------
CONFIGURATION
----------------

Refer to LFDAutoJoin.lua to make changes.

Defaults:

Code:

local showAfkMessage = true
local playSound = 2 -- VALUES: false, 1 = Yes, 2 = Only When AFK

local afkMessages = {
    "I'll be ready soon, just need a sec.",
    "Be right there guys, need a sec.",
    "Hey all, I'll be ready in just a bit.",
    "Hi, need a sec to be ready.",
    "Hey, I just need a sec to begin.",
    "Hello, I'll be ready in a sec."
}

local soundFile = 'Interface\\AddOns\\LFDAutoJoin\\ready.mp3'

--------------------------------------------
v1.1 = Added mod enable/disable through /lfdauto. Added an option to play the ready sound only when AFK. Lastly toned way down the volume of ready.mp3.

I don't expect to see an update since apparently there's nothing to be done..I just wanted an official confirmation the functionality is protected now & gone for good..

Anyway here's the best answer we're probably going to get :-)

Good/bad news, depending on your stance: LFDAutoJoin does not work on PTR 3.3.3 because AcceptProposal() is semi-protected. (it seems to cause tainting only when called from an event handler; e.g. LFG_PROPOSAL_SHOW)

I couldn't find a workaround. Enjoy the mod while it lasts.
(unless Blizzard changes their mind)

I honestly didn't like the idea at first, but it is annoying being returned to queue when someone afk's 'cuz you know their gonna be ready soon. it supposedly returns you to the front of the queue but you end up waiting for another tank even tho their not the one that timed out.

Potter A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 186 Uploads: 0	great! thank you :-) would it be unreasonable to ask for the ability to toggle that function with a slash command in game? say something like /lfd afk.. Off being always display the afk message.. On being only display afk message while flagged afk.. or would something like that be getting a little out of the scope of the simplistic design of the addon ;-D Last edited by Potter : 02-25-10 at 10:28 AM.

Could an option be added to the .lua to enable the AFK message at all times..even while I'm not AFK..

Say I join LFD as a dps..& go away..and the dungeon just so happens to come up ready before the game has flagged me AFK..

I'll code this option for patch 3.3.3.

Meanwhile you can change the code like this for same functionality:

Code:

    if showAfkMessage then
        isAfk = 1
    end

And comment this event:

Code:

-- LFDAutoJoin:RegisterEvent('PLAYER_FLAGS_CHANGED')

They can also retroactively block versions of Addons they don't like.

http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/GetAddOnInfo

Field 5 returns if it's loadable and Field 6 has the reason.

One of the reasons is "BANNED" or "DEP_BANNED". Field 7 also lists the security with "BANNED" being for "black-listed addons"

Addons that are banned will return banned messages via the GetAddonInfo function , will show up as red in the addons list and will not load.

Certain older spammy versions of GearScore were sucessfully blocked via this method following a server shutdown/restart one week.

/dump GetAddonInfo("GearScore") was returning banned messages for older versions of GS and those older versions would not load.

So this addon is legal till it get's Banned

And if Blizzard really wanted to ban it it wouldn't take them very long to find out given wowinterface.com is part of the Official Blizzard fansite program and this addon as appeared in a Pick of the Week.

and yes, this is my feeling but shared by all players I know IRL and all my guildmates.

edit: and to be honest, yes your addon is a great idea, that's only players who make things wrong...

I wasn't angry, but I mistook "tool" as in this add-on, as it was a bit ambiguous in your last post.

So just out of curiousity..what's your position on just how..well.."legal" this addon is..

I can respect the idea it isn't your problem or concern..but you wouldn't be very wise to think "if Blizzard has a problem with it..they'll do something about it"..since that something they do about it might be bans for botting..

If I understand the functionality correctly..you're automating a click..it may just be 1 click..but isn't that dangerously close to a function that could be considered botting..

Clicking frames or buttons via add-ons is safe, lots of add-ons do it. If it wasn't permitted it would be protected API. I should reiterate there are add-ons that will auto-join a battleground, and have been around for years.
