Well, I promised more goodies.... And here's the first of several.


But before I get into that, if you missed the notes on v0.04003, I changed the way the Status colors updated. It should be more accurate on updating people joining, leaving, going AFK, etc. with a live update as well as an automatic update every 15 seconds while the UI is open. (This shouldn't cause much of any extra work for your computer, so fear not!)


Now, on to the new feature....

Auto-Promotion to Raid Assistant.

First of all, this is OPTIONAL and defaults to OFF. You can change this from the FuBar Menu.

As for who it picks -- Anyone that is designated an administrator to the current raid. This means that the raid creator as well as WRM administrators should automatically be promoted to Assistant when they join. (Illydth might comment more on specific permissions that may or may not trigger it.)

It is set up to only promote them when you invite them. That means, if you click "Invite All", "Invite [class]", or click their name, it adds them to the list. Once it promotes them, they're removed from the list unless the mod sends another invite. Which means, if you don't want a particular person promoted, demote them and don't worry about it! (See below)




This is meant to save yourself a little bit of effort ... not to be a complete replacement of the Raid tab. So, it will not promote anyone you like, just those the mod recognizes.

Additionally, it *might* be possible to accidentally have someone re-promoted. This could happen in a situation where:
1) The mod attempts to invite a second time, and
2) The server triggers a "PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED" event -- basically, any time anyone joins or leaves the group, and, I believe, when people are re-arranged.

Each PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED event will allow Auto-Promote within 15 seconds. After that time, the list of names for Promotion are cleared.



That should be a pretty good summary of the workings of this feature. If you have any questions, let me know. :)
