JD Reload — raid-wide "Reload UI" prompt

What it does
JD Reload lets raid leaders or assistants broadcast a clean popup to everyone in the group who has the addon, asking them to click "Reload UI". The popup can optionally show a random image (e.g., a 512x512 break screen) above the button.

Features

• Leader/Assistant only: Only raid leaders or assistants can trigger the popup.
• Group-wide broadcast: Works in Raid, Party, and Instance groups; includes a whisper fallback to catch edge cases.
• 512x512 image support: Shows a random image each time the popup opens.
  
  • Use your own TGA/BLP files, or fall back to built-in icons.
  • Images are centered on a transparent canvas; perfect for custom break screens.
• Minimal chat noise: Recipients only see "JDReload triggered by <Name>" once.
• Lightweight & taint-free: No configuration UI, no saved variables, no analytics.

How to use (slash commands)

• /jdreload — (Leader/Assistant) Sends the popup to the whole group and shows it locally.
• /jdcheck — Pings the group and prints who is "online" (has the addon and receives messages).

> Note: Only players with this addon installed and enabled will see the popup.

Installation

1. Copy the JDReload folder into World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\.
2. Restart the game, then enable JD Reload on the AddOns screen.

Add your own images (optional)

1. Create: World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\JDReload\media\
2. Put your images there as TGA or BLP (WoW UI does not load PNG).
   
   • Recommended: 512x512, 32-bit with alpha (transparent background).
3. Open JDReload.lua and add file paths to the CUSTOM_TEXTURES list, e.g.
   Interface\\AddOns\\JDReload\\media\\myimage.tga
4. Restart the client after adding new files (fresh assets aren’t always picked up by /reload).

Permissions & behavior

• Triggering is restricted to Raid Leader or Raid Assistants when in a group.
• In Solo, /jdreload opens the popup locally (for testing).
• Messages are sent over INSTANCE_CHAT / RAID / PARTY with WHISPER fallback to each member.

Compatibility

• Built and tested for The War Within (11.2+).
• Uses only public UI APIs; no protected actions.

Troubleshooting

Others don’t see the popup:

• Make sure they have JD Reload installed and enabled.
• Use /jdcheck to verify who is reachable.
• In dungeons/raids, instance chat may filter; the addon includes whisper fallback.

Custom images not appearing:

• Ensure files are TGA/BLP, correct path & double backslashes.
• Restart the client after adding new files.

Localization

• UI text is minimal and English by default. You can change the button label or title by editing JDReload.lua.

Privacy

• No data collection, no external network calls, no saved character data.
