Quips is a World of Warcraft addon that provides contextual in-game flavor lines triggered by a button or combat macros, allowing your character to speak during combat and exploration while avoiding spam and respecting UI restrictions.

Description

Quips is a lightweight World of Warcraft addon designed to bring your character to life by adding contextual flavor lines during combat and exploration. Featuring a customizable mood and personality system, your character will dynamically react to specific situations—like dropping to low health, successfully interrupting a spell, or securing a victory.

FEATURES

• Contextual Speak Button (See key bindings in options. Default CTRL-SHIFT-B)
• Mood system
• Personality system
• Macro-callable combat quips
• Ability Mapper for action-bar ability mappings
• Low-health reactions
• Encounter safety
• Movable UI
• Wellness System (Hunger & Comfort)
• Racial accents/dialects (Dwarven & Troll)

Add even more flavor with these optional Quips plugins:

  • Quips: Insanity
  • Quips: Dimwit
  • Quips: Party Time
  • Quips: Companions

MACRO EXAMPLES

Interrupt:
#showtooltip Kick
/cast [harm, nodead] Kick
/quips interrupt

Attack:
#showtooltip Crusader Strike
/cast [harm, nodead] Crusader Strike
/quips attack

Defensive:
#showtooltip Shield Wall
/cast Shield Wall
/quips defensive

Burst:
#showtooltip Avenging Wrath
/cast Avenging Wrath
/quips burst

Heal:
#showtooltip Renew
/cast [help, nodead] Renew
/quips heal

Single-Button Assistant:
#showtooltip Single-Button Assistant
/quips sba
/cast Single-Button Assistant

MACRO TIPS

• Use the "/quips attack" command in a macro for an ability you use frequently.

• Use the "/quips burst" command in a macro for an ability that boosts damage and typically has a longer cooldown.

• Use the "/quips defensive" command in a macro for an ability that reduces damage or grants temporary HP.

• If you use the attack and burst commands for multiple abilities, be sure to adjust the frequency down so as not to spam when in a group (or disable Quips in dungeons and raids altogether).

ABILITY MAPPER

Quips can map action-bar abilities to Quips commands without requiring a macro. Single-Button Assistant is supported too; Quips maps the spell currently shown by SBA.

• Open Quips settings and use "Ability Mapper" to map action-bar abilities to Attack, Burst, Defensive, Interrupt, Heal, or None.
• Mappings are saved per character in SavedVariables.
• When a mapped spell is used from a Blizzard action bar, Quips runs the selected command alongside the normal cast.
• On first login with no ability mappings, Quips scans existing macros that contain "/quips attack", "/quips burst", "/quips defensive", "/quips interrupt", or "/quips heal" and imports matching spell mappings.

WELLNESS SYSTEM

The Wellness system simulates your character's Hunger and Comfort levels.
• Hunger increases over time and decreases when you eat or are healed by certain spells.
• Comfort decreases when you are in cold environments, mounted for a long time, or at low health.
• High Hunger or low Comfort will lock your character into a Grumpy mood and trigger specific complaints!

TODO

• Add illness simulation to Wellness system (e.g. colds, infections, etc.)
• Advanced pet system (affection levels, moods, etc.)
• Add more conditions that grant warmth (fire weapons, fire transmogs, firey pets, Recuperation, etc.)
• Add quips to more actions, like looting.
• New personalities.

NOTE: Due to current limitations of the WoW API, some features--especially related to target information--will not work in dungeons, delves or raids, or with world bosses.


KNOWN ISSUES:
• Some vanity pets may be incorrectly identified as animals, which results in weird interactions.
