sol-buffrequest

What is this ?
================
sol's BuffRequest provides a GUI to easily setup your Whispercast buffers. So no makro editing needed any more. In Short words:
- Graphical Interface for managing your WhisperCast Buff's
- Automaticaly reRequest's buffs before and again they fade out
- Individual Setup which buff's you wan't from whom
- Priority system. If the First whispered buffer not cast 1min after request, the 2nd will be asked for the buff
- Only send WC requests when the buffer is not Dead or Offline
- WhisperCast whispers suppression (hides the WC spam from chat window)
- Alternative Buffduration Icons (colored and more detailed time)
- Broadcast Listening Function. Ppl. in raid can declar what they wan't to buff. e.g. "SkyHawk=Thorns,SkyHawk=motw" this in a raid channel will automaticaly cause the addon to fill in SkyHawk in motw and thorns if there is no other buffer specified.


Priority Buff System and How does This Addon Works ?
================
Ok, first the Addon provides a simple to understand User Interface which
helps you to Setup different Buffers for the main Buffs. I was used to
use WhisperBuff but it was always to complicated to enter everybuffer
manualy by typing buff after buff in the console using a Slash command.
So in Sol's Buffrequest the GUI handle this things better.
But that's not all. Also I included a bit of Automisation in this addon.
Everytime a Buff which is setp in the Addon fades away it whisper the
WC request to the person you have entered as buffer for the specified buff.
You have the posibility to enter 2 persons for each buff, one Primary
buffer and the secondary backup buffer. If a Buffrequest is whispered
to the primary caster the addon checks one minute later if the buff is
now active. If Not it send's the same request to the backup buffer (secondary)
But there is still the possibility that even this person can't buff you
because both buffers are dead or disconected or whatever. For this case
there is the "Auto request" function. If you enable this function the
Addon checks every 5 minutes if all buff's for which you have defined
at least a primary buffer are active or not. If a Buff isn't active but
a buffer is specified, the script will request the buff by whisper.
(also with the 60sec 2nd check like described above) This will repeated
every 5 minutes as long as this feature is turned on.
Of course if you are dead or the specified buffer is dead the script
don't send a whisper to this person.

WhisperCast Filtering
================
If you are in a big raid and have to buff alot people with Whispercast
you receive alot of "spam". So time to time I can't catch important
"real" whispers because of all this WC spam. Since 1.0 sol-buffrequest
now support suppressing those WhisperCast requests. If the Addon is switched
on you can select in the GUI to block either incoming and/or outgoing
WC whispers. Be sure to only suppress incoming's if you have Whispercast
installed.
This function is fully compatible with 2Forgotten Chat" Because it's my
personal fav. ;) If you using sol-buffrequest suppression features you
don't need to addup everything in the FC's ignore list.


Similar like...
================
I know there are already some interesting Addons which are doing something
similar. But all of this addons I tested in the last weeks don't made me
happy. To Complex or not supporting my German Client or even not working
like intended. If you like other mod's more; Use them ;) I basicaly started
to code this for myself but I wan't to share the results.
