About flagRSP MoP

Description

flagRSP MoP is an add-on that allows you to set a title, a whole name (with firstname and surname) as well as setting a character status and a roleplaying flag. Other users of this add-on will be able to see these flags and you will be able to see theirs. This is mainly useful for RP servers, but there's nothing preventing you from using this on servers of other types. Feel free to report any bugs or request features here.

flagRSP MoP (formerly known as flagRSP BC, flagRSP WotLK, and flagRSP Cataclysm) is the original flagRSP add-on updated and enhanced for the World of Warcraft 5.0 patch. This continued version bases on the work done by Flokru and Adriathys.

Please note that flagRSP MoP will make changes to your tooltips. This may conflict with other addons that manipulate the tooltip. If this occurs, you can turn tooltip alteration off and won't run into any trouble.

Version information for v1.2.2 (compatible to WoW 5.2)

As always with a new version it's a very good idea to make an update of your flagrsp files ("YourWowDirectory/WTF/Account/YourAccountName/SavedVariables/flagRSP.lua" and "YourWowDirectory/WTF/Account/YourAccountName/CharacterName/SavedVariables/flagRSP.lua" for each character). Just rename them (for example to flagRSPbak.lua) or copy them somewhere else (or zip them).

The friendlist is going to be changed in 1.2.2. So when you log in, the names in the Friendlist will look like "Sye (Syeira) Ravenwing". The rp name is now handled completely independent from the ingame name. That means, the ingamename must be exactly the name of the character ingame or the charname-servername (without spaces) for people from other servers. But the rp name you can just change to what you want.

The good news is, that this change in the friendlist structure allows you to create flags for people without any flagaddon - or even for people from CROSSREALMS!

How crossrealm friends works:

  1. Take your new friend into the target
  2. Click on the "Add Friend"-button at the bottom of the flagRSP friendlist
  3. The ingame name is filled automatically, e.g. "Syeira-Forscherliga" for other realms than yours, or just "Syeira" if it is from your realm
    1. If you have no target, or want to add someone else, you have to insert the correct ingame name like "Syeira-Forscherliga" or "Syeira"
  4. Fill in the firstname and surname (or just one...), title, notes and set the friendstate
    1. If the new friend is from your own realm and has a flag addon, the rp info is taken from the flag infos
  5. Click the "Add" button
  6. Enjoy :)

FlagRSP will now use the information of the friendlist as a tooltip, if no flag is present.

Unfortunately, the direct addon communication between cross realm zones is still not working, but with this way you can do it manually:

You make a character on the foreign realm, e.g. "Argent Dawn". Go to the people you want the flag from, and mouseover them. Wait a little until you can see their flags. Then you can logout and switch back to your character. The next time you see them, you should have a flag for them (but it might be outdated). Also, you should set a higher purgeflagintervall for flagRSP via

/rsp purgeflaginterval X

(X in seconds). For example clears /rsp purgeflaginterval 4838400 all flags older than 2 months (the default is 14 days).

Features

  • Set one of four roleplaying flags to show other players your preferred roleplaying style.
  • Set one of four character states to show other players how much in character you currently are or if you are searching for contact
  • Choose a first name for your character.
  • Choose a last name for your character.
  • Choose a title for your character.
  • Add a description of the outward appearance of your character.
  • All those attributes mentioned above will be visible to other users of flagRSP or compatible addons.
  • An enhanced friend list that can hold an unlimited number of entries.
  • You can add players, NPCs and even whole guilds of both factions to your friend list.
  • You can mark characters, guilds and NPCs on your friend list as known, friend or foe.
  • Add detailed notes to your friends or foes in your friend list.
  • Replace exact level information of all units by relative ones (from “extremely puny” to “hopelessly superior”).
  • Hide names of unknown players.
  • Characters marked as foe will be signalized acoustically when hovering them with your mouse cursor.
  • Make PVP rank, title, guild and guild rank of other characters visible in your tooltip. Or hide them!
  • flagRSP's tooltip modifications can be turned off if needed to avoid conflicts with other tooltip addons.
  • Every feature is optional.

Compatibility

flagRSP MoP now supports the MarySue protocol (MSP). As there should be only one addon implementing MSP, you should only run one of flagRSP, FlagRSP2, TotalRP 2 or MyRolePlay.

Localization

flagRSP MoP is fully translated to English, German, Italian and Russian language. Translations for other languages are wanted, so if you like, feel free to send me your own. A French localization which covers about 90 percent is included.

Trouble shooting

Common problems can be solved by simple commands you type into your chat window.

  • ''/rsp resetinfobox'' — This will reset the position of the infobox that displays your target's character description. This is useful if you accidentally moved the infobox out of scope.
  • "/rsp resetbutton" — This will reset the button that typically appears above your target frame. The button is movable so it is possible to move it behind other ui elements. The command will reset it to the target frame.
  • ''/rsp alwaysinfobox'' — By default flagRSP remembers if a target's description window was shown or hidden the last time you clicked on it. You can use this to command if you want your description window to always pop up automatically when you click on a flagged target. You can use this command to return to default behavior as well.
  • "/fl mm an" — Displays the button at the minimap.
  • "/fl mm aus" — Hides the button at the minimap.
  • ''/fl show'' — Shows your friendlist and your flagRSP settings.
  • ''/fl hide — Hides the friendlist frame.
  • ''/rsp'' — Shows a couple of useful commands regarding some flagRSP core features.
  • ''/fl'' — Shows a couple of useful commands regarding some friendlist frame features.

    Hello Typhix,

    I tried to contact you privately without receiving any response. I do not know if it depends on my subscription to the site, but I write here that if you want I can take care of the location of the add-on in Italian. It is not complicated and you would have a quality localization, because of my skill in my language (Italian) and previous experience of translation into other areas. Let me know if you are interested, because I would have to ask you more about it.

    Thanks

    Hi Aledus

    Thanks for your Italian translation for flagRSP mop :) Typhix has forwarded it to me and I embed and upload it in the next release of flagRSP MoP.

  • #161

    Aledus,

    I'm sorry that I wasn't able to answer your message yet. Of course we would really appreciate an Italian localization for flagRSP MoP.

    The simplest way to translate and to test will be this:

    1. Open your flagRSP MoP folder. You will find it in Interface/Addons/flagRSP within your WoW installation path.
    2. There is a localization.lua file in that folder. Open it with any text editor you like. (You can also use either localization.de.lua, localization.fr.lua or localization.ru.lua if you usually use flagRSP in German, French or Russian)
    3. Now replace all the English (German/French/Russian) text strings in there with suitable Italian strings.
    4. Save the file and start your copy of World of Warcraft. Now flagRSP should show up with your Italian translations. Check if everything is ok and if all the texts fit in.
    5. Send your altered file to either Kiyal or me. We will add that file for Italian WoW clients then.

    If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to ask. I promise, I will answer quicker next time (so sorry).

    Thanks a lot for your patience and your offer to improve flagRSP.

    @the author of the addon

    Great work ^^ I've been using this version of Flag for almost a year now but recently i've been forced to use the older FlagRSP 2 version because of some really annoying bug that weren't there in the other version. Don't missunderstand, overall the addon is great and i love the friend list but to update the character description, titles, name and surename it takes ages, my friends had the same problem, a fix would be great, thanks  :)

    I just started playing WoW again a few days ago, but I haven't seen any issues yet. Does this happen if you run flagRSP solely, too?

    Hi, I was wondering if FlagRSP will be making the move to the same communication protocol as the other RP "flag" mods use? It would be ever so useful to avoid it tying up a channel, and I suppose it would improve communication between mods too... I really couldn't imagine using any other Flag mod, so I would really hope FlagRSP will continue to be developed!

  • #157

    I’ll see if I can get round to converting it over during the Christmas break, as it’s the last holdout and Typhix has been kind enough to grant me permission.

  • #153

    Is there any chance of there being a way to enable only the friends list feature - particularly for the tooltip? I absolutely love the friends list feature of flagRSP Cata, but my new server uses myRP almost exclusively and three addons (myRP, an edited version of Cowtip and flagRSP Cata) all trying to get conflicting information into my tooltips is overload and does not always work right.

  • #154

    Unfortunately there isn't. But you can turn off flagRSP's tooltip modification. It's somewhere in the settings (Tooltip style ==> Default Style)

  • #155

    Sadface. Alrighty, thanks.

  • #147
    Tonight on my server, someone decided to password protect the xtensionxtooltipx2 channel that FlagRSP uses. We've so far been unsuccessful in removing the password requirement, so it pops up every time FlagRSP tries to connect to it, until people have to disable their mod.

    Pretty low to troll RP (or users of a different mod), but that's people for you.

    Perhaps Flag should reconsider moving to the MSP protocols. It'd be nice to only run 1 mod again and still see everyone anyway.
  • #149
    This AddOn is now, as of tonight, the last holdout running the original RSP protocol. I’ll have a word with the author, as I guess I can help update this one too?

    MSP-compatible AddOns—all of which can talk to each other—include MyRolePlay 4.2.0.88, FlagRSP2 2.5, and TotalRP2 1.011.
  • #151
    Yeah, I've since moved to only MyRP now since FlagRSP2 is a bit more popular on my server than Flag Cata it seems. I do like the features of Flag Cata (which is why I used it over Flag2), but the channel silliness is a bit much.

    I made info posts on my guild forums and my server's story site letting them know about the differing mods (not everyone realizes there are 2 different FlagRSPs out there!) and which ones are now compatible.
  • #150
    I really hope this one gets updated, as well. I've always loved the interface, and the Friendlist feature--I would be crippled without that!
  • #152
    See that "Additional Authors" line up there? I think you know what that means. :)

    Give me a couple weeks, I have some IRL stuff to sort out too...!
