Corpse

Version: 5.0.0.1

by: Saiket [More]

_Corpse tells you the faction, online status, and other information about corpses you see. That is, when you mouse over a corpse (after the player releases spirit), _Corpse automatically queries the server about who owns the body and automatically colors and fills out its tooltip like a regular living unit.

How It Works

This mod is a spiritual successor to CorpseInfo, however it is significantly faster and less prone to error because it uses the friends list rather than “/who” queries. Not only that, but it's always accurate about the target's faction, and can see when enemies are online.

In battlegrounds, _Corpse uses the scoreboard data directly to instantly give you class and faction information.

Why Use _Corpse?

It can help you decide if a corpse is worth resurrecting, because it shows online/offline status and <AFK> flags. Wondering if a dead enemy is still online and worth camping? This is your mod. It has no configuration; just install it and mouse over some corpses.

5.0.0.1: Added itIT localization.
4.3.0.4: Can now reliably tell enemies from allies in rated BGs, wargames, and arenas.
4.3.0.3: Fixed an error that prevented the corpses of disconnected players from being recognized in instances.
4.3.0.2: Now works in cross-realm LFR raids and arenas.
4.3.0.1: Added support for enCN, enTW, ptBR, and ptPT localizations.
4.2.0.2: Fixed an issue with class labels in battlegrounds.
4.2.0.1: Bumped TOC for 4.2.
4.1.0.1: Updated deDE, esES/esMX, and koKR localizations.
4.0.0.2:
- Updated deDE, frFR, and zhTW translations for 4.0.1. Thanks to Possible for the deDE translations.
- Added a tool to extract locale constants to be used when things break on non-English clients.
4.0.0.1: Bumped TOC for patch 4.0.1.
3.3.5.2: Fixed frFR and ruRU locales so they can detect corpses properly.
3.3.5.1: Slight update for compatibility with patch 3.3.5's friends list changes.
3.3.0.2:
- Now passes a second argument to Add/RemoveFriend to tell other addons that the command should be ignored. Should now be compatible with Tekkub's FriendsWithBenefits.
- Added a module for 5-man dungeons so that cross-realm LFD groups don't break the mod.
3.3.0.1:
- “Modules” for adding player info to corpse tooltips now have their own files, and only one module can be active at once.
- Removed support for GameTooltip replacements, since corpse names are always drawn into the original frame.
3.2.0.1: Bumped TOC for 3.2.
3.1.0.4: Fixed a conflict with the pError and other similar error filters.
3.1.0.3: Removed a leftover debuff message.
3.1.0.2: No longer spams "Target is Unfriendly" when mousing over hostile corpses.
3.1.0.1: Fixed problem with chat message filter.
3.0.9.4: Fixed Chinese localizations to exactly match GlobalStrings formats.
3.0.9.3: Added deDE, esES/esMX, frFR, and ruRU pattern localizations. The TOC "Notes" field remains unlocalized, however.
3.0.9.2: Added zhCN and zhTW localizations by Sparanoid.

That underscore's here to stay unfortunately; it's sort of my trademark naming scheme, heheh.

how does it add enemies to the friends list? :/

It doesn't. When it can't add someone to the list, that player must therefore be the wrong faction.

Originally posted by seebs

Nope, only information from the friends list like location/level/race are available to _Corpse.

It only works for languages that it's translated to. Currently, it only works with English, Korean, and recently Traditional and Simplified Chinese.

Edit: I now have the localizations for ruRU, deDE, frFR, and esES; I'll add them soon.

Nice work on a modern version the ancient, outdated CorpseInfo. This also uses far less CPU time than that one did.

One problem, though.

Originally posted by Saiket

That is frankly...not cool

. There are all sorts of (bad) reasons why people name things differently than the addon standard. As in coloring of the first letter, characters instead of a letter in the front, etc., which results in the mod not being sorted in the addon list properly.

The only thing such naming does is seriously detract from the user experience (especially when someone is running a bunch of mods). That's it.

Other, better things you could do to name your mods as special, unique snowflakes:

--put the underscore line "_" at the end of the name instead of the front in the TOC title/folder name. And/or colorize it when its there.

--Colorize the second character (and on) of the name in the TOC title. As in "Corpse" or similar. And/or put the line at the end of the name, as mentioned above. Don't colorize the first character--"C"--or it wil run into the same problem as it has now (it will be unsorted...at the end of the list of mods).

--Put your name at the end of the mod name in the TOC title.

Other than the naming problem, nice work on the mod itself.

Think of it like the naming conventions of other authors like p3lim (pCorpse) or zork (rCorpse). The underscore doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, I know, but I name my mods like that so everything I write sorts into a cluster. The utility of that outweights the "Feng shui" of the addon menu, in my opinion. Not to mention renaming everything would be time consuming and confusing for those that have used this mod since it was originally released a year ago.
