Looking For Group Filter / LFG Chat Filter

Addons

LookingForGroup Filter is a tool to use with /join LookingForGroup to find groups without having to actively stare at the chat, instead of playing the game.

1 line macro text to open/close LFG Filter window. Macro: ' /lfg '

Recommended Setup to keep 'LookingForGroup' spam out of sight, but still filling the Addon Filter with relevant listings while actively playing the game or talking to party etc.

LFG Filter will list groups while you play the game, or irl

Since the devs were so nice o name these so similarly, I had to make the decision either skip some listing, or have these 2 dungeons share similar search parameters. I chose the 2nd, so it will make the addon look inaccurate, but you won't miss out.

1. /Join LookingForGroup; 2. Create Chat window for LookingForGroup; 3. Select Roles/Dungeon; 4. (Optional) Create /lfg Macro;

Just finished running RFK > Group Dispersed > Instantly find 2 other Listings I would've had to scroll for. (Even with the addon window closed it saves the past 5 listings until 'Clear')

Description

https://streamlabs.com/khileez/tip

LookingForGroup Filter was created because staring at the matrix as it scrolls is a very tedious and unpleasurable experience. Don't want to stare at LookingForGroup chat scrolling by, then don't. This addon was made with myself in mind, cause I want to play the game, which to me means actually playing the game. Want to farm mats while searching for a group, now I can; want to do a little bit of questing while searching for a group, now I can; want to have to stare at chat for 30m+ to find a group, well now I never have to.

I'm not a programmer, but I scoured enough of the internet and read a lot of WoW specific programming books to get this working cleanly. It functions, it works, I'm proud of it and I see value in it for the long term.

** I'm currently working on other addons that I think will be in demand if you want to support those or you simply appreciate this addon enough to DONATE (links are above - they redirect to paypal), that would be awesome and I can give myself an excuse to spend time on my new addons.. sincerely tyty. **

Works for: Classic, SOM, BC, and Wotlk

Doesn't work for: Private Servers... Not by design, but some private servers are running off old API etc so tweaking it could make it work, but don't play PS so I don't plan to download all the different game versions to configure/upload each individual file.
