About AutoText

About AutoText

AutoText is an addon for managing whispers, tells and other messages that you send frequently. You can use it for strats, raid assignments, vent info and many other things.

Each message can be assigned to a category to let you group up messages in whatever way you like. Examples might include Officer, Raid, General, etc. The category is used to group related messages in the configuration UI and in the LibDataBroker tooltip.

Feature ideas or requests should be filed as Tickets on the CurseForge Project Site

Slash Commands

The following slash commands are available:

Slash Command Description
/autotext Pops up the configuration screen used to create and manage messages
/at Same as /autotext
/atsay name Sends the message with the given shortcut name
/atlist Lists all configured messages

Message Targets

Each message can be configured to be sent to one of many different
targets:

Target Equivalent WoW Slash Command
SAY /say
WHISPER /w (will popup a dialog asking for the target of the whisper)
YELL /y
PARTY /p
GUILD /g
OFFICER /o
RAID /ra
RAID_WARNING /rw
BATTLEGROUND /bg
REPLY /r (will reply to the last person who sent you a whisper)
TARGET Sends the message to your current target
GROUP Automatically determines the correct group (Battleground, Raid or Party).

Token substitution

In the message text, you can use a special token and the addon will replace it with the appropriate
text. The format of the token is:

${unitid}

Where unitid is any of the valid unitids from the WoW API.
See http://www.wowwiki.com/UnitId for more information.

Examples:

${target}
${mouseover}
${focus}

Feature Backlog

The following features are under consideration for a future release:

  • Custom channel support (COMING SOON!)
  • Direct slash commands (e.g. /mymessage instead of /atsay mymessage)
  • Share messages w/ other AutoText users? (for sharing vent info w/ officers etc.)
  • Localization

    It would be nice if there were folders that I could put items in. I could imagine having many many entries. For example, advice for specific trash as well as instance bosses - regulars and heroics separately.
  • #16
    Very usefull for lazy guys like me! ;) Is there a way to use emotes? I tried /point with the normal /say channel but it seems to just say "/point" instead of firing the emote. That would be the final addition to make it perfect.
  • #15
    This seems great but not as useful as I'd like without being able to set it to custom channels or maybe even trade if you were wanting to advertise your prof every few minutes.

    From above: "The category is used to group related messages in the configuration UI and in the FuBar tooltip"

    There is no icon in FuBar. Broker is terrible and I would love to see a FuBar icon.

    This addon kicks so much ass, I need to help others use it. Things you need with the current version (AutoText v1.4-Release):
    - AutoText
    - A LibDataBroker visualizer. Fortress works great for me. The reason some of you aren't seeing the window/bar for the tooltip is because you don't have a LibDataBroker display addon. For some reason, it doesn't show up with Broker2Fubar.

    Quaiche is probably hasn't had time to add any in-game instructions yet, so read the readme file! Once it's set up it's very easy to use. What I did was create a new category called MANUAL and copy and pasted the readme file into there. (Making sure it's set to Whisper in case I accidentally click it.)

    I have installed AutoText and it is working well with the slash commands.However, I can't find the mouseover tooltip box shown above so that I can click on a message to send it. Please could you tell me how to do this. Thanks.

    Any 3.1 Updates?
  • #8
    Can an item [LINK] be placed in the Context? For item or mats announcements?
  • #7
    Please expand this addons to include the general and trade channel.
    I've often see people type: "LF enchanter" or similar and I'd like to auto-link my prof to them.
  • #6
    Mazzledazzle - Try 1.4 and let me know if you still have issues. Thanks!
  • #5

    This addon wont even work for me, I am very interested in it.. But it wont even turn on. It says its on in the addons. Its updated too, But when I go on and type /at or /autotext Please help me because I am very interested.

    Also: Tell me what addon I need if I need an addon to go along with this. Tell me step by step if you could please because this seems more confusing then the avrage addon.

    Nice Addon.

    Thanks.

    Anyone who was getting an error at load time about not finding Tablet-2.0, it should be fixed in v1.3-release.
