UltimateGroup

Getting a Group  together in WoW Forever is a race to invite first,  and can be a true pain. I made this addon to make it a lot easier.

There is no dungeon finder queue in Forever. Players list themselves in the Group Finder and the leaders fight over them, and a tank is gone in seconds. UltimateGroup reads that list, puts the player you need on top, and invites them with one click or one key.

I use it myself every day. Open it, press the gold button, and you have your tank.

How it works

1. Type /ug (or click the minimap button).
2. Pick your dungeon and click your own seat to set your role.
3. Press Refresh.
4. Press the gold button. It invites the best tank first, then a healer, then DPS. Keep pressing until the group is full.

Don't want to click? Tick Auto-invite, press Start recruiting and go on playing. It fills the group by itself and tells you in chat who joined.

Everything it does

Finding players

• Five seats at the top, tank first. An open seat lights up when somebody on the list fits it. Click a seat to see only that role.
• The best match is always on top: players who fit an open seat first, then the closest ones.
• Every player shows their zone in a colour: green is at the dungeon, light green is next door, yellow is the same continent, red is the other one.
• A sound plays when a tank or healer you need shows up.
• Tooltip with level, class, spec, roles, zone, dungeons and their comment.
• Searches you make in Blizzard's own Group Finder window show up here too.

Inviting

• The gold button invites the best match and says who it is before you click. If nobody fits, the same button refreshes the list.
• Auto-invite invites the moment the list arrives, and the next player the moment somebody says no. Works with the window closed, and in combat.
• Right-click a player to invite them for another role, whisper them or block them.
• No stuck seats: an invite with no answer runs out after 90 seconds. A decline or "already in a group" frees the seat at once, and that player is left alone for 10 minutes.
• If you have your own listing, your applicants are on top with one-click invite.
• Whisper requests (off by default): someone whispers inv tank or !heal and gets invited for that role if the seat is open.

Picking who you want

• Classes panel: for each role, set a class to Preferred, Normal, Avoid or Never. For all dungeons or just one.
• Loot rule for DPS: classes that don't want your gear move up. As a rogue you get mages, warlocks and priests first.
• Two more DPS rules: don't double a class the party has, and mix melee with ranged.
• Change the group setup, for example 2 tanks, 1 healer, 2 DPS.
• Level range, and players too low for the dungeon are left out.

The whisper

• Everyone you invite gets one whisper so they know what it is: "Hi! Inviting you as tank for Gnomeregan. We are 3/5 so far."
• With a warlock and two more of you standing together it adds "We can summon you."
• Own text for tanks, healers and DPS, with a live preview. Tags: {name} {class} {role} {dungeon} {size} {summon} {addon}. Or turn it off.

Blocked players

• One panel with everyone the addon won't invite: the players you blocked (saved for all your characters) and the ones on a break because they declined.
• Unblock or Ask again with one button.

The rest

• Works with WoW Forever names (first name and surname, no realm ofc).
• Refresh can't jam. The game allows two searches and then makes you wait about five seconds, so the button counts down and shows how old the list is.
• Minimap button, addon compartment, options under Options > AddOns.
• Three key bindings: open, Search, Invite the best match. Bind the last two and recruiting is two keys.
• An error never breaks it. It goes to a log (/ug debug) and the addon keeps running.

Commands

Good to know ( If i still play  in the future. ) 

• Made for WoW Forever. It loads on Retail too, but Retail hardly lists solo players, so there it only helps with applicants to your own listing.
• The game may want a click or key press for every search. If it does, Auto-refresh turns itself off and tells you. Use Refresh or the Search key.
• You have to be the party leader, or not in a group yet.
• It only sees players who listed themselves, and it trusts the role they picked.
• A dungeon added in a later patch has no distance colours until I update the addon.
• The addon is in English.

Something wrong?

Type /console scriptErrors 1, make it happen again, and post what /ug debug shows in the comments. (( I  try to read them )) .
