Yipper Addon - World of Warcraft

What does it do?

The Yipper AddOn is a continuation on the existing AddOn called Listener, but tweaked and tuned for pure roleplay purposes. This AddOn is developed from scratch and provides the basic functionality to listen to people in large crowds without depending on any single other AddOn.

What doesn't it do?

• Does not manipulate Chat in any way
• Does not interact with other AddOns (for now)

What messages does Yipper track?

• /s or /say
• /y or /yell
• /e or /emote
• Standard emotes
• /roll results
• Guild Chat
• Office Chat
• Raid Chat
• Raid Leader Chat
• Party Chat
• Whispers

The AddOn will collect these message for every player (where possible), and display them in a separate frame when hovering over the specific player. This allows you to simply see what said player said without having to scroll through the entire chat window.

Support and Features

If you wish to contribute to the AddOn, please feel free to open an Issue on GitHub and describe what you feel is missing. When time permits, the AddOn will be extended when enough requests come in.

Settings

The Settings window allows you to configure the following settings:

• The display of the minimap button
• The alpha/transparency of the windows
• The background color of the windows
• The border color of the windows

Slash Commands

The AddOn provides the following slash commands: /yip or /yipper

• /yipper config - Opens the settings window
• /yipper help - Shows this help message
• /yipper - toggles the main window

Dependencies

The AddOn has zero dependencies. It does not even require things like LibStub, WoWAce or LibIconDb. This is a 100%, pure, lua AddOn.

License

The AddOn is available as open source software through CurseForge. I am not going to bother with smacking a license on this, but if you use/reference it, please have the decency to credit me.
