About RealID Toons

Adds the current character name of your Real ID friends to the Battle.net alert informing you they have come online. Information is added to both the inline chat notification and the popup Toast window.

Alerts are populated with information based on the format string replacements you choose.
The following replacements are available:

  • $t - Character Name, uncolored
  • $T - Class Colored Character Name
  • $c - Class name
  • $C - Class Colored class name
  • $s - Realm (server) Name (only if different than the player's)
  • $S - Realm (server) Name (Always)
  • $f - Faction symbol (only if different from player, or on another server)
  • $F - Faction symbol (Always)
  • $l - Character level
  • $L - Character level (difficulty colored)
  • $r - Character race
  • $n - Friend note (only shown in Chat alerts)
  • $N - Friend note (always shown)

These options are available in the Interface Options, or by typing /ridt

Examples

A format string of $t - $l $r $c would expand to something like: Warriordude - 85 Human Warrior

Using the colored substitutes (i.e. $T - $L $r $C) would expand to, if you were on your level 1 bank toon: Warriordude - 85 Human Warrior

FAQs

Q: My friend's character name is colored gray, what happened?
A: Some times the server is overloaded and will not return all the information about your friends, since the addon does not know what class your friend is playing the name is colored gray.

Q: My friend's character name is colored like they are on their previous toon, what happened?
A: Similar to the above question. Sometimes the wrong information is returned during periods of high load. I haven't been able to force this to happen, although I have seen it happen. I am working on trying to solve the issue efficiently.

Q: Your addon threw an error!
A: Please post a ticket, but first check to see if your problem has already been reported and that you are using the current version. Remember, being as detailed as possible in your report will help me fix it faster.

    2.1.8 BETA1 has a new feature, the ability to hide the Toast popup during combat.  However, nearly all of my RealID friends are taking a break from WoW.  I would appreciate testing and feedback on this beta version so I know if it works as intended.

     

    Thanks!

    Please update this Addon! I am noticing the icons acting odd lately next to names and assume it's because it hasn't been updated in months. Thanks <3

    I haven't noticed any issues with icons on my end.

    It could be a chat addon interfering or weirdness with the RealID system itself.  You can submit a ticket with screenshots if you think it's actually the addon at fault.

    My apologies for letting the Toast popup bug slip through. It is fixed in 2.1.4. Although it doesn't seem anyone but me noticed :P

    Hi Starinnia,

    i get this error since the latest version:

    RealIDToons-2.0.0b\Core.lua:114: ambiguous syntax (function call x new statement) near '('

    With that error RealIDToons does'nt seem to work any more (no modifications to the notifications any more).

    Keep up the great work!
    Regards
    X-buZZ

    I am aware of the issue of not being able to right-click on the RealID names in the login alerts and am working on a fix, please be patient while I test it and ensure it will not break other things.

    One quick suggestion!

    Any way to pull through friend notes from AuldLangSyne? It's a really popular friend info management addon and it usurps the role of the default Blizz notes UI.

    http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/auldlangsyne.aspx

    Thanks!

    Looked at ALS a little bit, it doesn't seem to be keeping notes for RealID friend. Seems that the notes are related only to character names. I admit I haven't loaded the addon in-game, but from a look through the code it seems there is nothing related to RealID, so really nothing for my addon to pull from.

    File an enhancement ticket about this, otherwise I'm likely to forget since the semester has started for school.

    Just stopping by to say this addon is great! It's exactly what I wanted. It's so annoying to see the toast popup not display anything useful about my friend.

    Thanks so much for making these tweaks in my head a reality! GOOD JOB EVERYONE! :)

    Is there any chance the friend notifcations could pull through friend notes (created with the Set Note contextual menu on friends) and display that in the chat message/toast as well?

    Any chance there could be support for freinds list what I mean is to add freinds with alt codes with a simple right click on the chat basicly make it a real addon for your freinds list does not matter if there

    I miss the addon called Addfreind you can no longer get it from curse for some reason and there is no addon maintained by anyone that allows you to add freinds and stuff


    Like this addon is still in the infant stages and it does what it says it does which is great but there is no good addon out there for adding freinds or inviting to a guild etc you may want to look into a addon like that if you have time

    Sadly there are alot of dead addons which people miss as they are broken

    I would like to propose an enhancement to this addon:

    Shift+click on realID name to /who their current character if on the same realm/faction as you. And an entry in the right-click menu to "Whisper current character"
