Old Instance Finder

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Are you looking for people to run The Mechanar with to grind some old rep? Want to find out if anyone's running Molten Core so you can tag along for the Ragnaros achievement?

You can either do /who The Mechanar and wait for the result then do a second /who z-"Molten Core" or...

With Old Instance Finder you can run a search of a load of dungeons at the same time... Either type /OIF to get the Gui to select the dungeons or just type /oif 80 and it will search the dungeons for level 80s you can also search for ranges (/oif 65-70) or just anyone above a certain level (/oif 66+)

PROVISOS :-

The search takes some time to process all the dungeons so don't expect all the results immediately, they'll trickle through over the course of a couple of minutes
If no runners are found in a specific dungeon you get no text.
If someone was in Molten Core and then leaves before the search can fire back results you get messages saying "There is one level 80 in Dalaran" and it looks odd because you didn't search for Dalaran

Unfortunately that's the design of the addon, here's the reason why... for more than 3 names usually blizzard outputs the results to the Who panel... can you imagine if you searched for ICC and Uld and suddenly you got back 200 results.
The only way of displaying them is to be in the who panel. I could try putting the results there but I'd need to see if it was possible to a) add the results from ICC and then b) add in Ulduar without overwriting the ICC results. I'm not sure that's possible but I'll look into it

<Deleted a couple of error reports>
The problem was that an ace library had been cleaned a little and a function no longer worked.

New version means you can resize the window, but it won't look very nice when you do!
(Sorry)

Going to release v1.0 when Ruby Sanctum is released. No other changes should be necessary
