GMH for Cataclysm 4.0 +

[09SMalone]

GMH 4.0 +
For Realms running Cataclysm or WOTLK


Hello OwnedCore. Basically, I was looking for an add on which would work with Cataclysm and would allow me make ticket answering and GMing easier overall. The old GMH that was used on my realm was practically useless. Most of the buttons didn't work with the commands of the server and I wanted to get more out of the old GMH add on. So, I remodeled it. I added plenty of features that would make GMing on any realm much, much easier. Right now it is not intended as a release. But, if the interest is there, I might modify it to work with any realm. Right now I can't release it due to the fact that all of the commands on my server are quite different than normal commands and that the code is quite ugly. Anyways, here's a bunch of screen shots and information telling you what it does. PLEASE. PLEASE leave comments. I am curious to know what people like and dislike about it. Like I said earlier, if there's continued interest, it will be released. Thank you as always.

The main things that I added to this addon were the ticket improvements, the morph section, the announcement section, the title's section and the note section. Below I'll explain what these buttons do and how they can be used for a server.

Tickets

Appear

Stuck
Kicks the player in the ticket to their home location.

Plr.Info
Prints out the information of the player in the ticket in blue text in the lower left hand corner of the screen.

Whisper

Revive
Revives the character in the ticket.

OpenMsg
When pressed, it tells the other GMs that you are currently dealing with the player whose ticket you are currently on. It then sends a welcoming message to the player and asks them about their ticket.
Example:
Greetings "PlayerNameHere", I am Game Master "GMNameHere". I apologize for interrupting your gameplay. Can you spare me a moment to discuss the issue you have posted in your ticket?

Del+Msg
When pressed, it whispers the player thanking them for submitting a ticket and telling them to have a nice day.

Example:
I would like to thank you for sending in a ticket, "PlayerNameHere". If there is anything else you require, please contact us again. Enjoy your travels in Azeroth and have a great day.

Away
When pressed, it tells the other GMs that the player you are currently dealing with is AFK. It then sends a message to the player whose ticket you are servicing telling that that you believe they are AFK and that you will return to their ticket shortly.

Example:
I apologize "PlayerNameHere" but I have not gotten a response from you for quite a while. I feel obliged to help other players instead. But don't worry, your ticket will be returned to by a Game Master in a few moments.

QstnEnd
When pressed, it asks the players if they need anymore assistance.

Example:
Anything else that I can help you with today, "PlayerNameHere"?

Delete
Deletes the ticket without sending the player a message.

Bug
Whispers the player explaining that they are currently experiencing a bug and that it will be reported to an administrator as soon as possible.

Example:
We appraise the fact that you have made such an effort to report this bug, "PlayerNameHere". This bug will be investigated and if it appears to bugged, it will be discussed amongst the Demon Soul staff who will attempt to fix it. In order that a developer notice the bug, please report this bug on the forums under the Demon Soul Realm category.

Cache
Whispers the player explaining that they should delete their cache folder to fix the problem they are having.

Example:
It seems that all you really need to do, "PlayerNameHere", is clear your cache folder. Sometimes, when you play retail or another private server, your game client doesn't catch up with what is going on in the game. Simply find your World of Warcraft folder and delete the WTF file within it. If the issue is not resolved, sometimes deleting your interface folder will do the trick. But be careful. This option will also delete your add ons and custom settings.

Contact
Whispers the player explaining how to contact an administrator for their issue.

Example:
The issue you are having can only be solved by an administrator. To contact one, simply go to the main Wowbeez website and click the Contact Us button. An administrator should respond to your request within a week.

Faction
Explains to the player how to reset their faction to the default standing.

Example:
Luckily this is an easy fix, "PlayerNameHere". Simply find any available Taxi NPC, select the 'Advanced Bug Fixes' option and then select the 'Reset Faction Standings to new char' option. This should solve your problem.

Items
Whispers the player explaining to them that you cannot give them free items if they are requesting them.

Example:
As much as I would like to help you with that "PlayerNameHere, Game Masters are not allowed to give players items, spells, titles of any other sort of advantage over other players. So I will not be able to assist you with what you have requested.

Report
Explains to the player how to file a report against a GM or another player.

Example:
If you want to report a player for incidents such as this, you will have to go to the Wowbeez forums and file a report. Simply go to the Wowbeez forums pages and under the Demon Soul Realm section, you will find a subsection called Player/GM Reports. Be sure that you follow the correct format for reporting players and that you provide screenshots of the player breaking the rules. Without both of these, we cannot take any action against the player. Within a day or two, a GM will check your report and deal with the player as he or she deems fit.

Joke
Asks the player to solve a riddle.

Example:
How many Rogues does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Answer
Gives the answer to the riddle.

Example:
One to actually screw in the lightbulb, and 999 on the forums claiming they could've done it better.

Transmorg
Explains to the player how to use the transmogrification feature.

Example:
Although transmogrification does not work here as it would in retail, it is still usable. By using verbal commands, you can stimulate an actual working transmogrification. There are two different commands that must be executed for this to work. @Transmog slot erase will erase the display of the given slot location. @Transmog slot ItemID will replace the display of the given slot with the item of the provided ID. The values that you can place in the 'Slot' location are head, shoulder, chest, body, waist, legs, feet, hands, back, main, off, ranged, and tabard. To find item IDs, you can simply go to WowHead and look up the item you would like your armor or weapon to look like. You can also look up item IDs using the add-on, Atlas Loot. Remember, transmogrification is bugged and thus the displays do not stay. Therefore, I would recommend using a macro to save your changes. If you need any more assistance, go to Sign In - Wowbeez Forums.

Patch
Explains to players how to get and install the latest patch.

Example:
In order to play on patch 4.3, you will need to download a provided patch and set of launchers. This will allow you to see everything in game in the right manner and access patch-specific features. In order to get the launcher, simply go to the main Wowbeez website. Log in with your account information and click the 'How to connect' tab. About half way down the page, you should see a link labeled as a torrent. Click on it. This is the file you will need to update to patch 4.3. After the file has downloaded you will need a program which loads torrents. My recommendation is Utorrent since it is free and available for mac and PC users. After the file has been opened by your torrent program, you will find the files you need in your downloads folder by default and it is labeled as 'Wow'. Take the patch and put it in your data folder. Move the .bat file and the launcher.exe file into your main wow folder. To log on, execute the .bat file. If that does not work, try launching the .exe file. All of this should enable you to play on patch 4.3 without any issues.

GMH Add On for Cataclysm - YouTube

[Maven01]

Wow. I'm surprised people still use that.

http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/worl...elper-gmh.html ([Release] ArcEmu Gamemaster's Helper (GMH))

[09SMalone]

Well there's hardly many other options for GM addons for Arc Emu, so it makes sense that people still use it. And the one that I fixed up is far different and has plenty of different options so it's definitely not the same as the one you have linked there if you watched my video.

[deoptima]

and where can this be downloaded?

[09SMalone]

It can't be downloaded at the moment. I was waiting to see if there was actually interest in the community before redesigning it for use with the community. But unfortunately, it looks like the interest just isn't there.

[xXRagnarosXx]

Well I am currently a GM on quite a populated 4.x.x server and am using an old 3.3.5a GMH. I would really, really, really like this addon for me and other GMs on the team. I'm sure I could edit the messages accordingly via text tiles, it wouldn't be that hard. If you could send me the Addon that'd be more then great, I look forward to hearing back from you and hope you will consider it!
