Updated! Make sure to check the change log!
A Clockwork Warcraft brings a little touch of that Burgess finesse to your WoW experience! No longer will you have to settle for the mundane understandability of standard English; now you can speak to friends and strangers in Nadsat, the slang language in A Clockwork Orange! Simply type your chats as you normally would, and A Clockwork Warcraft will translate it to Nadsat.
Still a work in progress, A Clockwork Warcraft has basic functionality, with more to come. This is my third AddOn, and the first with a lot of chat manipulation, so it may be a bit of time to get this all done. So far:
Features:
- A dictionary of Nadsat terms
- Nadsat translation works in all chat channels (raid, guild, say, group...)
- Disable/enable with a command
- Set AddOn to translate everything, half, or a third of what it can. Helps if people get confused/agitated/overwhelmed
- Also lets you translate a message without actually saying anything in a chat channel
- Built in commands to explain the AddOn to chat channels. Now people will only think you're slightly crazy.
To Be Implemented/Fixed- Dictionary can always use more expansion. Leave a comment with any changes you can think of!
- Capitalization does not carry over on translated words
- Change in the way slash commands are processed, so its not so convoluted for the explain commands.
- A catchy image of a gnomish clockwork Alex. Apparently I suck at msPaint. I need to spend more time on it.
- Problems you find or ideas you have! Leave a comment!
