Description
Main function
This addon is designed for PvP servers to help track player killers (PK's) movement and their location. Everyone with this addon will share information of recently seen PK's. When you target a player killer, information about him will be sent to other users with this addon. This addon works cross-channel so if you want to hunt PK's, you can see in which game channels they were seen.
PK icon
Addon has its own icon, which provides information about current zone. If you click the icon button, it will take you to the PK list. If you enter a zone with recently seen PK, or a new PK is seen in your zone, icon will start to glow red (same like the debt icon). On the left side of icon, you can see count of new warnings since you opened the list last time (if any). On the right side, there is a total number of PK's in list. When you mouseover the button, it will show you short info about PK's here. You can move this icon by shift-click & drag.
PK list
PK list shows list of PK's filtered by channel. Then you can filter it by zone. Every entry in list is the most recent information about this PK. For each PK in list, you can see zone, classes, levels, world map position of the player whoo seen him and time, which passed since warning. Every PK dissapear from list after 6 minutes of not being seen. List can be sorted by selecting sort option.
Blacklist function
If you don't want to recieve warnings from specific zone, you can add it into blacklist. This is done by selecting the zone in the PK list and then pushing a button right of it. Warnings from this zone will be hidden permanently. If you want to remove zone from blacklist, you can remove it in config.
When you enter a new zone with a recent player killer warnings, you recieve a message about how many PK's were seen in this zone.
Config window
Typing /pkw will open the configuration window. Here you can enable / disable these things:
- sending / recieving warnings
- sending warnings about people in your party, if they are crims / PK's
- sending info about yourself, when target self - for PK's who likes challenge
- showing warning text when entering dangerous zone
- disable chat popup window for PKWarning channel (NOTE: will disable for all private channels, - same like in Interface Options).
- On BLACKLIST tab, you can remove zones from blacklist (more info below)
Warning about warnings: It is not recommended to have chat messenger function enabled for private channels. This addon disables it by default (from 0.4), but if you need it for other private channels, you'll have to turn it on in Interafce Options -> Messages -> Private channels
The more people using this addon, the more safety against PK's! If you like it, please rate it and recommend it to your friends! And if you thing you encounter some error, or addon is not working like you expected or have anything else to say, please post it to discussion below - I am looking forward to every post!
