New Feature: Auto Report

[**Jake**]

Tired of having someone take point and not have a whiner?
Tired of being a tank and being unable to use your 3l33t skillz because you don't want to lag your whiner?

Then you might enjoy this feature.

New Command: autoreport

After each combat round or after each heal, you will report your status if you gained or lost HP.

New Command argument: report <value>

This sets the amount of hp that must be either lost or gained since the last report in order for a report to be sent.

Enjoy!

Let me be the first to say - thank you!

[**Jake**]

As requested - on the next reboot, the auto reporter will tell you:
You report xxx/xxxhp yyy/yyyma zzz/zzzmv
Rather than just:
You report your status.

Dude that sounds awesome, thanks! Also means a static whine message for all tanks, which will make the healbots very happy LOL!

@Jake: Can you bold it or make it a bright color by default or something though, so it doesn't get lost in spam?

@Everyone: Do we need to have mv in there? or even mana for that matter? Thoughts?

my recommendation - set it on 40 or 50 delta hp.. unless you're a teeny weeny widdle tanky.

good work sir...
I suspect that there might be more tanks in the future...

I might even make one someday.

now that's just crazy talk

[jezer]

Top Marks to you Mr Jake.

[turles]

Oustanding sir. Flat out Fantastic. thank you.

[Rynquald]

Wow, thanks Jake.

Can finally stop putting off making a whiner

[**Jake**]

Yea, actually the plan is to make it bright white if your lit and leave it the same as it is now if you're dead...err i mean not lit. Maybe i'll get that done tonight or tomorrow.

Sweet that makes sense, thanks.. or maybe bright red if not lit or something?

Also, any thoughts on removing mv from it, and maybe mana.. would be interested in anyone else's thoughts on that (for or against) - tanks don't usually have mana displayed in their whiner, and never seen a whiner have mvs.. no biggie, but might distract healers from seeing at the hp, which is really what the whiner is there for.

note (disclaimer): this is not a complaint, just constructive ideas - just in case some have problems discerning the difference lol...

[firebrand]

why not just add an option for it in color set? and while we're on options, allow us to add/remove components like we do with prompt

"you're dead. d-e-d. dead" -clown --> spawn

healobots won't like that idea *snicker*

here's what I whine, never had any complaints.. yet


gain hp, lite down:

You grouptell: '[b:22n4odo2][color=black:22n4odo2].[/color:22n4odo2][color=green:22n4odo2]::[/color:22n4odo2][color=black:22n4odo2].[/color:22n4odo2] lite[color=cyan:22n4odo2]([/color:22n4odo2][color=red:22n4odo2]DOWN[/color:22n4odo2][color=cyan:22n4odo2])[/color:22n4odo2][color=black:22n4odo2]......[/color:22n4odo2] hp 1128 / 1128 [color=black:22n4odo2]......[/color:22n4odo2][color=green:22n4odo2](+51)[/color:22n4odo2] [color=black:22n4odo2]......[/color:22n4odo2]need 0[/b:22n4odo2]'


lose hp, lite up:

You grouptell: '[b:22n4odo2][color=black:22n4odo2].[/color:22n4odo2][color=red:22n4odo2]::[/color:22n4odo2][color=black:22n4odo2].[/color:22n4odo2] lite[color=cyan:22n4odo2]([/color:22n4odo2][color=green:22n4odo2]UP[/color:22n4odo2][color=cyan:22n4odo2])[/color:22n4odo2][color=black:22n4odo2]......[/color:22n4odo2] hp 1057 / 1128 [color=black:22n4odo2]......[/color:22n4odo2][color=red:22n4odo2](-51)[/color:22n4odo2] [color=black:22n4odo2]......[/color:22n4odo2]need 71[/b:22n4odo2]'

..
.. also when I get down to like 100hp, a bright red '[b:22n4odo2][color=red:22n4odo2]CRITICAL[/color:22n4odo2][/b:22n4odo2]' gets tacked on the end..
