WG Invite is an addon to be used in the World PvP zone of Wintergrasp. It scans the chat for people looking for invites, and automatically invites them into the raid.

This addon is named after BG Invite, which became useless way back when Cross-Realm Battlegrounds were added.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basic Usage

Only for Wintergrasp
This addon was designed for, and therefore only useable, in Wintergrasp.

To start using this addon, you need to be in Wintergrasp. Once you enter wintergrasp, or if you logged in in Wintergrasp, the configuration dialog will appear. It's very simple, you choose to activate or deactivate the inviter, and then hit "Done" to hide it. You can bring it back up by typing "/wginvite" or "/wgi"

If the inviter is activated, anyone who says "invite" or "inv" in the general chat or a whisper will get automatically invited into your group. After two people have joined, it will convert into a raid. Case doesn't matter, and they can be part of the message. "invite", "invite me", "can i get an invite?", "inv", "inv pls" and so on all work.

Removed Features and Localization

Making Locals
I'm no good at localizing addons yet, so if you make or find a localization file, please feel free to send it to me!

There is no event that fires when any player enters a zone, so I cannot make it auto-invite anyone who enters Wintergrasp. I tried polling the who list every so often for new entries, but that created lag as well as errors that by all means shouldn't have happened. So, don't ask me to add this functionality.

Currently this addon is only localized in English, and no plans are made for addition localizations. However, if you happen to make or find one, please feel free to send it to me! It would be much appriciated by me and the users!

Credits

WoW UI Designer
WoW UI Designer is a great IDE, but I still had to learn lua coding. It doesn't do everything for you, just makes it easier.

I, Derrekk, made this AddOn from scratch using WoW UI Designer, so it does deserve a lot of credit, it is a great IDE, and made making the windows much easier. Though I still had to learn lua AddOn Coding, it provided a useful environment for me to create my AddOn. NOTE that WoW UI Designer will be useless to you unless you learn to code basic AddOns.

I would also like to thank the maker of the old BG Invite for the inspiration, I never realized how much I missed feeling this useful until it was gone. And all praise World of Warcraft, MMO god!
