FlagRSP2

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

FlagRSP2 is an AddOn for World of Warcraft that allows players to add additional information about their characters into the game. It is designed to support role players and allow others with MSP compatible AddOns to easily see if the character is a role player or is even in character. Characters can be fleshed out with additional names, titles, and detailed descriptions.

FlagRSP2 is a continuation of flagRSP 0.5.6 by Flokru. FlagRSP2 is a completely new code base designed to be more efficient and play well with other AddOns. As of 2.5, FlagRSP2 uses the new Mary Sue Protocol to communicate, and no longer uses chat channels.

If your FlagRSP2 copy is OLDER than 1.5.x you should delete the FlagRSP2 directory first!(The Curse Client will do this for you if you use that.) Copy the "flagRSP2" folder into your World of Warcraft AddOns folder. Before selecting your character and entering the game other MSP RP AddOns such as MyRolePlay must be disabled to prevent conflicts.

If you really like this AddOn and would like to help support it, there are a couple of things you can do. You can help by providing clear bug reports that try to accurately describe the problem and screenshots are helpful. Submit your trouble ticket here.

I am using FlagRSP2 and have had no trouble (aside from the normal bugs/limitations). Your post is not being very specific - exactly what "trouble" are you encountering?

I have just installed this addon on a machien that had it quite some time back.

Whenever I turn on "sticky descriptions", I get a Lua error screen which states the following:

...nfig-3.0\AceConfigDialog-3.0\AceConfigDialog-3.0.lua:1648: attempt to call method 'IsVisible' (a nil value)
Time:[current local time of the machine, no obvious problems with weird times/dates]
Count: [increments seemingly every 1/10th of a seconds by one.
Stack [C]: in function 'IsVisible'
...nfig-3.0\AceConfigDialog-3.0\AceConfigDialog-3.0.lua:1648: in function <...nfig-3.0\AceConfigDialog-3.0\AceConfigDialog-3.0.lua:1641>

This dialog box will not close, and the count will keep incrementing as far as I can tell. I let it get to 20k before I quit the game and submitted this. :)

I am on Win7 Professional, 32Bit, if that makes a difference.

Ive a Suggestion for your addon here.

Something ive noticed often is people roleplaying lore classes and such, such as Necromancers and Runemaster. Would it be within the addons power to alter the tooltip to show which class someone is playing as instead of what they rolled as? it would be a nice little additonal and add some more variety to roleplay.

Hi Azxiana, hope the holidays and the move went well for you.
I'm a BIG fan of your add-on.
I've just bought an new laptop as my last one's graphics card fried. I can access my files on the old laptop but can't run WoW on it.
I've downloaded the latest FlagRSP2 from here onto the new laptop but I don't know how to transfer all the character descriptions over or where they might exist.
I don't really want to rewrite them all for all 30 of my toons.
Please can you advise me how/whether they are transportable.
Thanks.

You can try looking into the old computer's World of Warcraft folder, then into the WTF folder, from there navigate through the account/user/server/character/savedvariables
and you can try copying those files, I don't use this addon myself (at least not yet) so i cannot tell you exactly where you will be able to find them.

Note: I am not ignoring issues or bug fix requests. I am currently in the process of packing and moving across the country during the holidays. I should be able to get to fixing the bugs after all the crazy moving is done.

I have an issue where I will type something up and it will look fine, but when I click on my character and see it in the tool Bar description, some words are missing letters etc... it's fine in the edit box but when it comes to the pop-up box it seems to leave things out. Anyone able to help me?

Apart from that an awesome mod and thank you for making it.

For your title? You may have the "Cut Title off after so many words..." option turned on.

It's not the title, it's the text inside of the description box (Meaning: The box that pop's up when you click on a player). For example: I could type in the a whole paragraph of information into the mod and it would be fine, I then wait for the right amount of time for it to load and be able to be seen in the pop-up box and the changes will eventually come through -but- a word that was spelt correctly when entered (and still is when you open up the mod to edit text) will come through on to the pop-up as "wpon" or cut in half like "Wea".

Know how I can fix this problem or if it is common?

The description is sent in multiple parts. It is possible the lines are not being cut properly when being sent.

Could I get a copy and paste of the description?

Not a problem.

In the text input box:

"The Light is No Warm Friend when used as a Tool of Retribution."

--Name - Arrodis Lightfury.
--Age - 121 Years of Age. (25 years Human).
--Race - Blood Elf.
--Height - 6'5".
--Status - Single.
--Sexual Preference - Female Sin'dorei.
--Build - Built.
--Eye Color - 'Shattered Crystal' Fel Green.
--Skin Tone - Tanned 'Peach'.
--Class - Blood Knight (Paladin).
--Skills - Master of Holy Retribution.
--Rare Traits - Natural Affinity with Holy Magic / Eyes turn Golden when Wielding the Light.
--Affiliated With - The Blood Knight Order.
--Past Affiliation - The Knights of the Silver Hand.
--Place of Birth - Stormwind City.
--Home City - Silvermoon City.
--Allegiance - The People of Quel'Thalas.
--Current Residency - The Isle of Quel'Danas.
--Weapon - Two-Handed Sword: "Light Strike".
--Companion - Phoenix Hatchling: "Phyranes".

The pop-up window:

"The Light is No Warm Friend when used as a Tool of Retribution."

--Name - Arrodis Lightfury.
--Age - 121 Years of Age. (25 years Human).
--Race - Blood Elf.
--Height - 6'5".
--Status - Single.
--Sexual Preference - Female Sin'dorei.
--Bui Built.
--Eye Color - 'Shattered Crystal' Fel Green.
--Skin Tone - Tanned 'Peach'.
--Class - Blood Knight (Paladin).
--Skills - Master of Holy Retribution.
--Rare Traits - Natural Affinity with Holy Magic / Eyes turn Golden when Wielding the Light.
--Affiliated With - The Blood Knight Order.
--Past Affiliation - The Knights of the Silver Hand.
--Place of Birth - Stormwind City.
--Home City - Silvermoon City.
--Allegiance - The People of Quel'Thalas.
--Current Residency - The Isle o Quel'Danas.
--Weapon - Two-Handed Sword: "Light Strike".
--Companion - Phoenix Hatchling: "Phyranes".

Nothing between the two were changed. A simple copy and past for both. As you can see the discrepancies in the pop-up, not the input field.

I have the same exact problem, and it's really frustrating. I work really hard to make a description, only to have bits of it chopped out and jumbled around.

The most annoying case, and I think I found the problem to it, is my Druid's description. Now, it should look like this (Note that I'm giving you just a small piece of it):

Languages Known: Darnassian, Common, and various animal languages.
(( Tongues user. ))
(( Random RP is lovely, and so are you. <3 ))

The woman that stands before you doesn't appear too different compared to the standards of her kin. Long, dull, silver hair falls nearly to her waist in messy ringlets. Golden brown eyes glow warmly and sit above full cheekbones. Her nose is narrow, slightly pointed, and contrasts with her glowing eyes.

Now, this is what shows up in my pop-up box (just a small part of it):

Languages Known: Darnassian, Common, and various animal languages.
(( Tongues user. ))
(( Random RP is lov, and so are you. eekbones. Her nose is narrow, slightly pointed, and contrasts with her glowing eyes.

As you can see, I have a large part of my description cut out. Now, I've reduced -A LOT- of stuff, and I've found that when I do that, the chopped up areas grow less and less.

This is incredibly annoying to have to deal with, since other people see the chopped up areas as well, and I have to remove a lot of my description just so they can see it properly.

I really hope this is fixed, or there is already a fix to this. Please, let me know if there is.

I had a similar problem, and I think for me it was a mod. I have one called Identity-2 that makes it look like "Therine: [Cantras] blah blah whatever" when I talk in certain channels (to explain who I am, if I'm on an alt, for instance). What happens sometimes is that I'd type a message, hit the character limit, hit send, and it would be a couple characters shy-- because [Cantras] pushed them off the end. So I'd be missing letters out of my flag because it sent [cantras] along with my text.
Wouldn't explain giant things, but worth a try maybe?

I have a curious issue after disabling and subsequently removing FlagRSP2 - apparently many people with the addon still see the name title and description for my character.

I've had the addon disabled for a month now, and uninstalled it with the curse client a couple of days ago after I was told that I was still wearing the RP flag.

Is there a way to purge this flag?

1.) Go over to their house and bring a sledge hammer with you.
2.) Destroy their computer with the sledge hammer.
3.) Repeat for each person.
4.) Purged!

The information is saved on their computers.

I would think that one solution to the user's problem would be to reinstall FlagRSP2, fill in the character's first name but nothing else, and leave it up for a couple of weeks. The blank profile should propagate across the server and replace the other one, yes?
