SQA Data

# Summon Queue Assist Data (SQA Data) — v1.0.0

## Initial Public Release

SQA Data is the optional companion data addon for **Summon Queue Assist (SQA)**.

It keeps extended/custom summon messages and player nickname mappings separate from the SQA core addon, allowing SQA itself to be updated without overwriting user customisations.

## What's Included

### 💬 Extended Message Library

Provides the extended message arrays used by SQA:

- **Openings** — 15 messages

- **Middles** — 15 messages

- **Endings** — 15 messages

- **Clickers** — 30 messages

- **Arrivals** — 20 messages

SQA Data therefore provides a substantially larger message pool than the five-message fallback arrays built into SQA.

### 👤 Nicknames

Provides the optional user-editable nickname table.

Users can add their own character-to-nickname mappings without modifying the SQA core addon.

## How It Works

SQA is fully standalone and includes five fallback messages in each category.

When **SQA Data is installed**, its message and nickname data is loaded and takes precedence over the SQA defaults.

If SQA Data is not installed, SQA simply continues using its built-in fallback data.

```text

SQA only

    → Built-in fallback messages

SQA + SQA Data

    → Extended/custom messages and nicknames

```

## Upgrade Benefits

Keeping the data package separate means:

- SQA core updates do not overwrite custom messages.

- SQA core updates do not overwrite nickname mappings.

- Users can customise their data independently.

- SQA Data can be updated independently of the core addon.

## Installation

Install **SQA Data** alongside **Summon Queue Assist** in the WoW Classic Era `Interface/AddOns` folder.

SQA Data is optional; SQA remains fully functional without it.

## Important

`Messages.lua` and `Nicknames.lua` are intentionally user-editable.

If you customise either file, keep your personal copy when replacing or updating SQA Data.
