HoloFriends FAQ
Important note for Asian clients:
If you drag a RealID friend for the first time in the HoloFriends friends list to move it to an other group, you are ask to type the name of the RealID friend.
Asian names may need a trailing space at the name.
Thats, because EU and US names consits of two parts, the given name and the surname. Both parts are separated by a space at the server. Some Asian names have no separate part, but the server require the space as separator to the not used surname.
Q: Does this mod show when your friends were last logged on? I find that a very useful thing.
A: HoloFriends show you for your friends the date of last seen. As I know, its only possible to get the date of last login for guild members.
Q: Anybody know what checking the little boxes does?
A: There are little check-boxes in front of the player names (have a look at the screenshot "Display all friends"). If this box is checked, then the friend is included in the in-game friends list of WoW, else the friend is only included in the friends list of HoloFriends.
Friends in the in-game friends list of WoW are online updated by the game and you see the current status. But the in-game friends list has a limit of max. 100 friends.
Friends without the checked box (only included in the friends list of HoloFriends) are not monitored by the game. The status of this friends has to be checked using the "/who" command of WoW (click the "/who scan" button). This check is relatively slow, because the game force a time break between the execution of two "/who" commands.
Q: It says "update the status of friends (>100), not monitored online by WoW, with one button click" but that doesnt make it very clear.
A: Because of the slow scan with /who for the friends, not included in the in-game friends list of WoW (check-box at the friend not checked), a status update for this friends is not done automatically. You have to start the "/who Scan" manually by one click at the red button "/who Scan" in the upper right corner of the friends list window.
Keep in Mind: If the "/who Scan" is running, the /who command will not work.
Q: Why is "set focus" disabled in some pull down menus?
A: I had to disable it, because with normal menu modifications you would get an error message "function blocked by blizzard".
The setup of the focus seem to be an overall protected function in the game. It is a feature of the game, that protected functions don't work, if there is any unsigned modification of its appearing window, in this case the pull down menu.
Thats, I included options in the HoloFriends options panel to disable the menu-modifications of HoloFriends, to enable the "set focus" pull down menu entry.
Optional I included a new method to modify pull-down menus without this problem (called tainting). But this methode uses basic menu functions, which could get changed or protected in the future. Thats, the default methode is still included.
Q: Why is in a raid in combat the raidmember window empty, if HoloFriends is loaded?
A: This should not happen anymore, because HoloFriends now uses its own independent window.
It is a feature of the game, that protected windows don't work in combat, if there is any unsigned modification of its appearing window.
The raid-window is part of the friends-window, where also the friends list window is a part of it. The friends list window was in the past modified by HoloFriends. And HoloFriends is not signed by Blizz.
Q: Is there a way to keep the groups and membership in those groups in sync across your alts?
A: Yes.
You can use a faction wide friends list for some or all your alts, where all this chars using the same friends list in HoloFriends. Also the online friends list at the server is synchronized.
Or you can manually sync single groups of your alts.
The addition to the faction wide friends list and also the sync of single groups is accomplished at the share frame of HoloFriends. You find it over the lowermost middle button at the friends list window or by navigating to "Main menu -> Interface -> Addon's -> HoloFriends -> Share friends".
To add a char to the faction wide friends list, select it from the pull down button in the upper part of the window, and click at the add button in the lower part of the window, in the faction wide friends list section. Do not mark any entry in the lists.
To share/update a group with other chars of you, select the origin char from the pull down button on top of the lists. Mark the groups to share at the check button of the group in the left list. Mark your destination chars at the right list, and click at the "add"/"update"-button below the lists. "add" only add not existing friends to the groups of the destination chars and "update" synchronice the data of all friends of the selected groups with your selected destination chars.
There is an option at the HoloFriends options panel, which allow to mark removed friends at the origin group in the group of the destination chars. Friends are moved to other selected groups automatically, but not removed from the groups. You have to remove it manually.
Q: Thanks for the intro. Will this also keep the groups and members in sync or will i have to follow this proceduce each time i add a member to a group and or create new groups? It would be great if there was an option to keep these in sync without the "update" process you described.
A: The faction wide friends list feature of HoloFriends is what you are looking for. For its use, see the description above.
The faction wide friends list is one single friends list for some or all your alts of one faction of the realm. There is no sharing anymore. All changes to the friends list are done for all chars, and the online friends lists at the WoW-server of your alts are synchronized at login.
But, there is a limit with this faction wide friends list feature: HoloFriends needs priority over the friends lists of WoW. This means, that no other friends list addon will work together with HoloFriends for the chars of you, which are using the faction wide friends list feature.
Q: I wonder if it's possible to remove a friend from one character and then sync that remove to the other characters. Ie if I remove friend X from my char and then select the other chars will it remove the friend from their lists too?
A: If you are using the faction wide friends list, the online friends lists of your alts at the server are updated to the state of the HoloFriends friends list after you login to the alt with HoloFriends loaded. Thats, if you remove a friend from the faction wide HoloFriends friends list, it is removed automaticly from the servers friends list at login to your alt.
If you are using the normal mode with single friends lists for all your alts, you have to share the group in the share panel of HoloFriends to your alts. If one friend in the shared group was removed, it is optional only marked (strike through) at the friends lists of your alts, but not removed. You have to remove it manually after login to your alt. (Thats, to allow the support of other addons.)
Q: Is there a way to automatically sync your friends lists or a way to select all the names in the manual sync? Unless I am missing something, I've only been able to sync by clicking on each individual name one at a time.
A: You can also share whole groups by checking the group. After checking, the group is collapsed, but has still the check-box checked.
Q: My other friend list addon don't work like expected if I'm using HoloFriends too. Is HoloFriends not compatible?
A: Yes / No
HoloFriends should be compatible to other addons, if you are using single friends lists for every char of you.
The faction wide friends list feature of HoloFriends is not compatible with some other friend list addons. Mainly adding or removing friends by other addons is ignored by the faction wide friends list of HoloFriends, because the faction wide friends list needs priority over the in-game friends list. Thats, if you make changes to the in-game friends list without HoloFriends loaded, the faction wide friends list of HoloFriends will undo it, the next time HoloFriends is loaded. So, if you play at different computers or don't use HoloFriends all time, you should not use the faction wide friends list feature of Holofriends.
Q: Some time ago I used HoloFriends with a faction wide friends list, but played without it for some time now. If I'm now load HoloFriends again, will it undo all my changes to the friends list I've done in the meantime?
A: If a faction wide friends list was not used for a time of more then 30 days, HoloFriends will ask you at login, if you want to load it and undo all other changes or start with your actual single in-game friends list. The faction wide friends list still exist, and you can access it over the sharing window.

Hey! Thank you for this great addon. I just installed it and it works like a charm. There is just one little thing: Since I installed the addon, I periodically (every few seconds) get the /who Output from a seemingly random character in my friend list. I don't have any characters on the list that has to be checked with the /who method as I only have about 30 friends on my list in total.
Is there a way to remove this output as it gets really annoying?
By the way - I use the German version, in case it makes any difference.
Greetings
/who scans should only be executed by HoloFriends in two cases:
In both cases the who scan messages are suppressed. But only, if the server send the answer to the who request in less than 5.1 seconds, which is one round trip time for the who command.
To your Problem:
If the class of all your friends is known to HoloFriends, the display of the who results should stop.
My questions:
Is your internet connection very slow or works with some delay? Please, try this out by executing "/who {any online player}" at the command line some times, and measuring the time to the display of the results. Takes this arround 4 to 5 seconds?
Please, activate the display of the class icons or player names in class colors in the HoloFriends options. Is the class icon or the class color shown for all friends (online and offline)?
Thanks for your help.
Thx for the GREATE WORK! U AR THE BEST!
Thanks again! Just wanted to let you know that your fix works!
Glad I could help! :D
I found the problem. Its a problem with all monks. I will submit a fix soon.
I can confirm now that it's happening with another Monk, too. Do you use a regular expression to get the class? That's the place I would look... Too bad I have zero experience with LUA or I could be of more help to you. The problem seems to be only with monks, in any case.
Thanks for the hint. I will check, if the umlaut in the german localization give the problem.
Thanks for the very quick and detailed reply. I've been working on this some more and it seems like the problem was only due to one player that Holofriends was unable to get the class of. It was a Panda monk - maybe the problem is because Monk is Mönch in German, using the "Umlaut" ö?
I can see the classes of all my other friends. And I also have a pretty fast Internet Connection, so normally, I do get the response quickly. The Players name doesn't have any fancy accents like '^`´´ etc, just plain Pandaniax. It only happens with this character, the problem goes away if I remove him and comes back when I add him.
Thank you again for this great addon :)
Holofriends current release has issues adding people to friends. Instead when I try and invite it just repeats the last whisper I got from someone. Also when I add someone and manage to actually add them. Holofriends removes them as soon as they were added. Sadly until it behaves I had to disable it again. Looking for when it works like it used to.
Hi darkreign,
Thanks, for the bug report. I tried to reproduce the problem, and indeed, if you are using a faction wide friends list, and not using the buttons in the friends window or the menu additions by HoloFriends to add friends, but an in-game menu or in-game button like at the who-window, friends are not added to the friends list.
This problem is only affecting users of the faction wide friends list feature of HoloFriends. Because, HoloFriends with the faction wide friends list feature needs priority over the in-game friends list. Thats, only HoloFriends buttons can add friends to the faction wide friends list of HoloFriends.
If you are not using the buttons at the HoloFriends window or the menu modifications by HoloFriends, but some UI-addon to add friends to the friends list, you can not use the faction wide friends list feature of HoloFriends.
I will look for a solution to modify other UI buttons. But you should use the buttons in the Friends list window to add your target to the friends list, or activate the pull-down menu modifications by HoloFriends in the HoloFriends options panel, and use the pull-down menus in the target, who, or chat window to add friends. This should work.
Please, tell me, if this helps, or if there are additional problems. If so, please describe how you add the friends to the friends list.
Please, use the latest version b0.460-5.0.04 of HoloFriends. This version should bring your friends list back.
Hi darkreign11,
Are you talking about the problem from your post #162 which you posted 9 hours earlier, or is there an other problem you have with HoloFriends?
If you got a repeat of the last whisper during the use of the friends list, this would be an other problem, which I could not reproduce. Can you reproduce this problem? Is this happen also with the use of the solution in my answer to post #162, or during other operations?
Help would be very welcome.
This advice even from the creator is incorrect. Have the same issue and more. And I am using the very very latest release. Add a friend it poofs right away. Add a friend I get a repeat of the last whisper said to me (not sure how that happens). It actually removed friends (not just hid them). Even disabling Holofriends those certain friends were gone. I had to actually add them back. This is the only add-on I use to manage my friends list. So doubtful DBM and others that do not mess with friends list. Are deleting and preventing additions to it.
So in the end HoloFriends for me and poster (seems like same issue), and who knows how many others .. is broken. And will remain so until such time the issues are looking into and corrected. I really love this add-on but can not use it in this state.
