About LFG Forwarder

(Now there is a Trade Channel edition : Trade Forwarder)

Since wow 3.3, the LFG channel is no longer worldwide, it can only be joined while you are in cities. You can never get infos while out gathering or in dungeons. The serious inconvenience leads to the idea of this addon.

After installing LFG Forwarder, you will join a HIDDEN channel automatically. The addon communicates with others who has also installed it, to choose one in LFG channel, who will afterwards forward the message he saw in LFG to the HIDDEN channel. Therefore others can get LFG messages from the HIDDEN channel wherever they are.

This addon is published to Taiwan WoW players on 2010/1/26, and has been downloaded nearly 2000 times in just a few days. Hundreds of players helped me testing, to prove that it is a very useful addon.

You should know that LFGForwarder only works when at least two players of the same realm and same side installed it. You can't receive LFG messages if no one with this addon is in cities. Tell your friends to get and try this addon. The more players installed LFGForwarder, the more unlikely you will stop receiving LFG messages.

You can config the color and to which Chat Frame that the forwarded message will be shownm, by modifying the "LFGForwarderllll" channel setting in chat frames' settings page.

Some commands:

  • /lfw Temporarily stop showing the forwarded LFG messages. You can press a modified key and click the Look for Dungeon button on main action bar to switch show/hide state.
  • /lfw list A shortcut to see the player list who are in the hidden channel. ( who has installed LFGForwarder)
  • /lfw <message..> Send the message to players who installed LFGForwarder

IMPORTANT NOTICE - FAKE MESSAGE ISSUES

Because one can easily mimic the message format that LFGForwarder uses, the forwarded messages you see in [LFW] channel may be "FAKE" ones. Always pay attension on the fowarder name whichi is shown at the head of [LFW] message. And I DO NOT take the responsiblity of the possiblity of cheats using LFGForwarder.

    Great Addon! Thank you sooo much for this!

    Suggestion: would be great to merge two versions of this (LFG + Trade = one addon instead of two) and add an option to toggle each of the two channels forwarding. This will merge "/lfw list" and "/tfw list" participants who are now divided into two different groups and that in turn would increase efficiency of the addon.

    FWIW I found a version of this addon modified for v4.3 compatibility here: http://www.filesonic.com/file/4315642344/LFGForwarder_for_40300.zip (via forum.gamer.com.tw, original source in Chinese) Hope this helps

    I created a topic on the WIM forums.
    http://www.wimaddon.com/forums/index.php?topic=1121.0

    Would love to see these mods work together.
    The creator of WIM said they would support any and all mods that are still being updated.

    I got the problem, but it's really a hard work. The situation is very complicated.

    I managed to create an alpha version here:

    http://static.curseforge.net/content/files/434/488/LFGForwarder-2.14_alpha.zip

    2.14_alpha
    just (should) works with WIM.
    3.3.5 will introduce something like WIM, so I won't make more efforts on WIM.

    What did you do? Cause this will have to be redone on my end for both lfg and trade chat mods for future version of WIM.

    I installed WIM to see what's happening. But everything are fine while using both WIM 3.3.4 and LFG 2.13.

    Would you please give me some further information? And have you turned all other addons off?

    You can have WIM replace your whole chat system and have windows for trade and lfg chat.

    World Chat.
    There you can setup the stuff for WIM to handle LFG and Trade chat.
    As you can see from the post from the WIM site the guy is no longer really doing stuff for the mod.
    I am sure if you were to post or if I could get him to talk here if could be hashed out fast. Just getting you guys to do it.
