Greetings,
I tend to be a bit wordy at times so bear with me. The mod started as a personal mod of mine that I added things I found helpful and used them myself, until it got to a point where I thought others might be able to find it useful as well and decided to post it. Useful Extras is a small little mod to make a number of helpful options availible, it takes almost no memory or processor use. To summarize; There is a basic calculator, color picker that is mainly helpful to developers or anyone messing with WoW text colors in-game, and a couple auto options similar to what TwoBox used to do but with more options.
The readme gives more specific details, but below is a basic summary of whats there right now.
And the portal here, will have have more frequent news about this mod same as Looter, as well as the Bug Reports and Feature Requests section there is availible for Useful Extras as well.
Functioning:
* Toggles for: Autoaccept Invite, Summon, Ress, Autofollow, Automount, UE on or off, Allow friends or Guild lists to use commands, Auto-accept Quests, Auto-complete Quests, Sticky Follow (follow after exiting combat), Whisper Relaying, Low Health/Mana Warning, and Return/Delete icons for the Mailbox.
* New toggles for Auto-declining Duel requests, or Guild Invites/Charter requests, as well as Auto-releasing on death in a battleground and Auto-passing on loot rolls.
* The before said features the toggles are for (that always work for those manually added to the Leader list, and work for those on the friends or guild lists if the use friends or guild toggles are on).
* Basic GUI, can be accessed with /ue menu
* Minimap button to open the menu, or reload the UI
* LDB(Broker) Support, minimap button functionality but on Titan Panel Fubar, or other LDB compatible displayer.
* Exp Report with /ue exp, or whisper command with /whisper name exp
* In-Game Basic Calculator (/ue calc (9*9)/3)
* ID command, to get a moused over items itemLink, item id, and stack size
* Ability to use the In-Game Color picker to get RGB values of any color, or the 'real' value used by WoW for its chat colors, Useful for developers to get the wow color values for using in chat messages. Can use /ue test chat to see what the current selected color will look like in a chat message, or /ue setcolor to set a standard R,G,B value (/ue setcolor 255,124,56) for seeing what it'd look like in a chat message with /ue test chat. If using /ue getwowcolor, only the first two digits after the period are really necessary (0.04, 0.48), or simply get the RGB values and put (rgbvalue/255) in your code.
Using the recently added change to the mounting up function, you can make a global macro with /script UE_pickMount("smart") and it will automatically mount your best availible mount depending on what you have, your location & if you have cold weather flight for northrend. You can then put the global macro button on the actionbar of any character that has UE enabled and click it to smartly mount the best mount for the location regardless of what mounts each char may or may not have.
New Mounting Macros: Commands are /ue createmacros local, or /ue createmacros global Will create three mounting macros either in the global, or character-specific sections for the three mounting functions, such as one for best ground mount, one for best air, and one for "smart mounting" which can then easily be put on the actionbar. In the case of making them global, you could then have them availible to any character on the account to use the same macro and mount up regardless of what mounts they may or may not have.
Also the recently added preferred mount feature will be taken into account first when using any of the before said macros (or mounting whispers).
Todos:
In-Line Todos:
* Improve the Basic GUI (really this time)
Future Todo:
* TBD
Eternal Todos:
* Eliminate any bugs (if any)

EV, the typo of Scholazar Basin (instead of the correct Sholazar Basin) is still in the latest version. Just thought I'd remind you, since it doesn't let you auto-mount after looting in that zone if its not spelled correctly. =)

EVMaker,
Any ideas why when i invite my second box to the group with this addon turned on this addon automatically leaves the party? I'm in the leader list. I have another addon that auto accepts the group but this one for some reason immediately leaves the party and I can't figure out why. |

Re: Just a note
Edit: Consequently, I hope Chiffa didn't ruRU localize based on my mispell there, as I have no way to translate that myself if they did. So if there are any other ruRU users out there, that wouldn't mind going to Sholazar and using smart mount to see if it works, that'd be great.

Just a note
I love the utility of this add on, but was confounded by a bug that didn't want to let me use the smart mount capability in Sholazar Basin. On inspection of the ZoneLib.lua file, I discovered that the zone was listed in the file spelled "Scholazar Basin" - I removed the apparently erronious 'c' in the name of the zone, reloaded, and could smart-mount in Sholazar as well as everywhere else. Great mod, just wanted to let you know about the spelling. I'm using the enUS client; I'm not sure if the spelling is different for different localizations.
Cheers! ~Doskious Steele |

I notice you added the option to Hide Follow Whispers, can you make one that effects the Auto-accept Quests. As people with WIM installed, that gets annoying as hell for.

Thanks!
Just wanted to thank you again for a great addon that I can't WoW without - and for being so responsive to feature suggestions and bug fixes.

Re: Re: Re: Add Minimalist Functions?
A number of the stuff I can see making an implementation of, it will need to wait till a version after the version I pretty much have ready for release now however as I'm going to have to recode/expand the options menu for the new options, its getting pretty crowded as is. |

Add Minimalist Functions?
Hey, I just stumbled upon your addon and it seems very promising!
Is there any chance you could intergrate some of the options of the addon called "minimalist"? As it seems this addon is not updated anymore and it has somany great little extra's! - Enable/Disable Gryphons - Minimap Tweaks - Chat Tweaks - and more. Hope you can have a look at the addon and intergrate some of those functions in yours! |
