What is WRUGS?
WRUGS is a whisper authentication addon for World of Warcraft. This addon is mainly created as an addon against gold spammers, but aswell as a project to learn lua for me. But as everyone can make a mistake, there might be any bug in the addon. If you find any bug, or error message, please make a screenshot and PM it to me.
Trust me, you won't get any gold spam whisper until there's anything made against this addon.
WRUGS will basically block any whisper you will receive, but to make it a bit more doable it will not block the following players:
- Players from your guild
- Players from your party
- Players from your raid
- Players from your friendslist
- NPCs
- Gamemasters
The blocked player will receive a message that will tell the command to authenticate with WRUGS. The command the player has to send you, is WRUGS by default, but can be set to anything you like with the /wrugs setpass command.
Command list:
Code: Select all
/wrugs -- This command will show the status of WRUGS.
/wrugs setpass [New Pass] -- This command will set a new authentication password.
/wrugs hidepass -- This command will toggle the function to hide the password. at your automatic reply when a player is not authenticated yet. Using this command will toggle it on/off.
/wrugs privacy -- This is the same idea as the hidepass command, it will just return a different automatic reply. Using this command will toggle it on/off.
/wrugs add [Playername] -- With this command you can manually authenticate players.
/wrugs remove [Playername] -- With this command you can manually remove players from your whitelist.
/wrugs purgeplayers -- WARNING! This command will purge the complete whitelist.
/wrugs purgehistory -- WARNING! This command will purge the complete block history.
/wrugs [On/Off] -- This command will turn on/off WRUGS.
TL;DR Version:
It blocks all whispers from people not on your friends list or in your guild/party giving them an option to whisper back a word of your choice that will allow all future whispers through to you. This prevents mass tells (such as goldspam whispers and messages from bots) from getting through to you.
Thanks to Ulwar's generous file hosting I have uploaded it to his server and you can find a download link beneath this post.
