FlagRSP2

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

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.

Having looked at the code, I'm pretty certain the background is intentional. I've managed to bring the edges back in the current alpha (although the edges of every OTHER tooltip are dark, apparently to pay me back for assuming that a simple fix would work).

I do hear you with that, however. Might be able to do something with an option.

I might just add also; RSP is going to eventually be updated to use the same back-end as MRP anyway. So the two issues people have with MRP won't be issues once that happens.

For more information; take a look at Etarna's posts and the description for the MRP mod.

My main problem with MyRolePlay is that it shows guild ranks, with no way to turn them off... and some people think it is funny to have offensive guild ranks (which I really do not want to see).

FlagRSP does not show guild ranks.

Oh, is that all? You're actually not the only one to raise that, and I see your point there (although I'm not sure, I believe offensive guild rank names may be reportable; the API returns them by default, although the default UI and Armory does not show them). A future MyRolePlay update will feature a more flexible tooltip style, so you'll be able to hide that.

But if you prefer the feel of flagRSP2, I'm updating that too, as above, and it's currently in alpha. Hopefully won't be too long, although there are still a couple of small issues (e.g., the edges of the tooltip are still black when they're not supposed to be, but that was in 2.4 as well).

The RSP codebase is ancient. It really doesn't come as a surprise to me that issues pop up almost every patch.

I don't know when the last time you used MRP was but at least in its current state, it's tiny and exceedingly efficient. It uses a fraction of the memory to store its data, does not require a global channel presence and thus also uses a fraction of the bandwidth.

As far as I can tell, generally there's only two legitimate reasons people dislike MRP. The first is the UI. People don't like the multiple fields or the way they're presented. The second is the way it handles tooltips. Otherwise; MRP is technically superior in every way to any RSP-based project.

I hope you also realise that one of the additional project authors, Etarna, is also the project manager for MRP.

Thanks for the report. I am indeed working on updating this beast. The upcoming version of flagRSP2 will use the MSP protocol (and thus will no longer use chat channels). It will be a short while, however: not due to the MSP support (that works), but due to other issues like the ones you mentioned which are pesky and I'm trying to track down.

I know people simply prefer the UI and feel of different RP AddOns for different reasons, which is why I'm working to bring compatibility back between them so people can choose which they prefer to use.

Is there an ETA on updating this add-on to 4.1? I really do not want to go back to using MyRolePlay as I have to manually add a file to block guild ranks if I use that.

Looks like it's not saving any settings. I change my name and description, I bring up the window again and it's all gone.

I can confirm that bug.

It might be a little while, but I'm working on something...

This worked perfectly! This is my favorite RP addon so I was pretty sad I couldn't use it. Thank you so much!

I love this addon, but I've had some issues with it.. When I tried to clear all my saved character profiles, it lagged out my WoW so bad that I crashed, and since then I can't play with it enabled or it lags me down to 0.5-0.3 fps until it force closes. I've tried several times to remove and reinstall the addon but no luck :\

flagRSP2 and TotalRP2 do not communicate, possibly only on flagRSP2's end. I was informed recently by some new friends that I thought had no RP addons at all, that they were using totalRP2, and their descriptions, last names etc, simply weren't getting through to me. Will post with more details when I can.

after talking to one of the people on the totalRP2 project, this is apparently intentional, and on their end.

One thing ive always wanted from this addon, is to be able to change Race and Class, and i think ive probably requested before but i guess it got lost in comments.

Main reason being:
We have Highborne now, but there still claseed as Nightelves.
My Dwarf [Paladin] would look better as an [Pensioner].

Will we ever see the day?
