Mate, Check the "Installation, Configuration & Upgrades" forum's sticky topics. I have been here for SOME time and know exactly what I am talking about. Don't take this wrong, but your post isnt helping at all. It would be great to see mangos development to add some custom features they think would make the server better then retail through an addon system. Everyone can add the addons they want. Edit: Let's not fight, its a waste of time. Lets just agree we disagree.

useless post

the project is still up and running, but slow on development at the moment. I use it as a wow chat client by compiling it without the GUI. You can also code custom scripts to use it as a BOT to watch over the server and execute custom commands. For private use you can add the fishbot script to make it fish for you. Very nice progress. check it out: http://www.mangosclient.org/news.php If anyone wants my sourcecode I have it compiled for wow 2.4.3 with the GUI disabled

first of all, you should post the mangos version you are using (what revision of the source code) and what custom patches you are using. IF no one answers something like "oh that revision+patch-X = bug-Y" then we can start going deeper. Also, be sure you are using one of tha latest mangos revisions or people wont help you because you could be reporting bugs that already have been fixed. And then, most Dev's that fix and know about bugs will talk to you in the "bug reports" section. Post your bug with all the above info and everything else they ask for in "how to report a but" and you will get a usefull answer. good luck!

this kind of feature could also save mangos from lawsuits against the project. Custom features = different server = not an copy wouldn't anyone try to code this? would be so awesome

The only way for someone to whisper you on your account is by using the account name. if the player uses your player name to whisper you wont get the message on another plaeyer. So you will only get spamed by players you give out the info. It wont do more spam either, you can only be online with one character per account. It just makes playing better for players. Mangos already has its own client in development (pseuwow), and custom GM addons, why not start making custom features? I think it would make Mangos stand out over other softwares. And for those who dont want it, it could be released as a custom addon for the normal software..

on Diablo 2 it used to be /w for whispers and /a for account whispers (or something like that) would anyone get motivated to script this? it is a missing feature on retail, is very usefull and is not to hard to script (i guess). Could give mangos that bit of extra style points..

How hard would it be to add the Account whisper feature to mangos? Diablo 2 used to have this feature and I am sure lots of people miss it in wow. Account whispering is the ability to whisper another player no matter on what character he is currently playing on. Security issue: It is not good to have players giving out account names, this will increase mangos hacking. How I think this could work: When a player creates his account he has to fill in: account name - name used to login contact name - name used for whispers and forum posts (so no one knows other peoples "real" login name) The contact name is added to the character list as a new character with a ghost class called "Contact". Whenever the player logs in with any of his characters, his ghost character gets its status set to "online", and any messages sent to this char are redirected to the online twink the player is using. This way the contact characters can be added to the friendslist and even managed with addons like GuildGreet. Players can whisper eachother using: .whispacc contactname message Players can disable account whispers using: .dnd (not the same as /dnd that uses the / instead of a dot) PS: I am not sure if the wow client allows the custom "Contact" character class. Any info on that?
