IRLSummon

Version: 1.5
by: Valanthor [More]

This is a tool for players in game to summon you from your real life, hence the name.
Go AFK or Alt+Tab without worrying!!
However, this mod will not stop you from being logged out due to inactivity.

It works by changing your AFK message to one of your choosing, attaching a keyword (also of your choosing) to the end of it.
When someone sends you a tell and discovers you are AFK, your AFK message will inform them of the keyword to send.
If they send a tell with the keyword, a sound will play alerting you to return to your desk (turn your speakers up if you cannot hear it from where you are going to be, you can sample the volume by using the Test button in Additional Options).
There is also an option to mute game sound while you are afk so you can turn up your speakers without other sounds playing (Doomwalker for example).
As of v1.2 you have the option of monitoring guild and chat channels for keywords (character's name by default). A whisper is then sent asking the player if they need your assistance (they could then respond yes or use the normal keyword).
As of v1.3 you have the option of receiving a notification before you are logged out due to inactivity, this is a separate (selectable) sound from the one used to summon you.
As of v1.5 you have the option to increase the master volume to 100% before playing the summon sound (reduce the master volume and turn up your speakers to increase the relative volume of the summon sound).

08/13/2008 v1.0
Initial Release

08/14/2008 v1.1
Added code to restore sound settings to normal when you are logged out while AFK
Added eight new sounds to choose from
Added an option to disable changing of the AFK message (enabled by default)
Changed the default keyword to peaches (Apple was bad sense it is case sensitive)
Packaged the addon folder instead of the individual files since Zidomo said it was packaged improperly

08/16/2008 v1.2
Mod will no longer remove AFK status by sending whispers (confirm message now enabled by default)
Added monitoring for guild and chat channels (character's name by default) Whisper is then sent asking the player if they need your assistance (they could then respond yes or use the normal keyword)
Keywords are no longer case sensitive (Apple = apple)
Slight revamp of the options UI to account for new features
Other addons will no longer be able to send sounds while you are afk (if the "Sound Toggling" option is checked)

09/03/2008 v1.3
Added a "Return" button to the popup that appears when you go afk
Adden an option to disable the popup window appearing
Changed the way in which the addon listens for keywords so that the player sending you messages only gets one default AFK message (no more spam)
Added the AceTimer library so that we may wait 20 seconds before enabling AFK status (to wait for keywords after the first message is recieved)
Added some comments in code to help explain the logic if someone ever feels the need to understand it
The option to disable guild and custom channel monitoring works now
Fixed the PlaySound function so that it would not disable sound when previewing sounds in the options menu
Added an option to play a sound when you will soon be logged out due to inactivity

10/17/2008 v1.4
TOC update to 30000

07/19/2010 v1.5
ToC update to 30300
Added the option to increase Master Volume to 100% before sending the summon sound, this will make it easier to be heard if you normally play with your Master Volume at a low level
Changed the Additional Options submenu to disable options that rely on others
Added a Test button to the Additional Options page so that you can simulate being summoned
Optional Files (0)

The new v1.2 isn't packed properly again.

The included ZIP paths are "\IRLSummon1.2\IRLSummon\". The first part of that path should not be there.

This is definitely a cool idea, since I play with a lot of "distractions". I go /afk a lot. My only problem will be getting my RL friends to cooperate with the system and understand and use the keyword.

The download isn't packed properly, though. The ZIP is missing the main folder path (\IRLSummon, I assume).
Fixed in 1.1

Also some new features, and fixed the annoying sound levels at zero making you change them back "bug" if you logged out while afk with "Enable Sound Toggling" option checked.
