AutoInvite Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.5.0

by: Sasky, Ayantir, silentgecko

Overview

Simple auto-invite addon - intended for use in Cyrodiil to quickly setup a group invite string without diving into menus. Since expanded to be a part of the group tab, but original slash commands still exist for quickly turning on and off.

Features

Slash commands to quickly enable or disable inviting, and regrouping
Stop sending invites when reach group limit
Change the group limit (when to stop invites)
Options panel as separate tab in group menu
Settings (except for actually running) are saved between loads
Option to only invite players in Cyrodiil (for guild invites)
Option to restart invite after someone leaves group
Option to auto-kick members after set amount of time offline
Button to re-form the group
Keybindings to reinvite or regroup the group

Localization
Translations have been provided by the following people

French - Provision
German - silentgecko
Japanese - Lionas
Russian - ForgottenLight

Usage
Open the group menu and there is a tab (far right) for AutoInvite settings. Set the invite string and any other settings then check enable. Now anyone who types that message (exactly) in chat will have an invite sent.

Alternatively you can use the slash commands to quickly start/stop and for when you want to start/stop without opening any menus.

Known Issues/Limitations

The regroup function doesn't work well through group leader bug.
Queue display is not in-order for position in queue.
No right click on the mini-group (for kick, travel to, etc).
Sometimes the mini-group list on the AutoInvite tab doesn't update properly. There is a button included to force an update if that's the case.

Slash commands
These are for very quick access or for debugging purposes.

/ai - Turn off AutoInvite. Emergency stop button of sorts
/ai foo - Set string to 'foo' and start inviting
/aidebug - Turn on debug logging to chat window. Note: this can be rather verbose.

Example
You're a raid leader and have some spots to fill.

Type /ai xx in chat message to start listening for 'xx' message in chat
Advertise yourself in chat ("Type xx for Bleakers raid group")
Sit back and let the addon manage sending invites

Thanks for the notice. The problem seems to be from the LAM workaround I put in. I should be able to have a fix tonight.

As far as the menu, it's not supposed to have a LAM menu. All of the options are contained in the group tab. I went that route because I felt going into the add-on settings menu to change anything for it would be too cumbersome.

Can you invite them manually (or with "/invite")?
- are they offline?
- do they have special characters in the name?

Is the message in chat or the standard notice in the upper right?

end

if bool and from ~= nil and from ~= "" then

Not bad, but keep in mind that prevents a space from being used as a character. I know it's probably more legacy of Wykkyd's group invite, but I know some groups were using spaces in the string ("bor x" was one from one of my guilds). If implemented, I'd probably use something like "|" for the delimiter and split the strings into a table. Then it's a simple table lookup to check if the string exists.

The main reason I didn't is despite several times asking I never got a response to why multiple invite strings. I felt it'd be clunky unless a fair amount of work went into implementing it on the UI, have more opportunity for abuse (stealing other groups' invite codes because it doesn't shut down your own), and not much benefit.

I've been a bit wary about starting up automatically because it's something that seems like it can get you in trouble more than it'll actually help you.

Group leader checking would probably be a good thing to add, but tbh it's fairly low priority and I likely won't get to it unless it actually causes problems.

If you want to create a patch I'll include it (http://git.esoui.com/?a=summary&p=AutoInvite)

Level restrictions:
Short: I don't agree with a level-based invite restriction, so I will not implement it.

Details: You cannot (reliably) get player information before they join the group, so it'd have to check on join and kick if they don't meet the level requirement, which would be rather jarring. It also doesn't provide a reason for kicking someone. As well, keep in mind with the champion system it's highly possible level 50 would include up to max rank.

Guild invites:
Yes, it's possible, but if I do implement it it would be a separate addon because it's a rather different purpose. I don't really have the time to do something like that at the moment, but my addon is released under the GPL open source license. So if you can find someone willing to code this, they're welcome to use my code as a base and I'll help as I can. In the meantime, GuildInvite Continued is probably the best time-saver you'll get for inviting people to guilds.

Oke was just a idea ;-) Your Addon is the only one who auto invite not see a other one like this one.
So yes i was thinking will be nice to have a auto guild invite for player who try to invite player ;-)

But Guild invite continued i use that one and works great

[PSA] How To Get Almost All Your Add-on Setting Menus to Work With 1.5

I do read the ESOUI forum threads fairly regularly (which are even better for that sort of thing), but that issue wasn't really mentioned. I don't actually use a settings menu (it's put as a separate tab for the in-game menu), and almost all of controls are created by using the underlying controls in LAM2 (not LAM1 or custom). Furthermore, this is a straight-up bug in the ESO Lua code because it doesn't handle the NIL case like it did previously. That thread has 0 relevance to fixing the bug.

Thanks Mokwhy for the error message. I didn't really have enough information to fix before that.

NP I am happy that you update the add-on its so much easier to run groups in PVP Then right click invite to group Thank You ones more for the update

I don't know if you can do that is there a way to put in level like i want only invite level 10 to 50 or sum-ting like that and Me by auto invite for guilds

I am not a add-on maker got idea but cant make them ;-)
