About GuildWho

GuildWho allows you to easily find out whose alt someone is, or which alts someone has. You can use slash commands to find out on whom someone is online, or print someone's alts. You can also print alts via the right click player menu in the chat and friends frame, or see alts in a tooltip via the guild roster.

Usage:

/gwho character - Find who this character is online as.
/alts character - List this character's alts.

Because of limitations in the API, if a note was updated in the last 10 seconds, your results may not be accurate!

How it works/you can make it work:

  • "Mains" are created as long as any character has a valid name in its note.
  • A valid name is the first sequence of letters (determined by [^%s%d%p]) found in the note.
  • The main does not have to be a valid character name, and if it's not, it will exist merely to link the alts together, and not appear as a real character in any of the addon's features.
  • Characters can not refer to each other, and should all refer to the same main.

TLDR: Put the name of the main character in the alts' notes.

- A custom note pattern can now be specified. The token $n goes where the main name is. Eg, "Alt-$n" (without quotation marks).
- You can now "disable" the addon for your guild by choosing to use "None" note.
- You can now specify a string which, when found in a note, will be ignored, and not recognised as a main.
- Fixed error in guild professions view.

    Hey,
    maybe you're already aware of what they do since you were able to locate the issue, but if not, what they do is make sure the user specified pattern encompasses the entire note string, and not just a part of it. So if your notes look like this

    [Alt of Lombra]

    you'd have to put

    [Alt of $n]

    (with the brackets) and not just

    Alt of $n

    Does this help you anything? I suppose I could add an option to make it match the entire string instead of forcing it.

    Love the new custom note feature, but it didn't work for me (100%) until I removed the ^ and $ from your code on line 587, so it reads:

    local pattern = db.useCustom and format("%s", db.custom:trim()) ...

    instead of

    local pattern = db.useCustom and format("^%s$", db.custom:trim()) ...

    Thanks for the great work!

    Make sure the guild notes on your alts are correct (got your main's name in them), and setup the addon to use officer notes if needed.

    doesnt work, i typed /alts Vril and got "no results" but i have alts :|

    I'm not sure how that could be done in a good way, I'm afraid. "Alt" will be interpreted as everyone's main. I just read GuildGreet's comments, however, and it seems the author is planning to add an option to support a different guild note format, "[Main]'s alt", which should work with this addon, too.

    This looks like it would be really useful... could it be set to pick up the notes that GuildGreet uses? The regular note says "Main" for the mains and "alt-Mainname" for the alts. If this addon could use those notes, then this would be a great, lighter alternative that wouldn't require set up!

    EPGP is a DKP-like system, usually used to distribute loot between raid members.

    I'm about to release a new version where you can use the regular (public) note instead of the officer note!
