Automatically welcomes new guild members and greets guildmates when they come back online.


πŸ€” What is Xal's Welcome Wagon?

Joining a guild and hearing nothing back is a rough start. Welcome Wagon watches for new members and for guildmates logging in, and has a welcome ready for each one β€” picked from over a hundred built-in lines, or ones you write yourself. When someone joins or comes online, a small glowing icon appears on your screen β€” hover it to see exactly what it's about to say, and one click puts it in guild chat.


⚑ Key features

  • A small alert icon for every join and login β€” it glows when a welcome is waiting. Hover it to see who it's for and the exact line it will post, left-click to send it, right-click to skip it. It stays small and out of the way, even in a dungeon. If several people arrive at once, a number shows how many are waiting, and an unanswered one clears itself after a few minutes. Drag it wherever you like.
  • Resizable alert icons β€” set the wagon, the welcome mat and the trophy to their own sizes, 50% to 200%, with a test icon so you can see each one. Each icon remembers its own spot, with a reset-to-center button.
  • Send with a key β€” bind "Send next welcome" under Options β†’ Key Bindings and fire welcomes without touching the mouse.
  • Optional sound cues β€” new members, logins and achievements each get their own on/off and their own pick from 8 sounds. Click one to hear it. Off by default.
  • Achievement congratulations β€” optionally congratulate guildmates when they earn an achievement. A gold trophy alert icon sets it apart from a welcome, with 100 lines built in plus your own ({name} and {achievement} are swapped in). Skip small ones with a minimum points setting, and give it its own sound. Off by default.
  • 100 welcomes and 100 welcome-backs built in β€” each pick is random and never the same line twice in a row.
  • Write your own β€” add as many of your own welcome and welcome-back lines as you like, mixed in with the built-in ones. Type {name} and it's swapped for the member's name. Remove your own lines any time.
  • Optional welcome whisper β€” whispers new members your own message automatically after a delay you set. Off by default.
  • Buffer so nobody gets greeted twice β€” set how long to wait before the same person comes up again when they hop off and on.
  • "Invite to Guild" on right-click β€” adds the option to player right-click menus. Only shows if your guild rank can invite, and never for someone already in the guild.
  • Minimap button β€” left-click opens the settings. Hide it in the settings if you'd rather.
  • Real settings window β€” a sidebar with a page for each area and every setting in its own card. No chat commands needed.

Bored single dad, learning as I go. WoW's been mine since launch, off and on. Made Xal's Xpedited Routes because I couldn't find what I needed and figured I'd learn it myself. Have an addon idea? Hit me up anytime.
