Description:
--------------------
This update will not use your last year saved variables... your settings will be gone. you may want to delete your old settings 1st but it isn't really needed
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 real ID messages
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. it will output to MikScrollingBattleText if installed and play a sound to alert you
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"
"/nalert filter" will take you to the new channel filter options. This filter is now a WHITELIST for channels like "Trade" "Local Defence" "General" and such. If they are not in the list you will not be alerted about them
Now has a Throttle function to stop people from sound spamming you, 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 ). 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 nickname management and chat channel management
New commands have been added
/nanl cmd option Nick Alert NickList nicknames/ triggers the addon will scan the chats for
/nawl cmd option Nick Alert Whisper List on/off/add/rem/display turn on/off the whisper alret feature and manage who it will alert you for
/nacf cmd option like above but manages the channel...
