    NameViolation  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

    Version: 1.43
    by: Wachunga [More]

    by Wachunga (Maelstrom-US)

    Simplifies reporting names that violate the Naming Policy.

    Update June 2009:
    Check the "Optional Files" tab for the latest version, now maintained by Fincasann in my absence. Thanks Fincasann!

    Version History
    1.43 - September 16, 2008

    • now works correctly with most recent patch (use the "Report Issue" button)
    • simplified auto-removal of reported names: user is now prompted whenever submitting a ticket
    • added some colour to UI messages
    • removed "skip windows" option, since the default help menu was simplified by Blizzard in 2.4.3
    • removed "no response" option, since Blizzard added "Report Issue" button that requires no response by default
    • added new slash command for switching language of report message (/nv language) for players with English client playing on German servers. Note: the options interface will include this in a future version.
    1.42 - May 13, 2008
    • fixed minor issue related to replacing enchantments
    1.41 - April 14, 2008
    • fixed minor settings initialization issue
    1.4 - April 13, 2008
    • added a checkmark in the popup menu for already-reported players (beside the chosen category, if any)
    • added realm name to GM reports
    • disabled reporting in battleground and arena matches
    • fixed German localization (typos, encoding)
    • fixed display of ctrl/cmd for pc/mac
    • fixed /who guild name reporting issue (introduced in 1.3)
    1.3 - April 11, 2008
    • German localization now included (thanks Bl4ckSh33p!)
    • report instructions now correctly display on first use only
    • improved pet detection, fixing some pet reporting issues
    1.2 - April 10, 2008
    • now localization-ready
    • added reporting instructions on first use
    • improved keybinding error-checking
    • added limit to number of names per ticket
    1.1 - April 7, 2008
    • added "Das Konsortium" to list of RP realms
    • some saved variable optimization
    1.0 - April 6, 2008

    Features
    • Allows right-clicking on targets to record naming violations. (Or just use the provided keybinding.)
    • Also works for names in chat, who list results, etc.
    • Supports player, hunter pet and guild names.
    • * When creating a ticket with 'Report Issue', the full report is shown for easy copy and paste.
    • Names are automatically removed once reported.
    • Fully customizable via interface options.

    Q&A

    Q: Why can't I report names in battleground/arena matches?

    1) You should be focused on winning the match, not reporting people.
    2) You are more likely to report people in anger (because they clobbered you, etc.)
    3) Players may be from all different realm types, and some violations don't apply to certain realm types.

    Q: Why do users of NameViolation have to copy and paste the ticket message?

    A: Because of the recent addition of the "Report Spam" feature, Blizzard assumed that there was no longer any need for reporting addons and removed the ability to automatically create new tickets. Yet the process to report Naming Policy violations remains very inconvenient.

    Until this is addressed (suggestions have certainly been made), NameViolation works around this oversight by showing the report message in another frame for easy copy and paste. Note that it is currently impossible to directly set the text of the ticket window, or else that's just what this addon would do.


    Q: Is this addon legal?

    A: This addon does not allow players to do anything they cannot already do -- it just makes life easier. For example, players can already keep a list of names and report them using copy and paste. With NameViolation, there's just less alt-tabbing and/or scraps of paper to worry about.

    If you're still not convinced, see the Mods FAQ on the official forums:

    RP Names
    I believe the AddOn will only enforce them if it knows you're on an RP Designated Server. I haven't tried them it on a non-RP server. Which server are you running it on?

    Shoot me a note
    Kugar:

    Or anyone for that matter, I suppose. If you're not comfortable editing the lua yourself, please shoot me a private note with your email, and I would be happy to forward you a version with my changes.

    I'll also see if I can poke Wachunga.

    Working for all?
    Hi there:

    Fin here again. Since no one made any posts since I posted the fix lines, i'm assuming it's working ok?

    If anyone runs into the same problem I did (described below), I was (at least temporarily) able to fix the problem by finding the NameViolation.lua in my saved variables folder under my account name. There I located a NameViolation.lua.bak file. Restoring this file seemed to fix the problem.

    Please message me and/or Wachunga with notes?

    Fin

    3.0.9. "fix"
    I was able to get a hold of the author and sent him the lua. There are a couple points I wasn't able to fix, and hope that he will. In the mean time, this should fix the UI errors:


    =============================================
    Line 385:
    Original: local dropdownMenu = getglobal(UIDROPDOWNMENU_INIT_MENU);
    Change: local dropdownMenu = UIDROPDOWNMENU_INIT_MENU;

    Line 492:
    Oiriginal:
    function NameViolation_UnitPopup_OnClick()
    Original_UnitPopup_OnClick();
    local dropdownFrame = getglobal(UIDROPDOWNMENU_INIT_MENU);
    Change:
    function NameViolation_UnitPopup_OnClick(self)
    Original_UnitPopup_OnClick(self);
    local dropdownFrame = UIDROPDOWNMENU_INIT_MENU;

    =============================================

    This did get the r-click menu working for me 3.0.9. I noticed later there were problems with it not removing names from the list, or composing the whole note to GM, (Both seemed to work the 1st time, but not on subsequent attempts) when i send the ticket. Be careful: if you don't manually remove them from the list you'll end up sending the same 8 or so names.

    Also, because the template composition doesn't appear for me, I make sure to put a "THANKS" or something between the list of names on the ticket, and MY name that is the auto-generated signature.

    I've sent these changes to Wachunga and offered any help I can in getting this patched up. Hopefully we RP police can hobble along with my mediocre work until then.


    Good luck!

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Fix to author?
    I did indeed get a bit lost (or at least tired) while waiting for Blizzard to get things fixed up.

    Thanks for looking into this, fincasann. Feel free to post your changes. Unfortunately I don't currently have an active account to test them myself, but I can still package them up and release an updated new version.

    Maybe Wachunga got lost in the woods and cannot find his way back.
