Invite Macros Added

Raid-Space-Invite-MacroWhen logged in as a raid owner or a raid leader, you will be able to access invite macros. They are located at the bottom of the Drafted table. By copying and pasting the text into temporary WoW macros, you will be able to quickly invite everyone that was drafted into the raid. Since WoW macros are limited to 255 characters, RaidSpace will automatically split the macro if needed.

I hope to carry this feature a bit further with a WoW add on that will monitor drafted players in game and invite them as soon as the come online, or leave an existing group. Further more, this add on would provide an in game list of the drafted and waiting player lists.

Also, I added numbering to the drafted list… no more manual counting of players.

Volunteer Note and Class Grouping

RaidSpaceGroupThe Volunteer Note feature is added, which means a person can write a small note to the raid owner or leader when volunteering for a raid. Also, for ease on the eyes, both the volunteers and drafted are grouped by class. This should help while trying to determine where a raid is week class-wise.

Player Notes

Filling a suggestion, I am going to add a note field that a player can fill out when volunteering for a raid. So that the player could identify, for example, a late coming or early leaving. I will likely make it only visible to the raid admin and leaders. It should help them while deciding who to draft.

Firefox Strangeness

I got some known issues surrounding Firefox, post backs and redirects. I’m working to resolve these in a subsequent release. For now, use Internet Explorer, no matter how much it pains you to do so.

All WoW Servers Loaded

On the off chance that someone came across the tool and wanted to give it a try, I decided to go ahead and load all the servers. Now, anyone from any server can create a raid – but they do so at their own risk! (beta and all).

Raid Leader Option Complete

Raid-Leader-OptionI am done implementing the optional raid leader feature. As the owner and admin of a raid, you can mark which drafted players you would like to act as raid leaders. This will give them the ability to draft and dismiss volunteers, but not edit parameters such as the raid name, time or rules. This should help spread out some of the raid responsibilities.
