GroupfinderFlags
Last Updated: Dec 13, 2018 Game Version: 8.1.0
GroupfinderFlags
This Addon adds flags to various ui elements to indicate a player's realm language and country.
European and american/oceanic regions only.
Usage
- Options are integrated into Blizzard's Interface-Optionswindow
- Access the options through GameMenu>Interface>AddOns>GroupfinderFlags ...
- ... or simply type /gff or /groupfinderflags into your chat
Features
These flags are shown next to an applicant in the Group Finder (Premade Groups)
In the "Find a Group" section the flag of the group leader's realm is shown in the appropriate tooltip.
In addition these flags are also added to players' tooltips.
this addon seems incompatible with raider.io
In reply to Taiya:
Hi, i have seen that players from Kael'thas realm have no flags
In reply to Dathwada:
May you please name what your own language settings are (german, english, french, ...) and which region (eu or us+oceania+latam) you're playing in? I guess it's linked to french realms, but I want to be sure about that.

Can you change the Great britain flag to the EU flag instead? There are ppl from all other european countries on those realms. They are not exclusive to great britain
In reply to p1ks_:
Heyho. Thanks for this great addon, very handy.
One suggestion: would it be possible to add an option like "only show flag when country is different from mine" or something like that?
Thanks in advance, keep the good work going. :)
Hey,
that should be possible. I'll have a look into that.
Greetings, Spielstein
Edit: I have a solution ready. I'll upload a new version withing the next days.
Why EU only? :c
The wow API doesn't have a consistent and robust way (at least based on my current state of knowledge) to tell you in which region the server is located (EU, US, oceanic, etc.) and Blizz likes to reuse realmnames for each region (e.g. Blackmoore-EU and Blackmoore-US).
That makes identifying the correct language flag a little bit more challenging.
Is the need so high in other regions? I never knew other regions have this kind of language diversity problem.

Thanks to the work of Turtle919@Curse I'm able to work on a solution for us/oceanic realms. I'm tinkering on it at the moment and can hopefully deliver within the next days.

Lua Error with the 7.3 Update :/
I have no wow subscription right now.
Can you be a little more precise with your error? ^^
Greetings, Spielstein
Sure :)
Thanks a lot. I'm not quite sure why this bug is suddenly appearing but i think I may have a quick solution.
I added a additional check to prevent using a nil value from UnitGUID(unit), which seemed to cause the problem. I did a quick test on the PTR and it seems to work (fingers crossed ^^').
This is included in version 0.6. If the problems persists let me know. :)

Hey Spielstein, thanks for the update, it seems okay ! :D
Recently, some flags in the Groupfinder window are wrong. For example, after inviting a guy with a german flag, he's in fact from a spanish server. The tooltip is correctly showing the spanish flag though - it's just the Groupfinder that's bugged.
I also noticed players having flags changed when reopening the Groupfinder window (or switching to "Raid" and back to "Premade Groups").
Thanks for the report. I'll have a look at it and hopefully I can get that fixed within the next days.

Hi, lovely addon, thanks!
However, it appears to break https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/254158-keybooster in the group finder interface :(
