About 8ball

Just a quick toy I made for fun. Uses the original 8ball answers.

Usage: /8ball [auto | keyword | <output channel>]
(or /eightball)
- Output channels: guild, party, raid, bg, yell, say, chan, whisper
- keyword <keyword>: Automatic reply when someone beings a sentance with the keyword.
- Auto: turns on/off automatic replies yes/no questions.

Notes:
- If /8ball does not work, you can use /eightball
- Automatic response tries to recognize a question as a yes/no question, however it is far from perfect.
- Automatic replies either using auto or the keyword will NOT respond to system channels (general/trade/etc), nor battleground channel.

- 1.9.4 -
toc update: 40000

    Hey there! I love this addon. I play from Germany, so I translated the Answers into German.
    But when I tried to translate the auto-reply Words into German 8Ball stopped working. Is there something I have to keep in mind when I change something there?
    Thx for your work.

    Wow just wow.... O my God way to scam me bro.... REALLY REALLY!? I made this as a set of macros on Moonguard under the character known as fireplaceman. I used to pretend this was a addon called eightball! I am so upset this is as bad as a copyright protection law. I would stand on the fireplace in Lions Pride Inn and answer any yes or no question. How absolutely unbeleivable that someone actually stole my idea and claims to have thought of it. You even took the name of the addon. Though it was originally a set of macros

    If I could sue you I would I could'nt beleive it... That someone actually made my idea a addon go to hell

    Really? I hope you're not for real. There's no way someone can tell what macro's you have unless you share it, and this addon is four years old now.

    The only quarrel I have with this addon is it will auto-reply to anything in any channel but the global ones, and I would like a way to choose to omit one like yell, whisper, say, etc. Other than that, I love this addon, it makes guild chat much more interesting XD

    I don't understand how the commands work T_T

    Ok so we added some keywords but we may have over done it, how do we delete em? I tried unistalling and reinstalling and they same keywords stay on.

    btw thanks makes wating for raids to get going much much fun

    This is possibly the funnest addon I have found. I set the keyword to a "?" and now my guildies have fun asking it questions and seeing what it responds. Although my girlfriend has had some fun asking it if I love her and 9 times out of 10 it says something negative ^_^

    Odlaw, I love the addon. Thanks!

    For all of you who like to have 8ball auto respond to you, comment out lines 213-215.

    Or change these lines:
    if ( string.lower(Arg2) == string.lower(UnitName("player")) ) then

    return;

    end

    to this:
    --if ( string.lower(Arg2) == string.lower(UnitName("player")) ) then

    --return;

    --end

    I use this addon all the time to predict the outcome of guild runs. Amazingly enough no one has caught on to the fact that they too can query my 8ball.

    Hrm... this 48 hour downtime giving me time to dust off some cobwebs. Looks like i can use /8ball again. GG bliz.

    Sorry, it's now /eightball. For some reason 2.0 messed up commands that start with numbers, so I had to change it. I couldn't change the description on this web site with all the new changes they were having problems. I gave up trying to change it and completely forgot to check back to see if I could change the description at a later date.

    when i try to type the /8ball command it attempts to conect me to channel 8

    i dont see any other way of getting round this other then renaming the command

  • #2

    so... what exactly does this do?

  • #6

    8ball works for everybody but me ... its a conspiracy imo

    meaning:

    anybody can /8ball on any channel and it will respond properly
    xcept for me.. it wont work when i 8ball or eightball

  • #1

    Awesome! I love it already :)

    Would it be possible to be able to select a keyword without which there would be no auto response? For example if the keyword is "8ball", only people who include "8ball" in or at the beginning of their sentence would get an auto response.
