Compatible with WorldMap, BattlefieldMinimap, AlphaMap (including AlphaMap Battleground maps).

Has Multiple viewing modes - just use the provided key binding or Left-Click on the WorldMap PartySpotter button to cycle through them when in a Raid/Battleground and see which mode you find most useful.

Default mode displays player dots as numbered icons showing the Raid Group they belong to, and are also coloured based on the character class of that player.

Rings around player dots will also indicate when players are :
Corpses (Black ring)
Ghosts (Grey ring)
AFK/Inactive (Pink ring)

: Alt-Click on Players to more permanently highlight them and track them via the minimap

Individual groups can be highlighted on the map by clicking on that group number in the PartySpotter Map Key (Map Legend).

Chat messages can be prefixed with the number of the Raid Group a player is in, and/or they can be coloured based on the Raid group the player is in if viewing Coloured Raid group dots.

Can also highlight Friends or Ignores or Guild Mates in the Raid. Key binding or WorldMap Button can be used to cycle through the different highlighting modes.

Use a key binding or <Control>-Left-Click on the WorldMap PartySpotter button to show/hide Map Keys.

Can also track the Raid Leader via slash command

USE   "/pspot"   FOR A STATUS REPORT AND A FULL LIST OF SLASH COMMANDS.



Details
-------

By default, players in different raid groups are displayed on maps with numbered Icons indicating their raid group that are also coloured based on the Class of the player character, but 4 alternative modes are available :

1.) Each raid group can be displayed in a different colour.  Players can change the colours by Right-Clicking on that Group's button on the Map Key (Map Legend).  Group Headings in the Raid Frame, and Raid Pullout Frames are also coloured to match the on map dots.  There is also an option to change the colour of BattleGround and Raid messages from Raid members to match the PartySpotter colour for that Group. (/pspot -c)

2.) OR Each raid group can be displayed with a numbered icon with a simple Black background, while the local Raid group the player is in is still displayed as a coloured dot

3.) OR show dots simply coloured based on the character class of the player

4.) OR Simply have your local Party showing as one colour (default Blue), and all other Raid/Battleground members as another colour. Nice and simple to track your Party if you don't NEED to track all parties separately.

NOTE : To take full advantage of this AddOn's features, don't forget to use the provided Key bindings to cycle through the main modes :)
(OR Left-Click on the WorldMap PartySpotter button to cycle throught the viewing modes)

When in a Raid, then chat from other Raid members will be prefixed by their Group number. (Toggle with '/pspot -n')

You can Highlight particular Raid Groups on the map to make them easier to find/track by left-clicking on a group number on the Map Key. While highlighted, player tooltips on the map will only list players in the highlighted group.
By Left Clicking on Map Icons you can also highlight the particular party that that Player belongs too - clicking any icon after this will cancel highlighting of that Party.

You can Highlight individual Players by name using the provided slash command, OR via the new Right-Click Player Menu option "Highlight", OR by <Alt> clicking on the Map Icons themselves or on the Player names in Raid Frame.
Individually highlighted players show as a Red "X" on a black background on the Maps and can be tracked via the Minimap.
PartySpotter will remember the players you have selected to highlight between logins.
You can cancel the highlighting of a particular player via the slash commands again, or by <Alt> clicking on the Raid Frame buttons, Map Icons, or the Minimap Icon for that Player.

EXTRA Features include the ability to highlight friends, ignores, guild members, the raid leader, or any individual player you specify, as long as they are in the same party/raid, or in the same BattleGround.
Cycle through these modes via the Key Binding or Slash command or Right Clicking on the WorldMap PartySpotter button.
Added a "Highlight" option to the Right-click menus for Player/Party/Raid Popups. So, for example, you can now Right-Click on a Player's Portrait, or their name in the Raid window, and choose the "Highlight" option, and they will appear on the Map with a Red "X" so that you can locate/track them.
Highlighted Individuals are can also be tracked via a Red "X" icon on the Minimap.

USE   "/pspot"   FOR A STATUS REPORT AND A FULL LIST OF SLASH COMMANDS.

Please Note :
a.) You can't make the PartySpotter key visible unless you are in a Party/Raid/Battleground, so Toggling the PartySpotter Map Legend with the key-binding won't appear to do much at all if you are sitting on your own in Orgrimmar ;p
b.) Coloured Raid Headings and Chat are only available when you are viewing each Raid sub-group with differently coloured icons, and not when using the default Numbered Icons, or just showing other raid sub-groups in a single colour.

Developed mainly because in BattleGrounds, EVERYONE is represented with the same default Yellow Icon, and you can't tell who you are grouped with easily.

Localisation : German, French.
(Couple of Version 3 options not yet localised)



----------------------------------------
Full Feature List for Version 5.xx.xxxxx
----------------------------------------

Note: where ever I say "Map Key", you can substitute "Map Legend" if you are more familiar with that terminology ;)

- Default Combined viewing mode shows each sub-group in a Raid as a numbered icon, showing exactly which sub-group it belongs to and also colouring it with the character class colour as defined in the Blizzard Raid Frame (/pspot showgroups combined)

- OR show each sub-group as a simple numbered icon, and your local Party group in blue (default colour can be changed)

- OR can now show each sub-group in a Raid as a different colour  (/pspot showgroups icons)  { See the "What Colour Group am I in?" section of the PartySpotter Readme.txt file }  You can change the colours of any groups by RIGHT-CLICKING on the Map Key for that group and changing via the standard WoW Colour Picker frame.
When using this mode, then the Raid group labels are also coloured, and even the messages from Raid group players in the chat frame can be coloured also.

- OR can show simple dots coloured based on character class

- OR turn off sub-group highlights and use simple version 1 functionality to highlight your Party in one colour, and all other Raid members in another colour (/pspot showgroups off)

- new WorldMap button labelled PartySpotter in top left of title bar.
Basically this is for people who don't alter the WorldMap, and for whom the Key-bindings don't work while the map is open :
Left-Click		: Cycles through the main viewing Modes
Right-Click		: Cycles through the main Highlight
<Ctrl>-Left-Click	: Toggle the PartySpotter Map Key

- Player dots will now have a flashing halo when their Status changes based on the following rules :
Black	- Dead and NOT Released Corpse
Grey	- Ghost after Releasing Corpse
Red	- In Combat
Pink 	- AFK
(The dots of Offline players should completely blink off and on)

- PartySpotter Icons now show on BattleField MiniMap

- PartySpotter Icons now show on AlphaMap         : For full compatibility, AlphaMap must be updated to "AlphaMap (Fan's Update)"
PartySpotter does have limited support for original Alphamap (but must be in a Party/Raid before you will see any unit icons within BattleGrounds.)

- A PartySpotter Map Key visible on the WorldMap or AlphaMap/BattlefieldMinimap when in a Party/Raid, showing which icons/colours represent which Raid Groups.

- Left Click on a particular Raid Group on the PartySpotter Map Key to highlight that Group on the WorldMap/AlphaMap/BattlefieldMinimap and make sure it becomes visible if it was previously obscured by other player icons. All other PartySpotter icons will be hidden and revert back to the small default yellow dots, while the highlighted group will be displayed with a Numbered Icon. Click on the same group again to stop highlighting a particular group.
While highlighted, player tooltips on the map will only list players in the highlighted group.

- Right Click on a particular Raid Group in the Key to change the Colour that will represent that group on the Map

- The PartySpotter Map Key is draggable, and will remember where you last positioned it. (The WorldMap and AlphaMap/BattlefieldMinimap map keys are independant of each other. Note that there is one key for use with both the AlphaMap & Battlefield minimap. Once moved, then it becomes independant from these frames, but it will only show when you have one or the other open.)

- You can use a Key Binding to toggle Show/Hide of the Map Keys for when you don't need to see them

- Messages from Raid/Battleground members will now be Prefixed with the number of the Raid Group they belong to e.g. "[4] "
Toggle this with the  "/pspot -n"   command

- When viewing Coloured Map Icons, the Group Labels in the Raid Frame, and the headings of Raid Pullout frames will also be changed the same colour as the that group's on map icons.

- When viewing Coloured Map Icons, there is an additional option to change the colour of BattleGround/Raid messages to the colour you have specified for that Group's on map icons. Coloured Battleground/Raid messages are marked with an "*", so the example message prefix above would become "[4]*" and the message would be the same colour as that group's icons. (Whispers, Yells, Says, etc.  will not have their colours changed but will still be prefixed by a Group number)

- Highlights of Friends/Ignores/Guild should take priority over other icons, so if you can't find a particular unit/group, make sure you disable Friend/Ignore/Guild highlighting

- Can now highlight the Raid Leader when you are in a Raid   "/pspot -L" toggles this function

- Can now highlight an individual player, so that you no longer have to mouse over lots of units to find a single unit    "/pspot -t <name>"

- Highlighted Individuals can be tracked by a Red "X" icon on the Minimap.

- In addition to a slash command, players can now highlight individual players via an additional "Highlight" option in the Right Click menus for Players/Party/Raid members
(Highlight the same player again to stop highlighting them)
For example this means you can target a player, and Right-Click his Portrait, and select "Highligh", to show his on map Icon as a Red Cross display a tracking Icon on the Minimap.

Should be compatible with ALL Clients.
Please e-mail me if you find this AddOn is or is not compatible with a certain language client.

Welcome any and all help with localisation of the few English words used :)

( This AddOn only needs to be installed on your machine to work and display other party members/raid members correctly.  i.e. it does NOT need to be installed on other member's machines for you to see them with a different coloured icon. Obviously, they can install it as well, and they will then see you displayed with a different colour ;)




IMPORTANT KEY BINDINGS INTENDED AS THE MAIN / EASIEST WAY TO CHANGE PARTYSPOTTER BEHAVIOUR
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Key binding to highlight your Party members only so you can check where they are
Press again to go back to the viewing mode you were using previously

- Key binding to cycle through the main PartySpotter modes
1.) Show Numbered Raid sub-groups coloured by Character Class
2.) Show Differently Coloured Raid sub-groups
3.) Show Numbered Raid sub-groups
4.) Show Player dots Coloured based on Character Class
5.) Show All Other Raid sub-groups in the same colour
NOTE: Left-Click on the WorldMap PartySpotter Button to cycle through the above viewing modes


- Key binding to cycle through the PartySpotter highlighting functions
1.) Friends
2.) Ignores
3.) Guild mates
4.) No Highlighting
NOTE: Right-Click on the WorldMap PartySpotter Button to cycle through the highlighting modes


- Key binding to Show/Hide the Map Keys

Slash Commands
--------------

/pspot        : Displays the status of PartySpotter, and this list of Commands

/pspot 0      : Disable PartySpotter  (i.e. /pspot followed by a zero)

/pspot <1 - 10>  : Enable PartySpotter and set the delay between WorldMap Updates in seconds.
Default value at install is 10.
PartySpotter is now mainly event driven, so I'd suggest "/pspot 10" is the best way to enable PartySpotter if previously disabled.
(It is possible to use a decimal point and set this vaue to 0.5, or 3.6 for example)

/pspot showgroups combined : If in a Raid, then player dots will show the Raid Group number they belong to, AND the dots will be coloured based on the character's Class

/pspot showgroups icons : If in a Raid, then people in different sub-groups will be represented by different coloured icons

/pspot showgroups numbers : If in a Raid, then people in different sub-groups will be represented by icons clearly marked with their group number

/pspot showgroups off : If in a Raid, then people in different sub-groups will be represented by the same Orange icon. Your local Party/group members are still highlighted differently as Blue

/pspot showclasses	: If in a Raid, then Player dots will be coloured based on their Character Class as per the colours in the Blizzard Raid Frame

/pspot showfriends	: to TOGGLE the highlighting of Friends

/pspot showignores	: to TOGGLE the highlighting of Ignores

/pspot showguild	: to TOGGLE the highlighting of Guild mates

/pspot -l		: to TOGGLE the highlighting of your Raid leader (Marked by a Red "1")

/pspot -t <name>	: will highlight the specified individual(s), so that you don't have to mouse over lots of icons to find one single person (Marked by a red "X")
Right-Click Menu option when clicking on a Party/Raid Portrait or Chat frame Name to Highlight a player will also do the same thing.
Highlighted Players will be tracked in the Minimap
The slash command has been extended and can accept multiple names separated by a comma and/or spaces)
To remove an individual player's highlighting, simply highlight them again to toggle them off.
To clear the entire list, use the "/pspot -t" slash command with no name parameter.

/pspot -t		: leaving the name blank, will cancel the highlighting of any highlighted player(s)

/pspot -c		: to TOGGLE coloured BattleGround/Raid messages when showing different coloured map icons

/pspot -n		: to TOGGLE Raid Group Numbered Chat Messages

/pspot -s < 8 - 36 >	: to adjust the size of the PartySpotter Icons (Default 18)

/pspot reset : reset all defaults, and anchor the map keys to the default map positions



Differently Shaped Minimaps
---------------------------

As it works with SimpleMinimap automatically, and wouldn't change much in other circumstances, there is no GUI control of this option. However, it is possible to manually specify the Minimap style you want via the provided key binding to specify the style you want.
OR via the following slash command :

/pspot -m [#]

Where # is a number specifying the style of map you want to force PartySpotter to use.
Use the keybinding to cycle through the available styles to choose from, or just use "/pspot -m" on its own.

 0 "Automatic" -- adjusts its shape automatically based on SimpleMinimap skins

 1 "Full Square",

 2 "Rounded Top Right Corner",
 3 "Rounded Bottom Right Corner",
 4 "Rounded Bottom Left Corner",
 5 "Rounded Top Left Corner",

 6 "Rounded Right Side Corners",
 7 "Rounded Bottom Corners",
 8 "Rounded Left Side Corners",
 9 "Rounded Top Corners",

10 "Squared Top Right Corner",
11 "Squared Bottom Right Corner",
12 "Squared Bottom Left Corner",
13 "Squared Top Left Corner",

14 "Circular";





What Colour Group Am I In ?
---------------------------

Whether you are in a Party, or Raid, your local Party/Group Members are ALWAYS displayed with a Blue Icon - Except when using the "Combined" viewing mode to display party group numbers & character class colours.

If you are moved to a different sub-group within the Raid, then that group becomes represented by the Blue Icon, and the colour of the other sub-groups is shifted to accommodate this.  The PartySpotter Map Key will always show which Raid sub-group your local blue icons belong to, and which of the other sub-groups are represented by which other icons.

If you change the default Blue colour for your Party, for example to White, then your Party will ALWAYS be White.  Your Party is also easily identified because it is the only one to the right of the numbers on the Map Key.

---------------------------------------

- fix to tooltip bug when in a Party, but not a Raid

/pspot showgroups combined
You can still Highlight individuals Groups and other Group icons will revert to basic yellow dots
You can still Highlight individual players, the Raid Leader, or Friends/Ignores/Guild Mates
All the previous viewing modes are still available

- new WorldMap button labelled PartySpotter in top left of title bar.
Basically this is for people who don't alter the WorldMap, and for whom the Key-bindings don't work while the map is open :

Right-Click		: Cycles through the main Highlight
<Ctrl>-Left-Click	: Toggle the PartySpotter Map Key

- Player dots will now have a flashing halo when their Status changes based on the following rules :

Red	- In Combat
Pink 	- AFK
(The dots of Offline players should completely blink off and on)

telic@hotmail.co.uk









Changes in v3.35.20003 from v3.30.20003
---------------------------------------

- added AFK flags to tooltips. Useful in World Raids/World PvP - less useful in BGs for obvious reasons ;)

- enhanced the checking for Dead characters to include Ghosts who have released their Corpse

- tooltip names are now coloured based on their character class, no matter which viewing mode is being used

- fixed Eye of the Storm BG Minimap Highlighting



Changes in v3.30.20003 from v3.20.20000
---------------------------------------

- toc update

- new Display mode allows Player Dots to be coloured based on their Character class - as per the standard Class colours used by the Raid frame
You must be in a Raid to see Class colours, and your Party is not highlighted when using this mode.
You will see this mode available when you use the Key Binding to cycle through the available Main viewing modes
NOTE: Please remember that Key Bindings are the MAIN INTENDED way of using PartySpotter (there are also Slash commands as detailed in the Readme.txt file).
Or use the new /pspot showclasses slash command
The Map Keys are not visible when displaying Unit class colours.

- added extra details to the Tooltips to indicate when Players are Dead or in Combat or Offline
Dead Player names in the Tooltip are followed by	(x)
Players in combat are followed by 			(*)
Offline Players are followed by				(v)
The following limitations apply :
Dead Players are only marked as dead if they have not yet Released their Corpse. i.e. Players awaiting resurrection at a GY in BGs are not reported as Dead by the Blizzard API
Only Players in range can have their combat status reported properly - so people who are a long way off will always appear out of combat. I will investigate further but it seems to be a limitation of Blizzards API.
The above limitations are why I haven't implemented different Icons on the map, and have limited the information to tooltips for the time being.

- small changes to ensure that Flag Carriers are ALWAYS visible above Player Dots

- changed the Chat Frame hooks to solve problems with Pet Bars and handling when pets are summoned while in combat

- put the Right-Click menu Player highlighting option back in

- Blizzard Patch 2.03 promised it would fix any remaining Blocked Action issues

- compatibility with WoW 2.xx

- can no longer target fellow Raid members by clicking on their dots courtesy of WoW version 2.xx

- removed the Right Click 'Highlight' option until Blizzard sort out their terrible taint issues with secure code



Changes in v3.10.11200 from v3.00.11200
---------------------------------------

- numbered Raid Group chat messages are now optional. Toggle with the  "/pspot -n"  command.



Changes in v3.00.11200 from v2.52.11200
---------------------------------------

PLAYER TARGETTING
-----------------
Can now click on a Player Dot on the Map to Target that Player. (Perfect for targetting your Warsong Flag Carrier).
If there are multiple players in the same location, then repeated Clicks will cycle through the names displayed in the tooltip, targetting each in turn. So, for example, if you move your mouse over a PartySpotter Icon, and the tooltip shows that there are 5 people in the same location and you wanted to target the fourth one, then click 4 times and you should be targetting the player you wanted. This functionality comes with 2 small warnings :

Firstly, people can be moving around and move out from under your mouse, in which case you won't target them ;p

Secondly, there are sometimes MANY people in the same location, and I'm aware its not practical to click 18 times to find one person in a mob of 22 players, but that's what the Raid Frame is for ;)

PLEASE NOTE : If you Highlight a Raid Group (by Left Clicking on a Group number on the Map Key, then you will only see Tooltips for members belonging to the Highlighted Group, and Left-Click Targetting of the on-map Icons will only select from members of the Highlighted Group. So, for example, if you are trying to click on one guy in a mass of 22, then if you know their Raid group, you can highlight it via the Map Key, and when you mouse over the player icons you will see a maximum of 5 player names in the Tooltip that you can target. i.e. the five members of that highlighted Raid group.

(You can also target individual players highlighted with a Red "X" by clicking on their new Minimap tracking Icon - see the section below on CHANGES TO SINGLE PLAYER HIGHLIGHTING)


COLOURED RAID GROUPS
--------------------
Raid group numbered icons are now the default mode for new users, however, if using the coloured icon mode, then you can now change the colours used to mark the different Raid Groups, including the colour for your own Party. You can access the standard WoW Colour Picker frame to change a dots colour by Right-Clicking on that group's button on the Map Key.
Your Party will always be marked with the same colour (default of blue), even if you change the default - please see the "What Colour Group Am I In ?" section of the readme.txt file for details.

(When in Basic viewing mode, where all the other raid groups apart from your party are represented by the same colour, the colour used is the same as the one used for Group 1 when viewing each group with different colours; So changing the colour used to represent all other groups in Basic viewing mode, will also change the colour used to represent Group 1 when showing groups with different colours.)

When using different coloured dots to represent the Raid Groups, the colours of the group headings in the Raid Frame, and group Raid Pullout Frames, will also be coloured as per the PartySpotter group colours.


CHANGES TO CHAT
---------------
PartySpotter will now prefix messages from members of your Raid/Battleground with the number of the group they are in e.g. "[4] "
When using different colours to represent the Raid Groups, you also have the option to change the colour of BattleGround/Raid messages to match the PartySpotter colour for that group. Messages coloured by PartySpotter are flagged by an extra "*". So the above example prefix above would become "[4]*".
PartySpotter will not change the colour of Whispers/Yells/Says/etc.  only Raid/Battleground messages
"/pspot -c"  toggles this option
Basic compatibility testing carried out with ChatMod and no problems found so far - let me know if you find any issues.


CHANGES TO GROUP HIGHLIGHTING
-----------------------------
When you Left-Click on a Group on the PartySpotter key, then that group will be represented by Numbered Icons on the map, and all other players will revert to the standard small yellow dots. Obviously, I still ensure that the dots for players in that group are shown above other dots that may have been hiding them. This should make it much easier to highlight the members of a particular group.

As mentioned above in "PLAYER TARGETTING", when you highlight a particular Raid Group, then you will only see Tooltips for members of that Group when you mouse over player icons on the maps, and you will only be able to Target players in the Highlighted group.


CHANGES TO SINGLE PLAYER HIGHLIGHTING
-------------------------------------
Added a new "Highlight" option to the Right-Click Popup Player/Party/Raid menus.  i.e. the menus that appear when you Right-click on player portraits, or individual Raid buttons on the Raid frame.  Using this Highlighting option is the same as using the "/pspot -t <player name>" slash command and will show that player on the map with a Red "X".  Highlighting the player again, will cancel the highlighting.

Highlighted Players can be tracked via a Red "X" icon guide on the Minimap, which can be clicked on to Target that player.
(Note this should work on ALL Clients within Battlegrounds;  But may require localisation work to accurately plot player positions outside of Battlegrounds : Only French and German included so far.  Functionality shamelessly 'borrowed' from Gatherer, which shamelessly 'borrowed' from MapNotes, except for some Battleground tweaks I added)


CHANGES TO MAP KEY BEHAVIOUR
----------------------------
New Key Binding that will Show/Hide the Map Keys, so you don't have to look at them if you don't use them often.

Slightly reduced the size of the PartySpotter map keys.

The Map Key displayed on the World Map can be dragged around (click-drag the "PartySpotter Key" text), and will now reattach itself to the World Map when you drop it - i.e. probably only impact people who use AlphaMap or MetaMap to change the scale of the World Map, and who want to re-position the key, and still have it move with the Map when they move the Map itself.

The Map Key originally provided for AlphaMap (which is separate to the WorldMap Key), is now designed for use with the Battlefield Minimap or AlphaMap, and will display when either one is open. In other words, people who use the Battlefield Minimap will not need to open the World Map (or AlphaMap) to access a PartySpotter key.


PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
------------------------
PartySpotter is now more event driven, and for this reason, I have changed the default length of time between automatic background updates to 10 seconds. If for some reason, you believe there is a long delay (e.g. 10 seconds) before you notice changes to groups or highlighting on the map, then you can use the "/pspot 1" command to make PartySpotter update its icons once every second - as per the old functionality. If no one has any problems with long delays before changes affect the icons, then I plan to phase out automatic updates altogether.
"/pspot 0" will still disable PartySpotter, and "/pspot #" where # is a number between 1 and 10 will turn PartySpotter back on with that number of seconds between automatic background updates.


MISCALLANEOUS
-------------
- made the WorldMap and AlphaMap icons slightly larger, and the BattlefieldMinimap icons slightly smaller.

- made sure the PartySpotter Keys are hidden when you leave a Raid/Party

- prevented the "You are not in a guild" message that appears at log in for players who..........are not in a guild ;)

- fixed a bug that would occur when using different coloured Raid group icons, and highlighting your own group
