RandomGreeting

Tired of always typing the same "hi" or "bye" when you join or leave a group? RandomGreeting spices up your chat with a random, funny message — automatically posted to the right channel, every time.

🌟 Key Features

Smart No-Repeat Rotation

The addon cycles through your entire list before repeating any message. No more accidental spamming of the same joke!

Context-Aware Channel Detection

Just type /rhi or /rbye and the addon automatically detects whether you're in a Raid, Party, or alone and posts to the correct channel.

Four Independent Lists

Manage hi, bye, and two fully custom lists (/rcustom1, /rcustom2) — each with its own rotation, commands, and optional custom label.

Import / Export

Share your message lists with friends via a compact import string (RG2:LIST:msg1;;msg2;;...). A built-in copy/paste dialog makes it painless. Use the Import Generator to create and edit your import strings directly in the browser.

Fully Customizable — In-Game

Add, remove, or reset messages at any time without leaving the game. Restore the built-in defaults for /rhi and /rbye with a single command.

Minimap Button

A small icon on the minimap gives you quick access to everything:

Left-click — toggle the Action Window open/closed
Right-click — open the Options panel
Drag — reposition the button around the minimap
Can be hidden via the Options panel if you prefer a cleaner minimap

Action Window

A compact floating window right in your game UI. Click a button to instantly post a random message from the corresponding list — no commands needed. The window is freely draggable and remembers its position per character.

Toggle individual list buttons (Hi, Bye, Custom 1, Custom 2) on or off in the Options panel
Cycle through channels (Say / Guild / Party / Raid) directly in the window
Compact mode — halves the window width and uses short labels (Hi / Bye / C1 / C2) and single-letter channel codes (S / G / P / R) for a minimal footprint
Lock position — prevent accidental dragging
Hide close button — keep the window clean and dismissible only via the minimap button

Two Themes

Choose the look that fits your UI — switchable per character in the Options panel:

WoW (Classic) — the familiar Blizzard dialog style
Modern (dark) — a sleek dark background with a thin border

Huge Starter Pack

Ships with 50+ hilarious German and English greetings and farewells. A few examples:

🇩🇪 Tschüsseldorf · Ciao Kakao · Bis Spätersilie · Sayonara Carbonara · Adieu Mathieu · Goodbayern · Huhu! · Hallöchen Popöchen! · Moinsen!

🇬🇧 Don't let the murlocs bite! · Safe travels! · For the Horde! · Well met! · Greetings! · Until next time! · Howdy, partner!

🚀 Commands

All four lists share the same sub-commands. Replace /rhi with /rbye, /rcustom1, or /rcustom2 as needed.

Command	Description
`/rhi`	Send a random greeting to your current group
`/rhi s / g / p / r`	Force Say / Guild / Party / Raid
`/rhi w [name]`	Whisper a specific player
`/rhi list`	Show all messages with their IDs
`/rhi add [text]`	Add a new message to your rotation
`/rhi remove [id]`	Remove a message by its ID
`/rhi clear confirm`	Delete all messages (requires confirmation)
`/rhi reset confirm`	Restore the built-in default messages
`/rhi import`	Open the import dialog (paste a share string)
`/rhi import [string]`	Import directly from a share string
`/rhi export`	Open the export dialog (copy your list)
`/rhi help`	Show a quick command overview

/rcustom1 label [name] and /rcustom2 label [name] let you rename the custom lists to anything you like (e.g. "Warlock Portal Quips").

Global import shortcut: /rg import [string] — auto-detects the target list and imports into the correct slot.

Options panel: /rg options — opens the Options panel (or right-click the minimap button).
