About Resurrection Enhancement System (Res)

The Resurrection Enhancement System (Res) automatically sends a notification, via the chat channel of your choice, that you are casting the resurrection spell and who it is that you are resurrecting. Res also includes an Options window for easy set up and a toggle button to quickly and easily disable the addon. Within this window, you can also type a custom message that will appear after the Resurrection message and even customize the icon to your liking.

As of Version 1.1 the Smart channel has now been made available. This means that before announcing the resurrection, Res will dynamically determine which channel is appropriate. The rules for this determination are as follows:

  1. If you are in a Scenario, then announce the resurrection in the /sc channel.
  2. If you are in a Warband, then announce the resurrection in the /wb channel.
  3. If you are in a Party, then announce the resurrection in the /p channel.
  4. If non of the above, then announce the resurrection in the /s channel.

Version 1.2 introduces the ability to check to see if the resurrection failed and if so then announces the failure. Fixed a bug where the addon only worked for the English version of the game. Taught Res to speak German. Lastly the Resurrection Enhancement System will no longer send any notifications to the Advice channel, instead the notification will be redirected to the Say channel.

In version 1.2.1 Res has learned to speak French. Also fixed a bug where the incorrect name was announced when the friendly target changed between the casting of the spell and the failure of the spell.

Version 1.3 are changes to the core code to cater for the 1.3.6 patch changes.

  • Yak for the idea of the Smart channel and the majority of the German translations.
  • Beregard for being my international tester and the rest of the German translations.
  • nicoolaas for the French translations.

Note: This addon has a dependency on the Libslash addon in order to run.

Further Note: If you would like Res to speak in your native language please click here and add the appropriate translations.

    can you make this more generic?

    Current usage:
    Cast Resurrection Ability
    /wb Casting Resurrection on *****!

    for example:
    User must Set X ability
    User must Set Y text
    Cast X Ability
    /wb Y text!

    Possible?
  • #19
    Sure. It will be a bugger to test though as not all abilities act the same (i.e. Clicking the Guard ability a second time will turn it off but it doesn't trigger the StartCast event and you would probably want a different saying for that event).

    I'll look into it after I've finished the Banana Guard addon.

    Just a heads up:

    Yesterday the advice channel on our server was getting spammed by automated res notices from this addon. Sent a whisper to the protagonist and then I was getting the spam as personal /tell messages.

    maybe misconfiguration, I don't know as I haven't used the addon myself.

  • #15
    Thats the default channel option. It means that which ever channel you last sent a message via, that will be the channel that Res will notify on.

    It's one of the reasons I liked and developed Yak's Smart Channnel idea because if the user is too forgetful to change the channel to suit their current fighting environment Smart Channel will track and select the appropriate channel for you.

    hi medikage, have downloaded the addon and like it lots, very nice.

    I still can't see a purpose in the default channel sending to advice/tell/region etc and you may want to filter these before people get on too many ignore lists, or remove the default channel option entirely.
  • #20
    The default channel is to really cover all contingencies, enabling the user to communicate the ressurection across channels that aren't readily set in the Options.

    I have deliberately used it to communicate in the tell channel when I was in a group with 1 other healer so that I could see the dark blue coloured text out of the corner of my eye and know the other healer is ressing.

    Having said that, I agree that the advice channel shouldn't be used in this way and have added code to detect the advice channel and redirect it to /say channel instead.
  • #24
    Hey, Medi. Perhaps, add a button in the configuration screen. "Allow RES to use /tell". You could, I suppose do it for every channel, too, but that's entirely up to you.
  • #25
    The only channel I'm blocking is the /default channel, every other channel is usable by Res.
    It's just not that obvious for /tell as it is a bit of a tricky one because this channel requires something that the other channels don't, a player's name.
    Unlike the party channel where you can type /p , the tell channel requires /t and that becomes harder to cater for.

    That's not to say Res can't communicate on the /tell channel. It's a bit round about, but if you set the Res channel to the Default channel and then chat to your intened target using the /tell channel, the next time Res communicates it will be on that same /tell channel.

    I hope that made sense.

    Any chance you can make a version for guard ability? So every time I change guard to someone they are notified that they have it. Also be nice if there was an option telling the person who I changed guard from that they no longer have it.
  • #11
    Nice idea. I'll look into it today and checkout the viability but I don't see why it couldn't be done.
  • #12
    This would be an awesome addon. Very handy for everyone to know who is guarding who.
  • #13
    Agreed. It is written and I have my favorite BO protector testing it for me while I work on the graphics. Should be up and ready early next week.
  • #17
    Remember that Guard is party only ... so the smart channel should be:

    1. If you are in a Scenario, then announce the guard change in the /sp channel.
    2. If you are in a Warband, then announce the guard change in the /p channel.
    3. If you are in a Party, then announce the guard change in the /p channel.
    4. If non of the above, then a hand pops out of the monitor and slaps you in the back of the head while a pop up tells you that guard requires you to be in a group.
  • #23
    It got a little bigger than just sending chat messages about who your guarding, but the Guard Enhancemeny System addon has now been released.

    I have a problem using this addon.
    I am playing with my healer, and after loading the addons it says the following:
    "Resurrection ability not located. Res has turned itself off."

    The addon is also marked yellow in the addon list, which says it is not working properly. I have also tried to run it stand alone with libshlash, but the problem still exists. I would appreciate, if you could help me solving that problem, because it would love to use an addon like this.
