==HoloFriends (continued) v0.434== This addon modify the friends window of WoW to offer you a better management of your friends and ignores. This is the next big update to HoloFriends, with some new functions, improved window handling and the long announced optional feature:\\ **The faction wide friends list !**\\ This is one single friends list for some or all of your chars of the same faction at the same realm. No sharing anymore. Because of no response from the translators, this version is only partly localized to Chinese (zhCN and zhTW) and Latin American Spanish (esMX). v0.431: I had to release a first bug fix for the two bugs noted by sailorami14 and Opaque.\\ Also included is a solution for the problem with the addon BadBoy_Levels, noted by JLBurnett04 and discussed by funkydude.\\ And Aladdinn completely translated HoloFriends to Traditional Chinese (zhTW) for us. Many thanks. v0.432: Bug (noted by Yutaka) fix, if you login the first time at a realm with HoloFriends.\\ v0.433: Bug (noted by Yutaka) fix, if the in-game friends list changes (i.e. by other addon) during its processing.\\ v0.434: Bug (noted by MaxxPhyrra) fix, if first login at a realm with a faction, where a char at the other faction already exist. Also fix for merging of HoloFriends comments with in-game notes.\\ **Andymon** ===Features=== * handle a single faction wide friends list for some or all your chars (<<color red>>NEW<</color>>) * order your friends and ignore list in groups * manage more than 100 friends * update the status of friends (>100), not monitored online by WoW, with one button click * substitute all friend names and your char names, i.e. to the letter box (<<color red>>NEW<</color>>) * show a message, if one of your in-game monitored friends vanished (<<color red>>NEW<</color>>) * HoloFriends help (small FAQ) at the interface options panel (<<color red>>NEW<</color>>) * add long comments (up to 500 letters) to your friends and ignore list * the first 48 letters of the comments are saved to the in-game friend notes * monitor notes of the in-game friends list (support for other addons) * optional upend in-game friend notes with HoloFriends comments * display area or comment behind the friends name (<<color red>>NEW<</color>>) * optional list only online friends * optional show only groups with online friends at the friends list (<<color red>>NEW<</color>>) * show the number of online and offline friends * optional display of class icons to friends * optional display of friend name in class color * save the date of last seen for your friends * add players to the friends or ignore list by pull down menus (no friends window needed) * add the who-request to several pull down menus * optional black opaque background for pull down menus * optional disable pull down menu modifications (to allow set focus) * share your friends including the comments across your other chars * update friends data between your chars * optional merge HoloFriends comments during sharing * share and update whole groups of friends * the update of groups optional mark not existing friends at the destination friends list (<<color red>>NEW<</color>>) * merge the friends lists of some or all your chars to one faction wide friends list (<<color red>>NEW<</color>>) * allow separation of your chars from the faction wide friends list (<<color red>>NEW<</color>>) ===Remarks=== You would like to have HoloFriends at your language?\\ **I'm looking for translators to HoloFriends and the WEB page content.**\\ Send me a note at curse, if you want to join the team as translator. The translations are easily managed with a WEB interface.\\ Public translations at curse are closed. ;The project home is :http://wow.curseforge.com/projects/holo-friends-continued/ ;There you will find a ticket system for feature requests and bug reports :http://wow.curseforge.com/projects/holo-friends-continued/tickets/ ====Localization by==== Andymon - German (deDE)\\ zwlong9069 - Simplified Chinese (zhCN)\\ Aladdinn, zwlong9069 - Traditional Chinese (zhTW)\\ marturo77 - Latin American Spanish (esMX) ===HoloFriends FAQ=== **Q:** Does this mod show when your friends were last logged on? I find that a very useful thing.\\ **A:** HoloFriends show you for your friends the date of last seen. As I know, its only possible to get the date of last login for guild members. **Q:** Anybody know what checking the little boxes does?\\ **A:** There are little check-boxes in front of the player names (have a look at the screenshot "Display all friends"). If this box is checked, then the friend is included in the in-game friends list of WoW, else the friend is only included in the friends list of HoloFriends.\\ Friends in the in-game friends list of WoW are online updated by the game and you see the current status. But the in-game friends list has a limit of max. 100 friends.\\ Friends without the checked box (only included in the friends list of HoloFriends) are not monitored by the game. HoloFriends has to check the status of this friends using the "/who" command of WoW. But this check is slow, because the game force a time break between the execution of two "/who" commands. **Q:** It says "update the status of friends (>100), not monitored online by WoW, with one button click" but that doesnt make it very clear.\\ **A:** Because of the slow scan with /who for the friends, not included in the in-game friends list of WoW (check-box at the friend not checked), a status update for this friends is not done automatically. You have to start the "/who Scan" manually by one click at the red button "/who Scan" in the upper right corner of the friends list window.\\ **Keep in Mind:** If the "/who Scan" is running, the /who command will not work. **Q:** Why is "set focus" disabled in some pull down menus?\\ **A:** I had to disable it, because you would get an error message "function blocked by blizzard".\\ I included an option in the HoloFriends options panel to disable all menu-modifications of HoloFriends, to enable the "set focus" pull down menu entry.\\ The setup of the focus seem to be an overall protected function in the game. I have no understanding, why focus is not only a combat protected function, like the raid-window.\\ It is a feature of the game, that protected functions don't work, if there is any unsigned modification of its appearing window, in this case the pull down menu. **Q:** Why is in a raid in combat the raidmember window empty, if HoloFriends is loaded?\\ **A:** It is a feature of the game, that protected windows don't work in combat, if there is any unsigned modification of its appearing window.\\ The raid-window is part of the friends-window, where also the friends list window is a part of it. And the friends list window is modified by HoloFriends. And HoloFriends is not signed by Blizz.
