RealID Toons

Table of Contents

Adds the current character name of your Real ID and BattleTag friends to the Battle.net alert informing you they have come online. Information is added to both the inline chat notification and the popup Toast window.

Alerts are populated with information based on the format string replacements you choose.
The following replacements are available:

$t - Character Name, uncolored
$T - Class Colored Character Name
$c - Class name
$C - Class Colored class name
$s - Realm (server) Name (only if different than the player's)
$S - Realm (server) Name (Always)
$f - Faction symbol (only if different from player, or on another server)
$F - Faction symbol (Always)
$l - Character level
$L - Character level (difficulty colored)
$r - Character race
$n - Friend note (only shown in Chat alerts)
$N - Friend note (always shown)

These options are available in the Interface Options, or by typing /ridt

Examples

A format string of $t - $l $r $c would expand to something like: Warriordude - 85 Human Warrior

Using the colored substitutes (i.e. $T - $L $r $C) would expand to, if you were on your level 1 bank toon: Warriordude - 85 Human Warrior

FAQs

Q: My friend's character name is colored gray, what happened?
A: Some times the server is overloaded and will not return all the information about your friends, since the addon does not know what class your friend is playing the name is colored gray.

Q: My friend's character name is colored like they are on their previous toon, what happened?
A: Similar to the above question. Sometimes the wrong information is returned during periods of high load. I haven't been able to force this to happen, although I have seen it happen. I am working on trying to solve the issue efficiently.

Q: Your addon threw an error!
A: Please post a ticket, but first check to see if your problem has already been reported and that you are using the current version. Remember, being as detailed as possible in your report will help me fix it faster.

Sorry I couldn't get it fixed in time for the patch. Real life has been a bit nuts. Hopefully I can get it fixed over the weekend.

Ever since the introduction of the Blizzard Launcher you really don't see the notifications of friends logging in with their WoW/D3 characters or SCII/HS/HotS accounts anymore. Have you concidered adding notifications of this? Since there won't be a toast to alter I suppose you would have to set up some sort of friends list monitoring or something like that?

I've thought about it, but polling the friends log is something I'd really like to avoid and the events around the friends list and RealID/BattleTag are sort of spotty.

If I can figure something out it'll get added... but the whole thing seems spotty. I am getting alerts for my WoW friends that change characters. And I get an alert for when they start playing one of the other games.

So yeah, looking at it, but not sure the best way to fix it when it works sometimes...

Yup, it works if they set their launcher to close upon entering a game I think

Would it be possible to allow us to choose what frame strata the pop up is shown in? I've an addon that displays on top of it and no matter how low I set it it's still on top.

The popup is Blizzard's toast frame. I feel like trying to set the strata on that would lead to taint issues.

The alert seems to be shown twice whenever someone logs in, is that a bug on your end or Blizzards?

The last time I looked at it, it was a Blizzard issue. The event seems to fire twice when the desktop application logs your friend in. I'll try to look at it again.
