  • About Slash AFK (/afk)
  •  

/AFK in English, German, Spanish and Dutch. Read further to find out more about Slash AFK.


Latest version: 4.7 (Searching for translators)

If the latest version of /AFK is not shown, it is awaiting approval for distribution.

There is also a LITE version, which has less options and more ease.The full version contains many more options than displayed here, check it out!

On another game i used to have an addon that remembered my missed whispers when I was afk, well now Runes of Magic has that and more with total control over the messages displayed when you go AFK, are AFK and and received whispers and return to your keyboard.

Primary characteristics

  • No dependencies
  • Many, many options and settings
  • Graphical and Commandline
  • AddonManager, ComeOnIn and Temeraire compatible
  • No advertisement in the chat, uses intended (AFK) prefix on automatic messages
TIP
  • To just change the language of your AFK/DND messages, select the language from the dropdown menu and click the 'Reset Messages' button, then select the language you want to use for the UI.
  • To bind a key to /afk or /dnd:Create a macro, put it on an actionbar and then bind a key to the specified actionbar position.
/AFK base functionality:
  1. Remember missed whispers session-persistantly, display when AFK becomes disabled or when the character logs in
  2. Change automatic reply messages (party/guild/whisper/custom channel)
  3. Change return/going away message (party/guild chat/custom channel)
  4. Enter / Exit AFK or DND mode
Latest (LITE) version commands:
  • /afk [Optional message] (switches AFK mode and optionally sets your reply message)

Latest (FULL) version most important commands:
(There is a GUI since v2.0, AddonManager and ComeOnIn compatible)
  • /afkhelp (displays the full list of commands in the current version)
  • /afk [Optional message] (switches AFK mode and optionally sets your reply message)
  • /dnd [Optional message] (switches DND mode and optionally sets your reply message)
  • /afknotify [Optional: party, guild] (Not specifying 'party' or 'guild' will disable the appropriate notifications, specifying enables them)
  • /afkaway [Optional reply message] (Shows and optionally sets the message to be displayed when you go AFK/DND)
  • /afkreturn [Optional message] (Shows and optionally sets your AFK return message)
  • /afkreply [Optional message] (Shows and optionally sets your AFK reply message)
  • /afkstatus (Shows your current AFK status without changing anything)
  • /afkreset (Resets your AFK reply/return messages)
  • /afkui (Toggles the Settings GUI on and off)

For other addon developers: (v4.5+)
  • SLASH_AFK:GetStatus() returns either "DND", "AFK" or "active"
  • SLASH_AFK:ActionPerformed() tells 'Slash AFK' that the user is active
  • SLASH_AFK:GetSecondsSinceLastAction() returns the seconds since last activity measured (since v4.6)

Upcoming updates:

  • Translations(Need translators!)
  • User requests

This UI Mod is made and mantained by Themba.

Thanks to:
- (v4.5) Erasor84, for additional German translation.
- (v4.1) Roberto Mulet, for the Spanish translation.
- (v4.0) Erasor84, for additional German translation.
- (v3.5) Erasor84, for the German translation.
- (v2.0) Samarith, for volunteering to help with the final compatibilitytest with ComeOnIn v2.03
- (v2.0) Other people who unintentionally partied with me to kill ferrets
- (v1.0) Everyone who whispered me on 24-25 june 2009 to help troubleshooting version 1.0.

Once you've tried 'SlashAFK' you'll see that its a real powerhouse and just as in every good product you can choose between the basics (easy) and the advanced (More options, configurations).

Feel free to give suggestions or make requests.

    When I entered the game, there's were numerous error messages and I had to uninstall this add-on.

    I would not be surprised if you're trying to use this for Warhammer online.
    If you however, unlike your history implies, started playing RoM, it might actually be useful to specify information.

    Getting errors with 4.6
    http://picasaweb.google.com/176593/SlashAFKErrors
    Is there something I need to do?

    Other than that, /AFK is a great addon. Thank you.

    I get the same error. It happens with the US client. I was able to fix it by updating Language.lua to include:
    table.insert(SLASH_AFK.AvailableLanguages, {
    ["text"] = "English",
    ["value"] = "ENUS",
    ["func"] = SLASH_AFK.LanguageButtonClicked,
    })

    And then copying ENEU.lua to ENUS.lua

    Can you please include this fix in the next update.
    Thanks.

    The problem is that the language has not been loaded.
    It looks like it occurred when you logged in.
    (Tested it locally but no errors here)

    Can you tell me..
    . What language your client is set to?
    . Did the GUI still display any text?

    Client language is set for English and the GUI did not display any text.
    It's possible is could be the memory leak, but version 4.11 is working for me.

    I was unable to reproduce failing to load the language without further information.

    I have received word that the problem most likely occurred from a memory-leak in Runes of Magic itself.

    I love this. I have been looking for something that grabs aliases and tracks private messages!

    I do have a couple requests to make this the BEST and ONLY afk addon out there...
    1) It is not clear what "auto-clear status" or "show notifications" or "sound away alarm" do. Tooltips or a description here would help.
    2) I would like a different message from when i GO afk, and when people call out my name WHILE afk.
    3) I am part of a cross-guild chat channel. Can you extend the functionality to custom channels too?
