Hoot

Version: 0.91 beta

by: tsadok [More]

Hoot is inspired by Tw****r , and allows you to post bursts of erudite wisdom in bursts of 151 characters or less. What separates Hoot from Trade Chat is the ability to comment on hoots, and to post current status. Mousing over a hoot by someone will reveal their name, level, class, sex, the status they posted, location, and recent kills (see the picture).

To begin, type /hoot or bind a key to "Show Hoot Window".

This is still very much a beta release. Error reports and suggestions are very welcome.

0.91 beta
Fixed a problem where Hoot might sometimes fail on login (thanks to Folji)

==========
0.9 beta
When you come online, Hoot will now request and update recent hoots from players you are following.

Code: Interface\AddOns\Hoot\Hoot.lua:472: Interface\AddOns\Hoot\Hoot.lua:133: 'date' format too long Count: 1 Call Stack: (tail call): ? [C]: ? [C]: ? Interface\AddOns\Hoot\Hoot.lua:472: in function <Interface\AddOns\Hoot\Hoot.lua:459> This one only happens when I uncheck the use 24 hour clock in the options if I have that checked this error doesn't happen. Code: Interface\AddOns\Hoot\Hoot.lua:472: cannot resume dead coroutine Count: 99 Call Stack: (tail call): ? [C]: ? [C]: ? Interface\AddOns\Hoot\Hoot.lua:472: in function <Interface\AddOns\Hoot\Hoot.lua:459> This error is the big one, Anytime try and use hoot type something and hit enter it does this error which then in return just keeps looping, Which cause me not to be able to exit wow or anything so I have to alt-f4 our.

That's a bit mysterious. The error occurs when the empty string is passed to date() (see here) but there is no way I can see that could happen. I've made the variables upvalues (private, so not possible to tamper with them) for the next version.

Now I just have to talk my girlfriend into adding it too, just so I have someone else to "hoot" at on my server...

Cool, thanks. I set aside to today to test with other people but the people willing to help haven't been addon-savvy
