Abatti's PugBoard

1.5.8

Everything new since 1.1.0. Recognition tuned on more than 8,000 real chat messages from TBC Anniversary and Hardcore.

Classic Era and Hardcore

• PugBoard now runs on Classic Era and Hardcore (1.15.9) and detects the client on its own
• Only content that exists there is shown: classic dungeons including The Stockade, classic raids and battlegrounds. Outland, heroics and arena are hidden
• "HC" is read as Hardcore, not heroic, and "SP" means Shadow Priest
• New PvP entry "Mak'gora" for duel challenges
• New category "World buffs" under Other for Onyxia, Nefarian, ZG heart and Rend timings
• Quest groups recognized from quest links, link-only posts and elite quest names like Hogger, Mor'Ladim or Morbent Fel
• "SM Arms" is the Armory, "Graveyard" with a role is SM Graveyard
• More classic names: Uld, Kraul, ST, DME/DMW/DMN, Lashers, Baron run, AQ 20, AQ 40, RAQ, TAQ

New tabs and settings

• Red "Settings" tab: role, pings (sound, taskbar flash, duration, how many at once, test notice to move notices), card timings, your own whisper texts per card type with , chat channels, minimap button, window scale, reset learned data
• Amber "Filter" tab with all instances and categories in columns; the board now uses the full window width
• Your role can be set to Tank, Healer or DPS regardless of class. Automatic stays the default

Cards and notices

• Clicking Show on a ping notice opens the board on that card and makes it glow for a few seconds
• Quest notices show the quest name
• Group posts without named roles show the player's message instead of "roles not stated", on cards and in notices
• Cleaner cards: no more "posted 2x", language tag, extra instances in the title or orange "unsure" marking
• Messages naming several instances are listed under each of them, e.g. "BT + Hyjal" under Black Temple and Mount Hyjal
• Raids you have an ID for stay visible and are marked "you have an ID" (can be hidden in Settings); pings for them work too
• Unselected tabs no longer have a gold rim at the bottom, so the selected tab stands out

Roles and matching

• "Ranged DPS", "Melee DPS", "Caster DPS" and "Physical DPS" are shown as such, and matching knows your DPS type from your class and talents
• "Need all" and "LFM all" count as a match for every class and role
• "Caster Cape" or "ranged weapon" in a message no longer count as a wanted role
• Class names inside quest and item links no longer count as a wanted role, e.g. "[The Hunter's Charm]" does not want a hunter

Categories and recognition

• New category "Portals & Services" under Other: portals, summons, lockpicking, DMT buffs and taxi requests
• Players buying a boost show up under Boosts & Sales, marked "Buying"; gold trades between realms go there too
• Many more enchant and crafting requests recognized (Mongoose, Boar's Speed, "15 agi gloves", gem cuts, crafter lists, Spanish, French and German links)
• Guild recruitment for a fixed roster goes to Guilds, looking for a specific raid goes to Raids; "Can I get an invite for <guild>?" counts as looking for a guild
• Boss names and nicknames: Vashj, Al'ar, KT, Archimonde, Illidan, KZ, Maggy and more
• SP and MT in raid messages are read as Shadow Priest and main tank, not as dungeons
• Arena partner searches sorted into PvP, gold seller spam with look-alike letters detected
• "LF tank WC (can summ)" stays a group instead of a summon request

Fixes

• A player could get two cards when the game sent their name once with and once without the realm
• Raid progress like "BT 7/9" is no longer shown as a fill bar
