OUR id | Lockout Sharing for the People

OurID is a simple addon for World of Warcraft players who provide lockout sharing services to the community. By seizing the means of group management, this addon handles invites, greetings, difficulty settings, and group departures, allowing you to serve the collective with minimal manual effort.

🎯 Automated Workflow

When the station is active, the system executes the following protocol:

• The Invite: Invites the guest when they whisper a keyword. (Default: "inv" "invite")
• The Welcome: Greets the guest and requests a difficulty choice (Normal, Heroic, or Mythic).
• Efficiency Guard: Issues a 10-second warning if the guest is unresponsive.
• The Departure: Sets the requested difficulty, promotes the guest to Leader, and leaves the group automatically after 30 seconds.
• Auto-Reset: Immediately clears internal timers and flags to prepare for the next citizen in queue.
• Re-invite: Invites the next person to whisper you your keyword after the party is reset.

🛡️ Border Control 

Managing a high-traffic lockout station is now safer than ever:

• One-at-a-Time Policy: Automatically declines incoming invites if you are already assisting a player, preventing "weird states" or group hijacking.
• Diplomatic Response: Sends an automated whisper giving details about their place in line.
• Waiting List: Invites the next person for a lockout after the current party is reset, in order of whispers received.
• Safety Standby: The addon defaults to DISABLED on every login to ensure it never interferes with your private activities.

📊 The People's Archive (Tracking & Export)

Keep a persistent record of every player you have helped:

• Service Logs: Tracks player name, realm, difficulty chosen, and exact timestamp.
• The Archive Window: Access a scrollable, color-coded history via /ourid window.
• Export Bureau: Use the Export button to generate a CSV-formatted report of your impact for external record-keeping.

🔧 Central Oversight (Debug Console)

Monitor the gears of the machine in real-time:

• Technical Logs: A dedicated console (/ourid debugwindow) captures every timer, invite block, and logic trigger without spamming your main chat.
• Debug Mode: Toggle /ourid debug to see these technical prints in your chat for deep troubleshooting.

⌨️ Commands for the Collective

To optimize your character as the ultimate OurID lockout station, follow this industrial guide to maximize efficiency for the collective:

1. Strategic Positioning

• Safe Zones: Park your character in a sanctuary city (like Valdrakken or Dornogal) to avoid being attacked while AFK.
• DND Status: Set your character to /dnd (Do Not Disturb). While OurID handles its own automated whispers, a DND message can provide extra instructions or your website link: https://leaflessferal.wixsite.com/lockouts.

2. Managing the Archive & Logs

• The Archive Window: Regularly use /ourid window to check your "Total entries" and see how many citizens you have served.
• Exporting Data: Periodically use the Export button in the Archive window. This allows you to copy your history (Ctrl+C) and save it in a .txt file for your personal records or community proof.
• Clean Slate: Use /ourid clear after a successful export to keep the Archive window responsive and organized.

3. Technical Oversight

• Monitor the Gears: If you notice the station isn't inviting or leaving correctly, open the Debug Console with /ourid debugwindow.
• Black Box Recording: The console stores the last 100 operations, allowing you to see exactly where a timer might have been cancelled or an invite was blocked.
• Toggle Safety: Always remember that the system resets to DISABLED on login. Your first action should always be /ourid toggle to start your shift.

4. Efficiency Protocol

• One-In-One-Out: Trust the Border Control system. It will automatically decline extra invites and whisper waiting players to put them into the queue.
• Standardized Timing: The system uses a strict 15-second timeout for unresponsive guests and a 30-second departure timer once the difficulty is set.

Technical Support & Bureaucracy

If the gears of the machine are grinding or a protocol fails to execute, please follow these steps before reporting an issue.

1. The Black Box (Debug Console)

Every internal operation—from invite blocks to timer triggers—is recorded in the Technical Debug Console.

• Access: Type /ourid debug to view the log.
• What to Look For: The console stores the last 100 messages with timestamps. Check here to see if the addon successfully registered a player whispering a keyword, joining, or saying a difficulty keyword.

2. Common Troubleshooting Protocols

• Addon is "Not Working": Ensure the addon is ENABLED. By default, it resets to DISABLED every time you log in for user safety. Use /ourid toggle to start your shift.
• Invites are Being Declined: This is likely the Border Control system in action. If you already have one Comrade in your party, the addon will automatically decline new invites and whisper the sender to wait their turn.
• Difficulty Not Setting: The system only responds to the keywords "normal", "heroic", or "mythic" in party chat. Ensure you are the Party Leader, as the addon requires leadership permissions to change difficulty.

3. Reporting a Bug

If the issue persists, please provide the following information to the Central Committee:

1. 1. The Log: Open /ourid debug, use the Export button (if available for logs) or take a screenshot of the relevant timestamps.
   2. The Context: Were you in a Raid or a Dungeon? What keyword did the player use?
   3. The State: Confirm that /ourid status showed the addon as "Enabled" during the incident.
