Curse

I really wish this worked.

i hate missing chats from the guild when my name is mentioned or people are trying to get me, and they don't whisper.

I can be in a raid or group and have filters on, and don't care to see all the constant guild chatter, but would like to know if my name is mentioned.

This addon won't work because there is no configuration page where you can exclude channels, so if you have any addons that use custom channels, you know they are going to pass your toon name, so what happens is that this addon beeps all the time for an invalid reason.

There needs to be a config page to exclude channels, or to only work on specific channels.

Please address this problem if you have the time.

If you cannot, then I may mofify it myself when I have the time.

Thank you

 

Anyone have an update for this? I seriously cannot play properly without this addon.

Not working for me with 4.0 and I miss it!

I also agree that the ability to ignore certain channels would be a great addition.

I love this addon and would like to see an update or fix. Anyone know?

If you add those features could you add a config UI to disable them. I like getting the warnings when someone emotes me but I do not need the Fish Feast warning and such... Thanks

A feature to ignore some chat channels would also be nice

For those of you who are getting errors try applying this fix:
1) Go to your addons folder (should be wow/interface/addons)
2) Open the file "SayMyName.lua" in any text editor (e.g. Notepad or Wordpad)
3) Scroll down to line 32. It should say
if ( event == "ADDON_LOADED" and arg1 == "SayMyName" ) then
4) Select that line and the following 8 lines (lines 32 to 40). The last line should say end
5) Delete them
6) Add the following lines (they're similar but not the same)
if ( event == "ADDON_LOADED") then
if ( arg1 == "SayMyName" ) then
if ( not namesTable ) then
ChatFrame1:AddMessage("SayMyName First Run")
namesTable = { UnitName("player") }
end
if ( not ignoredPlayers ) then
ignoredPlayers = { }
end
else
return false
end
end

Maybe when I get some time I'll pick this up and add some features (such as the Mage table, Soulstone, etc... idea that someone had below). Until then just try to apply this fix and let me know if you have any other issues.

Just bumping this in the hope of an update soon. :)

This is a really nice addon. I don't know how many emotes or comments directed to me that I'd miss without it. :)

I am, however, hoping for an update soon to hopefully fix the errors.

Thanks for the hard work!

I'm getting this error message after installation.
