This is a really great addon, really adds a lot of fun to the game.

FIX FOR END OF COMBAT FIRING INAPPROPRIATELY: Add the following lines to the appropriate place in RPHelper2_events.lua (first function, close to the top): elseif arg=="mail_send_success" then messageName="mail_send" elseif arg=="bankframe_opened" then messageName="bank_open" elseif arg=="bankframe_closed" then messageName="bank_closed" elseif arg=="guildbankframe_opened" then messageName="guildbank_open" elseif arg=="guildbankframe_closed" then messageName="guildbank_closed" elseif arg=="loot_opened" then messageName="loot_open" elseif arg=="loot_closed" then messageName="loot_closed" TECHNICAL STUFF: GenericEvent is registered to several events but doesn't handle them - this means that it will use the LAST event correctly handled - which is often leavecombat (though not always, which makes replication a pain!). Add handling for the events and it will reduce random firing (and now handle bank and loot events correctly I think!)

I am unable to find this Dictionary.txt file. Am I missing where it is, or is it not in the zip file?

I am unable to find this Dictionary.txt file. Am I missing where it is, or is it not in the zip file?

I use click to cast. Many times the spell I'm casting is not being cast on my current target. Is there any way to get RPHelper to recognize who I'm casting the spell on, rather than my target?

Why is RPHelper treating Loot Events like Combat Ends?

I play a blood elf... and i catch it saying stuff like for cenaurius and blessings of elune and stuff like that.. how do i get rid of the default stuff that doesn't fit my character. Also the default cheer and check the pulse things get old when they pop every 20-30 seconds.

This should totally be in WoW already. C'mon, Bliz, get with the program!

Any chance of getting the functionality to allow for multi-line RP, such as emoting, casting/attacking, and then saying?

So, now I found rphelper to work fine with events, but still not with spells. If it can helps :)

No we can't ! :p Congratz by the way :)

OMG! Congrats for your new family member Duerma! ^_^ Of course we can wait for this, I say! Don't you think, people??

Still nothing happening, whatever I'm trying to do :( Someone else getting this kind of problem ? Perhaps this is due to the fact I'm using a french client ? Tried with no other addon, even after I've deleted interface, WTF and WDB folders. I have the gui panel appearing correctly, and I can configure sayings. But whenever I use a spell for which I added sayings, nothing's happening.

I'd still like to know, can this be disabled when not RPing with out having to log out and disable it?

Oh crap. >.< Yes, all the files need to be put into a folder called RPHelper2. I'll upload a zip file with that corrected today. As for the other bugs, you'll have to be patient for just a little longer. I just had a baby, and I'm still working up to the point where I can sit at the computer for more than 5 minutes at a time.

What happened with the directory structure in the file? It appears to me that the main folder "RPHelper2" and other localization folders are missing. Well, that's not a real problem if you put it yourself in the decompression process, but in the game I cannot get the GUI to appear with /rp, even when RPHelper2 is saying that it's initializing. Any suggestions?

Hi, what's the name of the main-folder? Is it 'RPHelper2'? cu

As far as I tried, I can't make rphelper to say anything :( I enter a sentence, I choose a frequency (100) and I use the ability and ... nothing (using a french client).

Hi. seems a little borked with 3.0.2: the random insult section threw an error for line 677: nil value for index RandomInsult. not that i use this section, but i'm stress-testing all my addons for the patch. great work!

DL it today and went /rp and nothing??

Obviously, I fail at uploading stuff early in the morning. Try it again; all libraris should be included and appropriately referenced. Sorry for the hassle, folks. >.<

About your latest version... The sucker just doesn't seem to be working at all! When I have all my AddOns running, the icon appears, but clicking the button doesn't do anything, typing "/rp" does nothing, and I get an error whenever I try and change anything on the Mini-Map icon: Date: 2008-09-06 15:09:28 Error occured in: Global Count: 1 Message: ...ace\AddOns\Elephant\Libs\Dewdrop-2.0\Dewdrop-2.0.lua line 721: AceDB-2.0: Cannot call "ToggleActive" before "RegisterDB" has been called and before "ADDON_LOADED" has been fired. Debug: [C]: ? [C]: error() Ace2\AceLibrary\AceLibrary.lua:122: error() Ace2\AceDB-2.0\AceDB-2.0.lua:1797: func() ...ace\AddOns\Elephant\Libs\Dewdrop-2.0\Dewdrop-2.0.lua:721: ...ace\AddOns\Elephant\Libs\Dewdrop-2.0\Dewdrop-2.0.lua:660 When the only AddOns running are Roleplay Helper 2 and the GUI thing, I get THIS error: Interface\AddOns\RPHelper2\localization.lau:1: attempt to call global 'AceLibrary' (a nil value) Your AddOn apparently does not play well with others, but doesn't play at ALL alone... Also, the latest ZIP file contains the following: - Ace2 - Babble-Class-2.2 - Babble-Mount-2.2 - Babble-Race-2.2 - Babble-Spell-2.2 - FuBarPlugin-2.0 - RPHelper2 - RPHelper2_GUI - SpecialEvents-Aura-2.0 - SpecialEvents-Mount-2.0 - SpecialEventsEmbed Previous releases only had RPH2 and its GUI. The additional directories belong in "RPHelper2/libs", if I'm not mistaken. Even manually moving all of that into the right directories does not fix this AddOn. It is completely and utterly broken as of your last release. All is not lost, however, for it seems that the previous version (archived on 02/09/08) seems to work just fine! I'll keep you informed as to what happens with the 02/09/08 version, if anything. Incidently, the TOCs are all still "out of date".

Found another bug. When I either try to use /rp or the mini-map button, I get the following error and the GUI does not open. Date: 2008-09-06 12:52:54 ID: 55 Error occured in: Global Count: 1 Message: ..\AddOns\RPHelper2_GUI\RPHelper2_GUI.lua line 4: Cannot find a library instance of Waterfall-1.0. Debug: [C]: ?

Once it was line 36, now it is line 4.

Just one question. Can this be disabled/turned off when not RPing with out having to log out and disable the whole addon?

If I d/l here, WoWAce updater is gonna wanna overwrite it.2 questions,should I d/l from here and block it on the updater..or wait and you'll have it up top date through WoWAce? Sorry to be so annoying :( btw, this is "justcallmefred" from WoWAce forums.

Yes. The libraries may not be, but RPHelper itself is current as of this morning, 9/2/2008.

Is this more updated than WoWAce?

*sigh* Look, I'm sorry I haven't been checking here religiously; I've been trying to get this thing to work with WOTLK. Uploaded a new file this morning, and the Enable/Disable bug should be fixed for real this time, as should the mage bug that SpinR discovered. Also, I included the Ace Libraries for those who don't have any other Ace addons. They are current as of 8/29/08. If you use the Ace Updater, don't bother moving the folders into your WoW directory. If you don't, just make sure that you don't overwrite any files that are more recent when copying the folders.

I have a work-around for you. Remove RolePlaying Helper from your Add-Ons directory, and remove the .LUA files from your Saved Variables *and* your server/character specific folders and reinstall. The button will reappear and your changes will be intact (at least mine were).

I am having the same problem. I disabled RP 2.0 and have not been able to get it to start again. LoadIt shows the mod enabled but there is no button and it is not functioning. I have tried moving all of my buttons and cannot find it hiding under anything.

I think that will NEVER work again...

I ran into some confusion here to. Think /rp let me turn back on but for some reason the map button ended up behind another button not where I thought I had left it.

This will sound rather lame...but I accidentally switched it to disable...and now I can't re-enable it....how does one turn it back on...and I'm talking in game...doesn't matter if I disable or enable the mod in the mod selection window, it does nothing.

Gnome/Mage getting strange omissions in GUI. Some events like Conjure Food not showing up with chance/rate sliders on option screen. Modifying char lua to .99 chance and still nothing comes out when casting this spell. Anyone else seeing this or have idea what file may be corrupted?

Imported Warrior, THEN Undead... it don't works. There are 2 strange issues: 1) There isn't any function to remove the minimap button: rightclicking shows some options, but there is not "Hide Plugin". 2) When I import phrases, the "Accept" pop-up stays there, still, wherever I click, until I close the panel... Could it be you have to upload the updated version? :D

The "Any" LUA is generic, things that any character of any race or class might say or do. For instance, upon taking fall damage, it doesn't matter what race or class you are, "Player's knees buckle from the fall" will probably be an appropriate emote. It should be in the import list as "Generic;" it's up to you whether you want to reimport it or not. Yes, inputting stuff in the GUI is slower; there are a couple reasons for this. First off, I had users telling me that LUA editing was frustrating - they didn't like the reloading, the meticulous comma checking, etc. Secondly, the LUA editing system was really bad for people who played more than one character of the same class. Urgh the orc warrior won't say the same thing on a Heroic Strike as Bizzle the educated gnome warrior. Anyway, yep. Import undead, and then warrior, and your changes should show up in the lists. Let me know if you have problems!

Hmm, this is interesting, but HELLISH more, more slow in application... So, I must first import "undead", then import "warrior", for example. And the "Any" LUA, is now useless?

There is absolutely no reason to edit the LUA files, unlike with the first incarnation of this addon. The lua files included are only to provided defaults, and are only loaded when you first run RPHelper on your character. All customization should be done through the UI in the game. If you really are hellbent on editing the LUA instead of using the GUI, you can use the Import phrases function on the initial options screen and select Warrior (or whichever LUA you have edited). I advise you to wipe phrases first, though, so you don't end up with duplicates.

In no way it gets my warrior.lua's phrases... I've double checked it, the commas are alright, I really don't know what is wrong...

Actually, there already is! When you right click on the button, there's an option that says "Hide Plugin". Selecting that will remove the minimap button (or the FuBar plugin) without disabling RPHelper altogether. :)

A way to get rid of the useless minimap button?

Hi folks! Friendly, long-absent mod author here. Because I'm a horrible, opportunistic wench, I've decided to finally fix this thing, because doing so may help me snag a WOTLK beta invite. >.> However, lest you think me to slimy, I really have been planning to update it for the X-pack, and if I can do it before anything really breaks, so much the better, right? ;) No ETA, because I'm still pregnant and fantastically ill, but I have someone helping me, so it shouldn't be too long. What to expect: -Besides fixing the cheesy error that Blizz introduced by finally fixing their typo in 2.4, I'm going to look at the event firing. It seems that the combat log changes affected basic events too, because my characters seem to spew "enter combat" messages every time they engage a new opponent, which is ridiculously obnoxious. -Upgrade from Ace2 to Ace3. This should reduce some processing bloat, the number of libraries needed for the thing to work, and the number of really old libraries to keep on hand just so this will work. -Fixing known bugs that have been there foreeeeeeeever. -Maybe add some new features? This depends on how well the rest of it goes. ;)

Check this thread about how to fix the problem with the config UI not showing: http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.php?topic=12355.msg197537

Got same prob as jbomb

Having a problem with getting the config UI to show. I type in /rp and get nothing. no error or anything.

It's in ther beta mods, called RPhelper2: http://files.wowace.com/RPHelper2/RPHelper2.zip

It isnt on that site that I can see, you wouldnt be sending us to the wrong site for some nefarious purpose would you?

This site does not have the latest version of this mod. Go to www.wowace.com for the most up to date version.

had a problem with the Fubar icon for awhile. I have to add the icon every time I log in, on log out it goes away, then the name on the Fubar actually covers other Fubar icons/names. Just weird stuff..

Still waiting on a fix for this bug... :/

I get the exact same problem as SkunkWerks - the same error (I think) and total loss of ability to type in any chat channel - basically I keep hitting <enter> and the comp does nothing. Also if I have my language set to a racial language other than Common or Orcish, and tell RPH2 to RP in that language, it announces, e.g. "RP Helper 2.0: Thalassian" but the RPs themselves appear to come through in the common language (Orcish for my Blood Elf). Love the addon, love the interface, but the game locking on me is getting old, so I'm going back to the old RolePlayingHelper for a bit.

The Brewfest Ram is causing errors when RPH tries to RP an event related to the mount.

I can't seem to get any business out of Lore's developer on this, but I think this mod might be interacting with Lore ( http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/620/ ) in an adverse way. When I spoke to a quest NPC, I got this: Error: attempt to concatenate global 'Lore_Language' (a nil value) File: Interface\AddOns\Lore\Lore.lua Line: 590 Count: 5 And thereafter I couldn't speak at all through the chatbox, in ANY channel. I presume it happened when RPhelper attempted to fire off an RP.

duerma, Thanks for the update! Just a quick question... The prior version had a minimap button. Do you use minimap buttons on the newest version? I'm not seeing any. I'm asking because my screen got all screwed up after patch 2.2 and I just want to make sure nothing is off screen. Thanks! Martek

when I try to import the file it simply wont accept me hittingthe button even after the phrases are wiped

Sorry for being slow to respond - these last weeks have been kind of crazy. Re: Adding a button to hit enter for you all the time... I don't think I can do that. To be honest, I'm not really very good at writing GUIs, which is part of the reason that this mod didn't get an update until I discovered Ace2. I can try to find a work around, but the best I can promise is an all caps reminder in the tooltip. :p Yes, 1=100%, and I've told the damn thing a million times to show it as a percent, but to no avail. If you added all your old sayings to the LUA files, then go to W WorldofWarcraft/WTF/<your account/<your server>/<your character>/Saved Variables and delete RPHelper2.lua. Alternatively, you can use the "Delete all sayings" and "Import sayings" from the files that you modified. Thanks for the bugs, all - I will look into them.

Here is the fix to the problem I was having. bmurray over at the wowace forums was nice enough to point this out. The GUI folder inside the RPHelper folder had to be pulled out and renamed to RPHelper2_GUI Works like a charm now.

Message: ..\AddOns\RPHelper2\RPHelper2.lua line 31: attempt to call method 'initializeOptions' (a nil value) Debug: [C]: initializeOptions() RPHelper2\RPHelper2.lua:31: value() ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:3406: ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:3331 [C]: ?

the slider for events seems ill defined. does 1 = 100%? Ive modified the text file to hold all my old sayings, but they dont appear, I dont need to enter them one at a time do I?

well its been working great but 2 things Error: bad argument #2 to 'find' (string expected, got nil) File: Interface\AddOns\RPHelper2\RPHelper2.lua Line: 698 Count: 2 when polymorphed ....happened today ---------------------------- and lockpicking seems to be missing

Since the interface requires you to press enter or tab out of the interface and it is beyond your control to alter this, maybe you could put in a save changes button that programatically does the enter or tab out for us. This should help with the intuitiveness of adding new items. As for deleting I was having problems clearing an RP (a blank box stayed and even on 100 chance and allowing for delay (waited 30 second or more) it still seemed to go off giving nothing for the RP on the event sometimes (like you typed '/s ' and pressed enter. So maybe instead of trying to make it remove null RPs we could have individual delete buttons by each one.

Ok, so enter seems to work, but um... kinda confusing, and easy to screw up.

Skunkwerks, it works just fine. You have to press enter in order to get it to save. Graltaram, Cyrnus, I'll look into those.

It's a nice redesign. But it doesn't work. The phrases fire off, true enough, but any changes you make to sayings, settings and such, they don't hold through a reload, or even, for that matter, closing and reopening the window.

I have found another bug. It doesnt remember whether you have turned off rp using the checkbox between sessions. I have to flip the checkbox twice to turn it off. Also i have found sometimes rp events turn on in the middle of a session even though the box is unchecked

Well let me start off the comments on the new sitedesign with an (hopefully) easy bug. On my Druid when I open the shellfish traps outside of Shadowprey village in Desolace I get the RP of the spell Tranquility. Edit: It seems the tranquility RPs go off when he is opening world bound chests too.
