NinjaInvite 2.0 RELEASE [Send Mass Guild Invites]

[Timmid]

Just wanted to say I love your addon; I use it over multiple guilds on multiple realms.. It's amazing and quite obviously without the addon it wouldn't be possible.
My one concern however is it seems it doesn't always message people. Is there any way to check if people are being messaged? I get a lot of people saying that I just blindly invited them with no message.

And.. I'd like to second the request for an "always on" mode. Would be amazing, especially when AFK or something.

Thanks!

i appreciate the feedback! i'd love to make an "always on" mode just need to work on how i wanna code it.

it just might not PM everyone only because your PMing might be getting throttled by the Chat System, nothing i can really do there except change the interval in which they are sent. speaking of which i guess i could make that customizable... !

Epic work mate, keep it up

Hello there Timmid

Was wondering if there was any plans to add people who declined due to timeout or clicking to the invited list (which I assume is the ignore list) it would really help to make sure to not send an invite and whisper them again.

Another thing is that times send whisper timer, I really recommend that get implemented due to the fact that guild invites have no delay unlike whispers ( which I assume is correct )
Making it send the guild invites and whispers in 5 seconds intervals would stop the Spam.

Or whatever the limit is would be good. But any chance for it to send the whisper first and 1 second later the guild invite?

This is actually already implemented and it should already add people it invited to a list so they won't be reinvited or whispered again.

Another thing is that times send whisper timer, I really recommend that get implemented due to the fact that guild invites have no delay unlike whispers ( which I assume is correct )
Making it send the guild invites and whispers in 5 seconds intervals would stop the Spam.

That's definitely a good idea like I have said before, I just have to get around to doing that :P

But any chance for it to send the whisper first and 1 second later the guild invite?

I could do that, but that would involve more timers and probably even worse performance for the add-on that is already pretty memory consuming during searching times.

I appreciate your feedback!

Heya, I seem to be having an issue where even when I have /ni msginvite enabled (which I am under the assumption will not invite them until they reply), it will still auto invite once the /who search is complete. Also after everything finishes, I can no longer see the yellow text messages of me inviting people to the guild until I reload my UI.

Also, is there a way to change it so it doesn't search 81-85 then 81-85 c-"", but rather 81-84 then 85 c-""?

Edit: I found the issue with the auto-inviting, it seems to be intended. If msginvite is enabled, then msgplayer is enabled, it automatically disables msginvite. Perhaps a message can be added when enabling msgplayer to remind the user that msginvite is being disabled =)

yeah that sounds about right. I have to fix stuff with that still. When I implemented that feature I was multi tasking and adding other things too so I forgot some of the finer details, I will add them next patch!

You forgot to define the "CHAT_MSG_WHISPER" event thus breaking the msginvite function.

A temporary work-around is adding the following in the source under line 38. If you don't know how to do this, you will have to wait for Timmid to update this.

frame:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
frame:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_ADDON")
frame:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_WHISPER")

--Default Settings, if we don't have them saved this is what gets put in.
Ni_DefaultSettings = {
    ["msg"] = "Hello. Would you like to join my guild? Send me a PM with Yes or No. If you say no you will not get this message again.",
    ["msg2"] = "This is an optional message. Not included yet. Yet. Yet. Yet.",
    ["msgPlayer"] = false,
    ["verbose"] = true,
    ["autostart"] = true,
    ["msginvite"] = false,
    ["instant"] = false,
    ["levelStart"] = 1,
    ["levelEnd"] = 85,
    }

--Easier chat function
local function NinjaMessage(text)

A little warning: while this function is enabled everyone sending you a whisper with "Yes" or "Invite" will get automatically invited to the guild. So use with caution.

@Timmid: Really nice work on this by the way. Thank you for releasing it :-)

Ninja Invite 2.87

Hello, Timmid.

I'm having an issue with inviting people that your addon finds at the end of the search. I start the search with my /ni start macro, and in the start it functions correctly - It sends a message to all the unguilded characters (I can browse this easily with the WIM addon that puts the chat with every different player in a different window) and invites them. Then, at some point, the addon starts searching for the level group of players that it just searched - but this happens only in the "Who List" window. In the chat window it continues to proceed normally.
Example:

Chat window...................................................Who List
NinjaInvite: who: g-"" 1-5 (X invited so far)............g-"" 1-5
NinjaInvite: who: g-"" 6-10 (X invited so far)...........g-"" 6-10
NinjaInvite: who: g-"" 11-15 (X invited so far)..........g-"" 1-5

This way, it goes until levels 81-85, but invites none of them and displays the message "NinjaInvite: Ninjainvite stopped." Then I set the minimum level to 80, and suddenly 6 chat windows with my default inviting message popped up! Sometimes it even stops at levels 76-80 or earlier, when I'm defined the maximum level as 85, and rarely it does the full search with classes when there's 49 results in the "Who List".

Note that it hasn't always been this way - the addon functioned correctly for me before. This may be caused by an addon, as the problems started soon after I had installed the "Power Auras Classic".

Did you try disabling Power Auras Classic and seeing if my add-on worked properly after that?

Sometimes other add-ons will conflict with mine.

[Timmid]

Is this broken after 4.2? When i type /ni startlvl 1 ... i get : type help for list of known commands...

i swear i replied to this but maybe i didn't.

i'll be releasing an update sometime today that should bring it up to date for 4.2.

update: Ninja Invite 2.88

Of course I did.

I even disabled all of my addons except Ninjainvite and Ace3, but then it was hard to tell anything about the addon functioning correctly because the "Who List" didn't show up.

Edit: After updating and enabling only Ninjaivite, Ace3 and WIM, Ninjainvite still ends the searching/inviting process when the level brackets 76-80 and 81-85 still haven't been searched for. Then, after the addon has stopped, the game still searches for the level brackets in the "Who List" as Ninjainvite had requested. Only problem is that they still don't get invited.

Not sure what could be causing this problem. I have added so many features lately and I might have messed up some of the code somewhere (something to do with coding while intoxicated).

I will look into it, and I'll probably end up coding this add-on again, this time from the ground up.
