  • Raid Leader, Raid Assistant, and Party Leader can now issue reassignments by typing /ea sa %t, typing the new ma/sa name in the options window, by targeting the new ma/sa and clicking the "MA:"/"SA:" text in the assisting window, or by their keybind.

  • FIXED an error that would occur upon exiting a battleground when Honor+ was installed too.

  • ADDED StopDPS sound notifications.
  • ADDED Support for External Sound Pack addons. These are automatically recognized by EA, and can be easily edited or enabled and disabled at will. They only extend the available sound pool.
  • ADDED the ability to select assist call sound and stop-DPS call sound independently from a common pool of sounds.

  • FIXED the encoding on some of the soundset files so they actually work now.
  • Improved load time by Unregistering some events upon leaving world. As suggested by http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-realm-argentdawn&t=253872&p=1&tmp=1#post253872
  • Improved the targeting and assisting functionality.
  • Moved around some internal things, seperated out into multiple files for modularity sake.
  • Now Pets can be set as MA or SA and have their health status (alive dead etc) change color in the assisting window like regular raid/party members do.
  • Now when you press the assist keybind or use a macro to assist the MA or SA, the banner message and sound will not play. It will only show/play when some form of external influence initiates the assist. (Like a broadcasted assist call)
  • REMOVED the auto announcment when the current MA or SA clicks the assisting window to assign a new one. Now only Raid/Party leaders and promoted people will automatically call to specified channel upon clicking said window.
• 1.1
  • ADDED code to have you announce Set-MA to raid if you are the leader, promoted, or one of the current assists by clicking on the Assisting Window.
  • ADDED keybind to toggle Auto Assist.
  • ADDED Sound Sets. Now when you recieve an assist command, you can set a sound to play. Currently there are 5 but more can be added, even by the end user.
  • FIXED %% commands with leading white-space not being rocognized; as well as other misplaced spaces and trailing words in some cases.
  • FIXED an issue with the /ea stop|stopdps command. It now properly recognizes when you are wanting to whisper and normal modes.
  • FIXED assist calls breaking you away from looting. Now you will no longer auto assist (change targets) while you are looting a corpse.
  • UPDATED the stopdps command to be fully WoW Version 1.10 compliant.
• 1.0
  • ADDED a color picker to let the user choose what color to make the banner text messages.
  • ADDED Many more messages moved to the localization file.
  • ADDED option to automatically hide the Assisting window when not in raid or party.
  • ADDED standard window/keyboard interaction. Now when you press the [ESC] key when the options window is open, it will close like other windows.
  • Assisting Window - ADDED dynamic window resizing based on the length of the names of the MA and SA. The window is always as small as it can be.
  • Assisting Window - ADDED new ideal looking graphics.
  • Assisting Window - FIXED a bug where the window's texts would overlay on top of other windows in certain situations.
  • Assisting Window - Rewrote all the interface code.
  • Assisting Window - UPDATED dragging code to allow you to grab the window anywhere instead of just the text names.
  • UPDATED the color storage table to be user settable. (This will be more noticeable in the future.)
• 0.99
  • ADDED /ea stop or /ea stopdps. This command when called by a MA or SA will stop other players with EA installed from attacking their target (if they are in DPS mode). Useful if it is important for the whole raid to stop attacking a mob in case it gets away from the tank. This only affects players in the specified announcement channels. (setable with /ea annch)
  • ADDED better debugging modes and information.
  • ADDED status colorization to the Assisting window. MA and SA now appear white when normal, blue when out of raid/party, red when dead (or fein death), and grey when offline (and still in your raid/party).
  • ADDED the ability to whisper a specific command to a specific player. To use, simply type the callassist or stop command as usual followed by the player to whisper. ex: /ea callassist Gearshaft or /ea stop Gearshaft.
  • ADDED token support into all print statements. This will help with localization and quicker access to variables on the development side.
  • ADDED user mode: /ea mode [dps | tank] The default is DPS which is standard functionality. When set to tank mode, you won't switch targets when an assist is called even if you have autoassist enabled and you will not stop attacking when a stopdps command is called.
  • CHANGED: Now, player names are not case-sensative when typed into EnhancedAssist via either the UI window or the command line.
  • Other less significant changes/improvments too.
  • Simplified more of the functions for faster execution.
• 0.98
  • Added the ability to set boolean settings with On/Off or 1/0.
  • Changed the appearance of the assisting window. (This will likely change again soon.)
  • Corrected an assist assigning error that occured when you would target someone, then click your Assisting window.
  • Numerous minor coding updates and corrections.
  • Wrote an Options UI.
• 0.97
  • Added reset to defaults ability /ea reset or /ea default.
  • Corrected an issue with the setting of the assist people that was too strict, loosened up the rule set and added a "verified" reporting if the assist can be verified as an assist.
  • Removed some 5000b of code.
  • Unified the message printing commands.
• 0.96
  • ADDED /ea callassist; this will, you guessed it, call an assist. You won't need to make a macro to assist any more and instead be able to just bind a key to it. Alternatively you can replace your macro's say string with /ea callassist. This will send to the specified channels a user customizable announcement informing them to ... assist. Just like now, but stored in a better place.
  • ADDED a CallAssist keybind. no more macro required to do assists. (and alternatively you can still type /ea callassist into a macro)
  • ADDED a check to make sure that a target is assistable before setting it as one of your assists.
  • ADDED a new check to the doAssist function that will check for if the main assist has a target before assisting, and will abort if they do not.
  • ADDED a new token to the interpreter. Now you can use $P to refer to your own name in announce text; in addition to $MA, $SA, and $T for main assist name, secondary assist name, and target name.
  • ADDED clearer error messaging when doing an assist. "MA is not nearby", "MA has released and is no longer in the instance", etc.
  • ADDED the ability to announce assist calls to multiple channels. Previously the code was only half implimented and I came across a very elegant way to dynamically detect, add and restore table elements to get this implimented.
  • Assists can be announced and read from SAY channel as well as PARTY and RAID, or any combination of them. (Assist via WHISPER must still be done manually)
  • Converted internal refrencing of settings to english instead of binary. Additionally wrote a setting updater so you won't have to re-set your options (even there's only like 5 that are affected.) This check will be removed in version 0.98.
  • Converted the doAssist function to use an actual player name instead of a [1] or [2] and subsequently a ton of checks.
  • FIXED the assisting a dead target. Now you can assist someone who is dead laying on the floor calling out assists, unless they have released (in which case they are no longer in the instance and shouldn't be calling assists anyways because THEY CAN'T SEE MOBS!)
  • REMOVED: AssistAnnounce. This may have been useful in Lower Spire back when it was hard, but not useful at all in a raid. 39 people shouldn't report to the chat window that "I AM INDEED ASSISTING YOU" or whatever. Pretty excessive... gg
  • Spelling Correction and documentation clarification...
  • Stripped out 80% of the code in most functions that was useless, checks of checks of checks that had been way checked over too much already. You were only sending a 2 or a 1, don't need to check it 14 times, kthxbye. Totally scrubbed down the code and reworked it to be much more efficient and dynamic.
  • Updated keybinds: Now you can bind a key to assist the MA (quite handy) and if you *are* the MA, and you hit your keybind, you'll assist the SA. Same functionality for the Assist Secondary.
  • Will only report to the banner area upon assist if you actually do assist, and not just blindly every time it's called.
• 0.95
  • Added an option to report assist calls to the big text in the middle of your screen. (use /ea banner)
  • Added toggles to each of the boolean style /commands
  • Changed binary settings options from 0/1 to off/on for more intuative use.
  • Changed the variable storage method from custom per-character to Blizzard's method.
  • Reconfigured the assist window so that transparency settings only affect the background art, and not the text too.
  • Repaired saving engine and rewrote it to store it more concicely. (Changes are properly saved per-character now)
  • Started localization code.
  • Unified color commands, and made the /commands more dynamic
  • Updated the drag code of the assist window to the newer standard.
