About FlagRSP2

FlagRSP2 is an AddOn for World of Warcraft that allows players to add additional information about their characters into the game. It is designed to support role players and allow others with MSP compatible AddOns to easily see if the character is a role player or is even in character. Characters can be fleshed out with additional names, titles, and detailed descriptions.

FlagRSP2 is a continuation of flagRSP 0.5.6 by Flokru. FlagRSP2 is a completely new code base designed to be more efficient and play well with other AddOns. As of 2.5, FlagRSP2 uses the new Mary Sue Protocol to communicate, and no longer uses chat channels.

If your FlagRSP2 copy is OLDER than 1.5.x you should delete the FlagRSP2 directory first!(The Curse Client will do this for you if you use that.) Copy the "flagRSP2" folder into your World of Warcraft AddOns folder. Before selecting your character and entering the game other MSP RP AddOns such as MyRolePlay must be disabled to prevent conflicts.

If you really like this AddOn and would like to help support it, there are a couple of things you can do. You can help by providing clear bug reports that try to accurately describe the problem and screenshots are helpful. Submit your trouble ticket here.

    flagRSP2 2.5.2 fixes a bug which permitted people to put colours (and, importantly, possibly dangerous or misleading pipe control characters) in their name via nefarious means. (The same bug was also fixed in MRP 4.2.0.92 a couple of hours ago.)

  • #526

    2.5.3 fixes a bug in 2.5.2. (The “cleaning” function won’t destroy trailing numbers anymore.)

    I am having nothing but issues with this addon since recent patches... It has a tendancy to cut off my RSP description in the middle of words or paragraphs. Also, the box is very small, and often only shows 1-5 lines and requires a lot of scrolling to see everything.

    It is very popular on my realm, but I'm also using TotalRP2 as a back up, since this addons also likes to delete my RSPs randomly.

    The only reason I continue to use it is because everyone else does, and it allows me to simply click on users for me to see their RSP instead of having to look them up in a directory.

    Are you certain you’re using the latest version (2.5.0 Release)?

    Please do not use more than one MSP-compatible AddOn at the same time: that’s totally unnecessary and will cause various problems, perhaps the ones you describe.

    As for it losing your RSPs, I haven’t been able to reproduce any similar issues. Remember you need to click Okay next to a field to save any changes made to it. Also, remember that if WoW force-quits/crashes, all AddOns lose any changes made that session, because they’re only saved on a clean logout—that’s beyond any AddOn author’s control. If you’re losing settings more generally, please see Blizzard’s Technical Support forum. Is there any pattern to it? Does it happen when flagRSP2 is used on its own?

    Is there something going on recently that is making FlagRSP2 show multiple guild names or multiple tags on the tooltips? I had thought it might be a complication with TipTac (which I use to customize the appearance of my tooltips), but I disabled it entirely to test FlagRSP, as did a guildie of mine... and we're both experiencing the same issue of multiplying lines in our tooltips upon mouseover or targeting of each other. To the extent of... I'll eventually stack up like 5 lines of and so forth. Another guildie is seeing duplicating guild names, which seems to be triggered by mouseovering, and actually selecting the target gets rid of the duplicate line.
  • #520
    Took a screenie. I don't even have Tiptac installed, neither does our guildie, but we both have FlagRSP2 and we both see double guild names occasionally. Guildie also sees double guild on my tooltip, and he doesn't have Tiptac, just FlagRSP2.

    Possibly something else; any other AddOns that might reference the tooltip?

    I haven’t really changed tooltip handling at all.
  • #522
    When I log in, here's an LUA error that pops up, where it appears that FlagRSP is fighting with TipTac:

    Message: Interface\AddOns\TipTac\core.lua:1072: attempt to index upvalue 'cfg' (a nil value)
    Time: 07/26/11 04:40:58

    Interface\AddOns\Ace3\AceAddon-3.0\AceAddon-3.0.lua:628: in function

    Ideally, I would prefer to have FlagRSP's titles/text/In Character sort of stuff, while letting TipTac control the background and appearance of the tooltip. However, no matter how I mess with the settings, they don't seem to want to work together. And I presume the duplicating and tags are a result of this. :\

    But as Dreee mentioned, we have other guildies not using TipTac who are also seeing the duplicating lines, for some reason.

    after updating to 2.5 on 4.2 release it seems to be really slow on updating RSP descriptions, a friend of mine who race changed from a Gnome to a Draenei roughly a week ago and his description still hasnt updated for me to reflect his changes he made way back then.
  • #518
    Has he updated too?
  • #516
    Is there a way to make the default size of the description popup window?

    This is the sole reason I'm considering using MRP instead... even when I manually take the tiny box I'm presented with and make it larger... it's still extremely tiny for each new person I meet. I'm frankly tired of spending so much time resizing :P

    Can you just add the feature of being able to set a default box size so I don't go absolutely crazy, if possible? @_@

    FlagRSP2 2.5.0 has now been released. This is a major update:—

    - Updated for WoW 4.2.
    - The prefix and suffix fields have changed to a single Name field that you can edit as you wish: yes, this means you can now edit your first name too. (Don’t worry, your profile will be automatically converted.)
    - FlagRSP2 2.5.0 uses the new “Mary Sue Protocol” (MSP) to communicate, instead of chat channels like earlier versions.
    - It communicates with all other MSP RP AddOns (in particular, including MyRolePlay).
    - Do not try to use it at the same time as other MSP RP AddOns (i.e. MyRolePlay) as this will cause a conflict (which you will be warned about). You don’t need to run more than one MSP AddOn: they can all talk to each other, so simply pick whichever AddOn you prefer to use.

    Other than that, it's the same great FlagRSP2 taste you already know and love. Feedback is warmly appreciated!

    Yaaaay, FlagRSP2 update! Noticed a bug when "Use Default Tooltip" is checked, though - the RP status flags are not shown, regardless of whether the relevant option is checked or not. Tracked it down to line 465, which should probably be changed to read

    local finalline = flagRSP2GenerateStatusLine(unit, cName)

    Instead of just the method call by itself. That's fixed things on my end, at least. ^^

    One other thing (and this is more of a minor gripe about design style than anything else) I find it kind of annoying that the tooltip code in options.lua explicitly sets the GameTooltip back to the default backdrop/colors when Use Default Tooltips is checked. I for one use that setting so that FlagRSP plays nice with other mods that change the appearance of the tooltip. As such, with that wee block of code in place (lines 183-192), TipTac and FlagRSP fight to the death over what the GameTooltip looks like whenever I mouse over anything in the options window, and the result is depressingly ugly. I imagine others who are in the same position (but aren't as code-savvy to comment out this functionality) would appreciate that the options code mirror the rest of the mod's tendency to only change /content/ of the GameTooltip, not its appearance, whenever Use Default Tooltip is checked.

    Regardless, thanks for a great compatibility update, and the continued upkeep of flagRSP.

    Thanks very much for such a detailed report. I'll have a look at that stuff tomorrow, test those changes and commit them if they check out OK.
  • #510
    2.5.0 beta 2 (r155) merges several fixes to the tooltip handling (Light Mode should not completely kill TipTac anymore, and the overall handling isn't quite so random and it shouldn't go black when you least expect it; however, I have kept the edges black as I'm honestly not sure if this is a deliberate design feature or the result of a cosmetic bug!), and the database browser (the bit where you right-click on the minimap icon and see the collected profiles: it now works, and updates automatically when open, although do be aware MSP doesn't just grab profiles while standing around, you do have to mouseover someone to get their profile).

    Considering this as a possible release candidate. Seems to work OK in 4.2 PTR as well. Let me know if any troubles arise.
