AutoEmote

Version: 1.2

by: Tajin [More]

AutoEmote lets you chat with more style.

Originally this addon was made to cope with the lack of chatbubbles by making talking players a bit more noticable (with emotes).

It has evolved from there and now features a wide variety of emotes that get triggered automatically when you chat and depending on what you say.

So no matter if you just want something that makes it easier for others to spot you when you're talking or if you want a nice tool to help your roleplaying, this might be just the addon for you.

Commands:
/autoemote - toggles the addon on/off

Default setup (per channel):

/say - Reacts to a wide range of generic keywords or checks for ! / ? at the end of the line if it couldn't find other keywords
/party - Uses the same filter as /say but only triggers when partymembers are nearby (needs testing)
/yell - Makes your character play the /shout emote
/emote - Uses a different filter that is tailored to toggle for different /emote keywords
For your own safety, AutoEmote will not trigger while you're in combat.
By default, AutoEmote is set to react to English and German keywords.

Here's an example :
/emote whistles happily

[Tajin] whistles happily

This will automatically trigger the /whistle emote.

Custom configuration:
If for any reason you aren't happy with my predefined filters, you can adjust them to your own needs. (though I'm always open for suggestions that I can include in the next update)
The filters are fully configurable.

To do so, open the "AutoEmoteFilter.lua" in a texteditor and make your changes. The basic layout is explained at the beginning of the file, but it should be fairly clear.
(if it isn't clear enough, then you probably shouldn't mess with it anyway)

Thanks for reading,
enjoy the addon.

v1.2 - 10.04.2014

Fixed a bug with the namefilter - emotes should now trigger only for your own chat, as intended.

v1.11 - 04.04.2014 - Quickfix

Fixed the default filter - /sitchair wrongfully occured too often

v1.1 - 04.04.2014

Rewrote filtering mechanism
Filter stored in separate file - easier to adjust
Some safety checks added - AE won't trigger in combat
All channels can be used (in theory)
Partychannel only triggers emotes when partymembers are in range (requires testing)
Default filters for /emote channel added

v1.0 - Initial release

listen to messages on /say
messages filtered "manually"
on/off trigger included
on/off state is saved

That depends only on how the filter is configured, you can completely adjust that to your needs.

Oh and yes, some of the emotes check only the first word to avoid false positives.

For example:
"Yes this is no good"

If in this case it wouldn't check only the first word, it would trigger a /disapprove emote instead of the more suitable /approve one.

Go ahead, take a look at the AutoEmoteFilter.lua.
All entries with the number "2" check only the first word.

Though it's rare, there are occasions where my character will emote for other people if a keyword shows up; it's not just in /yell, though that is more reliable to reproduce. Very, very strange.

That could to be a bug in the API, I can't find any other reason for it.

That shouldn't happen at all. No matter what channel you use, the first thing the addon checks is if the message was sent by you.

{" laughs ","laughs"}

Kinda redundant. It would be enough to just use "laughs", that covers both possibilities.

I'll put some more testing into the /emote channel and see if I can improve things a bit. I also suspect that some special characters like "öäüÖÄÜ" are not recognized properly.

As always: Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks a bunch for your reply! I appreciate the filter explanation but I tried using the examples below to see if it'd work for me but still nothing.

I typed out: /emote laughs loudly per your example below and nothing happened. I haven't touched the filters at all. A friend of mine downloaded the mod and is having the same problem as me. I've tried /reloadui, restarting the game, and reinstalling the mod.

Am I doing something wrong?

By default the emote filters are set up to activate around the keyword.

For example:

Code:

		},{	
			3,
			{" laughs "},
			{"/laugh"}

Would only activate on an emote such as:

/emote laughs loudly.

It would not activate on something like

/emote laughs.

Because the filter is set to look for a space before and after the keyword, and in the second example there isn't one.

There's a few ways to get around this. Currently, I'm using a set up like this:

Code:

		},{	
			3,
			{" laughs ","laughs"},
			{"/laugh"}

Which would trigger for both commands. While it increases the likelihood of false positives, I haven't done extensive testing on it to see what the rate is.

However, this may not be your issue.

Can you give any more details?

I had to do a lot of editing in order for them to function properly with how I type my emotes and say commands ICly, but after doing so it works great. I've noticed two things though: (1) It seems that in order for the addon to start filtering properly, you need to trigger it with /say. For example, if I log in (or reload my UI) and attempt to use an /emote trigger, it won't function. However, if I use a /say trigger it will, which then allows the /emote triggers to fire properly. (2) The yell filter seems to be bugged. It not only triggers when the player yells, but whenever someone within range also yells. I'm yelling for other people!

Thanks for reporting.

1.0 doesn't work either. Is there a clash with another addon maybe? I'm using FTC and SpamFilter. Perhaps SpamFilter is doing something it shouldn't be? SpamFilter blocks out gold seller ads from chat.

It shouldn't. I'm also running this alongside Spamfilter and an assortment of other mods. Could it be the install or the download was corrupted?

Mind you, I haven't tested the latest version as of yet, but I'm just about to do so.
