About MOTDstripper

MOTDstripper strips the guild and system message of the day from your chat frame, freeing up precious screen real estate and making your chat frame cleaner upon logging in to the game. Messages of the day are only shown if they've changed since your last login.

Usage

At this early stage of development the add-on doesn't have user-configurable options. If MOTDstripper has seen either the current guild message of the day or the current system message of the day (or both), it will strip them from your chat frame. Messages of the day only show up if they've changed since your last login.

Development Progress

The add-on is in its testing phase. At least on my machine it gets the job done. However, while it is unlikely, the add-on may very well melt your computer or show other unwanted behavior. Please do report bugs and suggest improvements at the ticket tracker.

Also, if you can, please review the source code and point out any obvious mistakes I made. For me MOTDstripper is a means of applying what little Lua knowledge I have to a real-world project. I'm fully aware that the source code must have plenty of room for improvement. I'm willing to learn and I'll gladly accept any hints you can provide.

In case of new features please note that I'm not particularly inclined to add unnecessary bloat to the add-on. Features I'm considering are integrating MOTDstripper into the game's add-on options window, pop-up notifications upon changed messages of the day, and being able to review past messages of the day. One thing at a time though, don't hold your breath.
