[WoW] For those of you that play on a PvP server...

Check out this mod I made:

Send feedback my way!

Thanks.

This is pretty cool. I''m curious, how long did it take you to get into the scripting? I''ve thought of making a couple of things and have some programming background but haven''t taken the time to sit down and look at what''s involved.

It''s actually super-easy. The trick is to have something to do, just going through the code wont help.

Come up with a simple idea for a mod and then just go through blizzard (or other addons) code. It took me a few hours to get something up and running.

Would it be possible to have hated/loved players'' names show up in different colors in chat or over their heads without having to target them?

Wow. I wish I''d thought of this; I used to maintain fairly extensive lists of this type back in my MUDding days, and found it to just be too much work in MMORPGs.

I might be able to make their names look different in chat but I don''t have access to anything in the 3D space (which the label on their head is).

This is SWEEEEEET dude I cannot tell you HOW many times I''m in SunRock, Freewind or Splintertree and some a-hole paladin or rogue comes by who is twice my level and kills me for the sake of it.

Here''s an idea I''m not sure you can do. Usually you can see opposing faction GUILD names. Can you include a guild love/hate too? Say you get killed by DUMBASS from guild JACKASS... so whenever you see the JACKASS guild you know to have some revenge

Very nice. I''ll definately use this. I''m like you in terms of PvP. I don''t engage if they''re questing as well unless I''m provoked and now if they''re on my HATE list (or in Horde controlled territories).

Idly wandering through code, it looks like appending/prepending text might be more practical for the chat window. Even a [HATED] tag added to their name in chat would be awesome.

Other suggestions, a /blacklist lookup [playername], output: ""Not on your list"", or [playername]: [Loved]/[Hated] [Reason] would be shiny.

A /blacklist list to show the entire list would be nice.

By the way, you might want to retitle this thread. I''m on a PvE server. The utility of this isn''t confined to PvP servers. Oh, heck no.

Thanks, especially for posting this here; I never would''ve found it otherwise.

I thought you could affect the tags that show on a players name above their head? Didn''t cosmos get in trouble not to long ago for coding in ""ninjalooter"" over someone''s head so whoever used the mod saw it? I''m sure that was it, unless Blizz removed those hooks and made them inaccessible.

Par, my reading through the notes made it sound like you can add a whole guild to your hated/loved list.

I believe that showed up on the tooltip when you mouse over them which I already modify.

Lookup is on my list for the next version which should be out this weekend.

You can already do this, type /blacklist to get a list of commands (you want /blacklist addguild).

Ah ok, must have misremembered.

Excellent Going to try it out now.

Thanks for the effort!

What kinda coding is it? XML? Always wondered!

I have a suggestion for you:

Allow a hate/love counter. So each time you press love or hate for the person, the counter is increased or decreased appropriately. Sort of to emulate reputation, but on an individual level. (e.g. a player that backstabs you while fighting a mob and then camps your corpse gets 5 hate points, while a player that''s just passing you on the road, engages you fair and square and then leaves gets only 1 hate).

As an advance feature on top of the previous suggestion, there should be natural decay for the love/hate numbers. Or there should be an option to allow for decay on individual basis. So that the number slowly decays over time as old vendetas become irrelevant.

I really don''t think this is necessary. You can attach a reason to someone and that way you can keep track of what they''ve done.

I don''t care if someone has 5 points in hate since I can just enter ""kos"" or ""good guy"" and that''s it. I want to keep the mod simple that''s why I don''t have that many options or complex formulas to figure out if someone is an ass.

Also, I don''t see why anyone that engages you in a fair fight needs to receive a hate tag. In a PvP server you''re supposed to fight people from the opposite faction and I find it fun to fight them if the conditions are fair.

Awesome add-on Pink, almost makes me wish I was on a PVP server. Too bad I''m such a wussy.

Wow good job pink.
I feel inspired.
Lets hope it doesn''t last

That sounds like a great mod, Pink. Well done.

Don''t really want to turn this into a debate, but I deserve some points need a reply.

Personally, I don''t find this mod useful right now. ""kos"" label doesn''t mean much to me if it''s 2 months old. What do I do if I get backstabbed by someone I labeled ""good guy"" but dont'' remember why? I can see how it could be useful to many, but I personally don''t find it sufficient.

I wouldn''t look at it as hate tag, but as a revenge tag in that case. As in ""I owe you one buddy!"" This is why i''d like to be able to tag people with lower personal reputation or higher reputation (positive or negative). I find love/hate only setting to be a bit too black and white. But that''s my personal opinion.

I do appreciate the effort and the time you put in to create a useful mod. Obviously many people find it sufficient and that''s great. I was just providing some feedback on what it would take to find this a useful mod myself. I hope it did not come across as any thing else.

I haven''t seen the mod but from what I''ve read it sounds like you can add little notes to the love/hate entries. This would seem to address both your points.

What do I do if I get backstabbed by someone I labeled ""good guy"" but dont'' remember why?

If you put a note on the entry when you label him a good guy, I think it shows up on the mouseover.

This is why i''d like to be able to tag people with lower personal reputation or higher reputation (positive or negative). I find love/hate only setting to be a bit too black and white.

Given the limitations of what he can do to/with the interface (i.e. the fact that you have to mouseover the character to find out the love/hate anyway), the ability to add a note should help here, too. Someone labeled ""backstabbing, kill-stealing ninja-looter"" is going to obviously be different from ""I owe this guy for that duel on 2/4/05"".

Deepest apologies if my comments are based on invalid assumptions about the product.

I mentioned this in the Add-on thread. Looks really cool, does it work in PVE?

I don''t really worry about whether I need to kill the other side, I want to know if Johnny Buttmonkey is a loot whore or plays well with others. I need to go ahead and install it and find out.

I was perusing the latest mods and saw this thing which kinda reminded of Pink''s mod but not: Karma v0.6 Player Tracking

Just posted a new version. Check first post for info on where to get it.

Really nice idea! I will prolly find myself using this with my Eredar character
