About FriendsShare Resurrection

FriendsShare Resurrection is an AddOn that lets you keep the same friends list across characters, on a per server basis.

If you add or remove someone from your friends list and relog to an alt, that person will be added/removed from the alts friends list as well. Also, any entries on that alts list which isn't in the global list, will be added to the other characters whenever you log them in.

Basically, you never have to manually rebuild your friends list when creating alts, or worry about keeping them current on all your alts.

This all works seamlessly without any user intervention.

As an additional plus, if Blizzard decides to clean out the friends list, this Addon will automatically rebuild your friend list. This clean out happens sometimes during server maintenance. :-)

Known issue: If you try to add someone to your friends list and the server won't let you do it (say, if a Horde char tries to add an Alliance char to the list, or you misspell the name), that entry will still end up on the global list, and so you'll get the error message you got trying to add it, every time you log on. So, if this happens to you, do '/friendsshare rebuild' and the global list will be rebuilt from that char's list, and all invalid entries discarded.

This Addon was written originally by Oystein, all credit belongs to him.

Please check the main page of FriendsShare Resurrection here.

Version 17 * Updated TOC for WoW 4.3.0

Version 16 * Updated TOC for WoW 4.0.1 * this is no longer defined

Version 15 * #5 - Fixed a case where the character name was not correctly converted to lower case before writing to the database. * Updated TOC for WoW 3.3.5 * Discontinued XML file. * Removed FriendsShare_ prefix on local variables

Version 14 * Updated TOC for WoW 3.2 * Added link to project main page at http://code.google.com/p/friends-share-resurrection/

Version 13 * Does no longer remove empty notes on every login. * Player names in the console output are now correctly capitalized.

Version 12 * Sync ignore list * Updated TOC for WoW 3.1.0

Version 11 * Sync notes

Version 10 * Updated TOC for WoW 3.0.2

Version 9 * No longer tries to add itself to the friend list.

Version 8 * Updated TOC for WoW 2.3.0

Version 7 * Switched back to PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD in the hope that this solves the crash problems.

Version 6 * Use the ADDON_LOADED event instead of PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD to see when we are ready to go. This event seams more appropriate. * Do not try to sync the friend list if it failed within the last 5 seconds. This should hopefully save the sync failed SPAM loop.

Version 5 * Updated TOC for WoW 2.0.3

Version 4 * There was a problem when you target a player and add him to the friendlist.

Version 3 * Way better event handling (resolves the race condition during login which could crash the WoW client). Inspired by "Friend & Ignore Share v1.3, thanks Vimrasha. * Fixed the "gfind" Lua 5.1 syntax change problem.

Version 2 (based on 1.1 from Oystein) * Catch the case where the friend list is not yet loaded from the server. Try again later if the list was not ready the first time. * Mention which chars were added or removed from the friend list. * Delete first, then add new friends. * Lua 5.1 syntax change (had to use pairs()) * added suffix FriendsShare_ to global variables * removed myAddOns code

    Can anyone tell me, is this addon going to be updated for 4.3 or is it a dead project?

    This addon keeps removing people I add to the ignore list just because they are in my guild...???  Can you please fix this.  I really do want to ignore one of our guild members on ALL my alts!!!

    I like this addon, but it's so disagreeable sometimes.

    I add a friend, switch to an alt, it removes the new friend.

    I add a friend, rebuild, it removes the new friend.

    The only way I can usually make it accept new friends is to uninstall it, add the friend, then reinstall the addon.

    This isn't every time I friend someone, it's random. This morning I tried to friend three people, one got successfully added, two of them I'm getting the behavior above.

    Great addon. One problem, instead of removing friends on an alt when I removed them from my main, it records my alt list and readds the removed friend on my main, even if I use rebuild. Also, I think there should be a clearcut option to save a list based on one character and then instead of auto-messing with another toon, execute an option to force the friendslist of the saved toon onto another toon.

    any chance you could make it so that it actually tries LATER instead of every 15 seconds?

    I am having a problem where friends that are no longer playing and not on my list but may have been at one point are still trying to be loaded and I am getting errors when first logging in to all of my alts. It says "Adding so and so to friendshare" then it goes to yellow text and says "Player not found". How do I stop this? As stated I have checked all of my alts and these names are not on any of my lists.

    Thanks

    Just type

    /friendsshare rebuild

    once and it recreates its internal database.
