SQA Data
Optional user-editable message and nickname data for Summon Queue Assist (SQA)
# Summon Queue Assist Data (SQA Data)
**SQA Data** is the optional companion data addon for **Summon Queue Assist (SQA)**.
It provides the extended summon messages and nickname data that are kept separate from the SQA core addon.
## Why SQA Data Exists
SQA is designed to work as a standalone addon, with five built-in fallback messages in each message category.
SQA Data provides the larger, personalised message library without putting user-editable files inside the core addon.
This means future SQA updates can be installed normally without overwriting your custom messages or nickname mappings.
## Included Data
### 💬 Extended Messages
SQA Data currently provides:
- **15 Openings**
- **15 Middles**
- **15 Endings**
- **30 Clicker messages**
- **20 Arrival messages**
These are combined by SQA to create a large variety of summon announcements.
The `%T` token is replaced automatically with the relevant player's display name.
### 👤 Nicknames
The `Nicknames.lua` file provides a simple editable table for custom player nicknames.
For example:
```lua
DarnaSummonAssistNicknames = {
["CharacterName"] = "Nickname",
}
```
## Optional Companion
SQA Data is **not required** for SQA to function.
**Without SQA Data:**
SQA uses its built-in five-message fallback arrays.
**With SQA Data:**
SQA uses the extended/custom message and nickname data supplied here.
## Safe Updates
SQA Data is deliberately separated from the SQA core addon.
This allows:
- SQA core updates without overwriting custom data.
- Independent customisation of messages and nicknames.
- Independent future updates to the data package.
## Installation
Install **SQA Data** alongside **Summon Queue Assist** in your WoW Classic Era `Interface/AddOns` folder.
The SQA core addon should be installed first; SQA Data is an optional companion package.
## User Customisation
`Messages.lua` and `Nicknames.lua` are intended to be edited by the user.
Keep the Lua syntax intact when making changes.
