FlagRSP2
FlagRSP2 is an AddOn for World of Warcraft that allows players to add additional information about their characters into the game. It is designed to support role players and allow others with MSP compatible AddOns to easily see if the character is a role player or is even in character. Characters can be fleshed out with additional names, titles, and detailed descriptions.
FlagRSP2 is a continuation of flagRSP 0.5.6 by Flokru. FlagRSP2 is a completely new code base designed to be more efficient and play well with other AddOns. As of 2.5, FlagRSP2 uses the new Mary Sue Protocol to communicate, and no longer uses chat channels.
If your FlagRSP2 copy is OLDER than 1.5.x you should delete the FlagRSP2 directory first!(The Curse Client will do this for you if you use that.) Copy the "flagRSP2" folder into your World of Warcraft AddOns folder. Before selecting your character and entering the game other MSP RP AddOns such as MyRolePlay must be disabled to prevent conflicts.
If you really like this AddOn and would like to help support it, there are a couple of things you can do. You can help by providing clear bug reports that try to accurately describe the problem and screenshots are helpful. Submit your trouble ticket here.

There is a problem with your function flaggedChanHandle. The last 4 lines of code are unreachable. As a result no description-flags will be saved and no descrption-popups will be displayed in the game. Change FlagRSP2.lua like it's shown below and the descriptions will be back. in 1.3.3 from line 951:
should be:
You will only notice this error if you delete your stored flag database. Have fun.
Hello, I just dl'ed flagRSP2 and can not see descriptions.
I turned all my other addons off.
I used windows archiver to unzip at first. Couldn't see descriptions than saw that you shouldn't use the windows tool; so I deleted the folders in addons, dl'ed it again and used Winar. Same problem.
I than deleted 2 folders in WTF > Account > Saved Variables (flagrsp.lua and flagrsp.lue.bak)
Deleted folders in addons, used Winrar to unzip, Installed flagRSP, still have all other addons turned off. I am stil lunable to see descriptions.
Please help.
*Edit - Yes I am in the xtensionxtooltip channel. People can see my profile. I can not see any profiles.
I'm having the exact same problem. Tried the same things as well.
Ansawa;
Perhaps a list of all of your AddOns?
I am releasing a new version in a few days that will be removing lots of legacy code and vastly improving how all the information is handled.
No joy on that, Azxiana. I'm going to give it one more go with deleting all of my FlagRSP files and installing 1.3.2, but I'm just about to give up on it as being hopelessly broken.
Are there any addon conflicts that you know of so I can screen what I've got for them? I've gotten rid of MyRoleplay already because I hate it.
Edit: Have reinstalled. It's still not displaying my titles and RP status at all. :/
I'm getting a persistent problem where FlagRSP "forgets" my titles, extra names, and RP status and won't display them to me or other players. I can see everyone else's extra stuff just fine, it's only mine that aren't displaying. I've deleted everything and reinstalled it completely once, toggled all the options on and off, checked the xtensiontooltip2 channel, and cannot find anything that should explain why this isn't working right. This happens across all of my characters; it happens whether I have MyRoleplay enabled or disabled, and while deleting and re-entering the information fixes it for me (but not other people) for a couple of minutes, it disappears again as soon as FlagRSP refreshes.
I'm running WoW on an Intel Mac, though given the way Addons work I don't think that should matter.
Any help?
Markdall;
I use BetterZip for OS X. It is the only decent one available that can make Windows XP's archiver work remotely well.
You can and should download 7-zip (it's free) if you don't like the built-in support that the OS provides you. 7-zip.org
I wrote a small batch file that uses 7-zip to convert RAR'd filed back into zip files, click my name for a link to it.
Microsoft can't put decent archive support into Windows - they'd be sued instantly.
Cyntax; FlagRSP2 is already updated for 2.3.0. Type /rsp or /flagrsp for available options. As well, if you have Fubar installed there should be an icon on there. Make sure it is not on standby.
Spitfire126; Are you using any custom font packs? Also, both typed and looked are exactly the same.
There is a description sending bug I am investigating.
Flagrsp2 worked fine but then just today I updated my Character's discription, and it keeps messing it up by removing letters from words or splicing words together.
Example .... I typed "Relationship" and when it updated it said "Relp" I typed "big looped earrings" when it updated it said "blooped earrings." what's going on?
My Discription as I typed it:
Nickname: Rima
Height: 2'4
Weight: 36 lbs.
Age: 45
Race: Gnome
Birthplace: Gnomeregan
Gender: Female
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Pink in three pig tails.
Attitude: Brave Curious Kind
Professions: Skinning Mining
Class: Mage
Sexuality: Straight
Status: Single
Family: Penlink Spirocrank (Cousin)
Pets: silver tabby (Kara) white kitten (Kamo) snowshoe rabbit (Gidget) mechanical squirrel (Gadget) tranquil mechanical yeti (Gizmo)
History: She fled Gnomeregan with her Cousin, Penlink, unable to do nothing but watch as her entire family fell under the sickness caused by an invention gone wrong, becoming dreadful Leper Gnomes along with thousands of other Gnomes. Thereafter, Delrima, Penlink, and several other Gnomeragan Refugees took refuge in Ironforge thanks to the generosity of their distant cousins the Dwarves.

Sorry for double post, but how do i change my profile? i can't see any icon on the minimap.. do i type /flagrsp options ?
Any news about an update for 2.3? just curious.. i don't to be harsh on you!
Anything makes me happy :)
Doompuppy;
There is a five minute cool down on description sending even if it is requested right then. I hope you have patience to keep watching that long! This behavior has been around since the original FlagRSP was created and is especially important with the new chat channel spam throttle implemented by Blizzard on all servers.
Yeah, I'm aware of the five minute cooldown. I'm talking about the description not triggering AT ALL - I've been logged on for several hours, and the description doesn't trigger (despite there being DP requests on the channel), and if I change the description to be 1441 chars or longer, it'll update within five minutes (as per the cooldown).
Simply put, the description has never triggered shorter than that, even playing the game regularly with the addon on for well over a week.
Ok, I got this addon about an hour ago, and it was working fine for a little while. Then, I accidentally unchecked the "enabled" option (from right-clicking the bubble in-game), and the bubble disappeared. I can still see people's info on mouseover, but can't see their profiles, though mine are apparently still viewable. I went onto one of my alts, and I could access it there, but when I tried changing my options I got an error message, something to do with applying a mouseover, I think. So either I can't re-enable it since I accidentally disabled it, or one of the options is glitched, or a combination of both. Now it's not working even on alts I haven't tried it on yet. I've tried reinstalling it and everything...
Try deleting your variable data for it - that should reset your options (and your descriptions, names, titles etc - so write those down somewhere first) - the files to delete would be <WoW>/WTF/Account/<accountname>/SavedVariables/flagRSP2.lua and possibly the same with a .bak extension.
Ok, I deleted the variable data, and even re-downloaded the file again just to be safe, and it seemed to work. That is, the bubble was there, and I could enter my info and set my options. However, I could not view anyone's descriptions, or even see the enhanced tooltips on mouseover. When I tried to use the viewer, I got this error message:
Interface\AddOns\flagRSP2\flagRSP2.lua:713: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
You might want to verify that you are actually on the xtensionxtooltip2 channel - if not, join it (and click to make sure it doesn't show up in your general chat window).
That got it working, thanks! ^_^
I've been trying for a good week or so now, and I just can't get this AddOn working for me.
Or rather... after some tinkering, I can see other people's descriptions just fine. My prefix/suffix name(s) and title for the character(s) show up. But, for whatever reason, I simply cannot get my descriptions to show. They don't show for me, they don't show for anyone else.
I've tried wiping and reinstalling the addon a few times (including saved variable files), and I haven't used any previous versions either.
Help?
