[Release] New Character Announcer

[vicke]

How to install it?

[volitle]

nice scripts ^ +rep

[Oggranarr]

I like the script, so +Rep
but also I would say that it could get annoying when many people come online..

[Extension]

Thanks for the Information

[sammiboy]

If you change the RED

 sprintf(welcomeStr,"[|cff00ff00News!|r]Give a warm welcome to |cff00ccff%s|r the |cffff0000%s|r |cffff00ff%s|r.",Plr->GetName(), raceInfo.strForm, classInfo.strForm);

Into something else, will it also be changed ingame? Or do I have to edit somewhere else also?

+Rep when I can.

To sammiboy:
You edit it there then re-compile it

Thanks works for death knights now

[bueslum]

What am I doing wrong? Every time I compile it it is only 7 kb large.

Edit: I was using an outdated way of compiling...lol.
