About Scout

Description :

- Scout is a little add-on that serve one purpose : Reporting PvP-enabled players of the opposite faction.


Features :

  • Scout does its job by sending a message to the LocalDefense channel, in which you can see the Rank, the Name, the Race, the Class, the Level of the spotted player.
  • It will also inform of the general location of the ennemy by displaying the Area and sub-area.
  • Also, for increased accuracy your own coordinates are sent. There is at the moment no way of customizing this message.
  • To help you get to the right 'spot' in case someone else is using this add-on, your own coordinates are displayed on the top part of your mini-map.
  • The reporting is done on the 'Target_Player_Change' event, that meant when you acquire a new target.


Installation :

  1. Simply put this folder in your /interface/add-ons/ directory
  2. Issue a '/scout default' command to set the default values


Command list :

/scout on : Enables the add-on
/scout off : Disables the add-on
/scout mapEnable : Enables the mini-map coordinates
/scout mapDisable : Disables the mini-map coordinates
/scout manual : Sets the reporting to manual mode
/scout automatic : Sets the reporting to automatic mode
/scout semiautomatic : Sets the reporting to semiAutomatic mode (default mode)
/scout status : Displays the add-on's settings
/scout showCache : displays the cache content
/scout default : Sets the default value
/scout help : Displays the help message


Bugs / Issues :

  • It is currently possible to spam the LocalDefense if two players are using this add-on and targets the same unit, both will isue a report.

    Re: Scout /commands

    I require clarification...

    /scout manual : Sets the reporting to manual mode
    /scout automatic : Sets the reporting to automatic mode
    /scout semiautomatic : Sets the reporting to semiautomatic mode (default mode)

    Please define Manual, Auto, and Semiauto in detail as it pertains to Scout.

    I'm thinking of switching to a PvP server. I ought to get some real use out of this addon(unless its dead in which case disregard)

    I think I can recall this addon working just one time since I've been using it. Is Scout dead?

    They need to actually Target the player for the report to be fired. There is also a cache that prevents reporting the same player over and over again. So if the "chat box was literally filled" it has to be because teh player was swarmed with enemy players.

    I can still have a look at it, but I highly doubt this was simply by being "passing by" an enemy player.

    I remember seeing someone using this addon in Tanaris. The LocalDefense channel went off every time they passed by an enemy player. It was VERY annoying to have it fill the chat box and a lot of people complained about it and put her on Ignore. GMs told her to turn it off or be suspended.

    I've switch to curse's SVN to store the add-on so the version numbers will now reflect that.

    Current version is r2

    Hm...ya know, this isn't working anymore, and I really did like it...
    Persheal, are you to update this ever again, or is it a dead project?

  • #2

    I completely forgot I had put it here sorry.

    I'll update in a few minutes, it should still be working now.
