GzLevelUp

Never miss a "gz" again. GzLevelUp automatically posts a congratulations message to your party or raid chat the moment a group member levels up — so you can keep questing, fighting, and looting without breaking your flow.

Lightweight, fully configurable, and built for WoW Classic / Anniversary realms.

Features

Automatic level-up congratulations — when someone in your group gains a level, GzLevelUp posts your message to party chat.
Smart detection — congratulations are only sent for real level-ups, never when a member simply joins the group or comes into range.
Three independent categories — group members, your own level-ups, and pets/companions. Each has its own switch, its own message and its own delay.
Customizable messages with placeholders:
- {name} — who levelled up
- {level} — the new level
- {owner} — the pet's owner (pet message only)
Per-category delay (0–60 seconds) so a message feels natural instead of instant. 0 sends immediately.
Auto reply (opt-in) — after your own level-up, wait for people to say "gz" and then thank them all in one "ty", naming everyone who congratulated you.
Movable quick-button panel (opt-in) — a small floating panel with two buttons (gz / ty) that post to your group with a single click. The button texts are fully configurable, the panel remembers its position, and it can be resized from 50% to 200%.
Raid-safe — raid chat is opt-in, so the addon stays quiet in a 40-man raid unless you allow it.
Minimap button (opt-in) — drag it anywhere around the minimap; left-click for the settings, right-click for the quick panel.
In-game config window — set everything up with /gz, including a live preview of your messages. Everything saves itself.
Localization — English by default, with German included automatically on German clients.
Tiny footprint — no dependencies, minimal memory use, no background polling.

Getting started

Install and log in.
Type /gz to open the configuration window.
Customize your messages, or just leave the defaults and play.

That's it — the addon works out of the box.

Configuration window (`/gz`)

Five tabs, and every change is saved automatically — there is no Save button. The window is movable and reopens wherever you last dragged it.

Messages

Three independent categories, each with its own switch, message and delay:

Group members — when someone else levels up.
My own level-ups — when you level up.
Pets and companions — when a group member's pet gains a level. Adds the {owner} placeholder. Your own pet additionally follows the "my own level-ups" switch.

Each row has a delay field on the right: seconds to wait before sending, 0 sends immediately. A live preview sits under every message.

Auto reply

Opt-in. After your own level-up the addon listens to group chat. The first matching message starts a short collection window, then a single reply thanks everyone who congratulated you — so three people saying "gz" get one "ty Alice, Bob, Carol!" instead of three separate messages. Nobody congratulates you? Nothing is sent.

Reply — the message, with {names}, {name} and {count}.
Counts as congratulations — comma separated word list. Matching is on word starts, so gz also catches "gzzz" but not "Bugzapper".
Wait after the first gz — how long to keep collecting (default 6 s).
Stop listening after — give up if nothing arrives (default 30 s).

Quick panel

Show the floating gz/ty panel, set the two button texts, and adjust the panel size with the slider.

Settings

Addon enabled — the master switch.
Also use raid chat — off by default. In a 40-man raid an automatic "gz" per level-up is spam for most people, so the addon stays silent in raids until you switch this on. Applies to everything it sends.
Show minimap button — opt-in. Left-click opens the settings, right-click toggles the quick panel, and you can drag it around the minimap.
Restore defaults — resets everything, after a confirmation prompt.

Placeholders

In the three level-up messages:

{name} → who levelled up (player or pet)
{level} → their new level
{owner} → the pet's owner — only meaningful in the pet message

Example: Gz {name}, welcome to level {level}!

In the auto-reply message:

{names} → everyone who congratulated you, comma separated
{name} → the first one
{count} → how many there were

Example: ty {names}!

Compatibility

Built for the WoW Classic / Anniversary client. Messages go to party chat; raid chat is opt-in via a setting, because an automatic "gz" per level-up is spam for most 40-man raids. Nothing is sent when you're not in a group.
