Description:
--------------------
Nick Alert scans incoming chat messages and alerts you when they contain one of your character names or nicknames that you set up.
It can also alert you to incoming whispers from specified people, or to Real ID messages from specified people.
The Real ID support has been rewritten to make its use easier. the former method of putting notes in the Real ID user note has been automated so you need to remove the NA:blah: tags you put in. You will just need to click the person's name in a list to toggle the alerts for them now.
The nicks are saved per server. The scanning is case insensitive so that Tocar == TOCAR == tocar==Tocardamus so no matter how they type it is should match.
Nick Alert can output to MikScrollingBattleText if installed, a built in moveable alert frame, and play a sound to alert you.
The alert frame is movable (Left Button) and resizable (Right Button) while the frame is unlocked
Once the frame is locked all mouse input to the frame is passed through to whatever is under the frame
To use a custom sound file for the alert you need to make a directory called "\Interface\AddOns\NickAlert_CustomSounds" in the WoW directory and put your file called alert.mp3 or alert.ogg into it before you start WoW
* for mp3 type "/nalert custommp3 on"
* for ogg type "/nalert customogg on"
commands can be accessed by typing "/nalert"\\
"/nacf" will take you to the channel filter options. This filter is a whitelist for channels like "Trade" "Local Defense" "General" and such. If they are not in the list you will not be alerted about them
The Throttle function to stop people from sound spamming you is configurable from 1 to 60 in seconds and 1 to 60 alerts in that time before they don't alert you ( so, from 1 alert a minute up to 360 or just off ). ALL alerts are governed by this throttle. If ChatDebug is set on then it will display info lines on the throttle for feedback and setting it up
Also now has a control panel in with all the other ones and sub panels for ni...
