LFG Monitor

About

 

LFG Monitor (lfgmon) watches the group finder for rare role shortages and extra rewards (Satchel of Cooperation, aka blue bag). When it finds a shortage, it will display a helpful notification icon, and optionally can send you a chat & sound notification.

 

The addon tries to be non-intrusive with its default settings, and integrates well with the vanilla WoW UI.

 

 

How does it work?

 

• Install and enable the addon.
• The tool will run in the background, and silently monitor eligible LFG dungeons and raids.

 

When extra rewards are found:

• a notification icon is displayed (see screenshots)
• the icon will appear in the middle of your screen at first, but you can move the icon anywhere on the screen, it will remember the position
• hover over the icon to see a list of dungeons and raids giving extra rewards
• if notifications are enabled, you will also get a message and a sound notification for any new role shortages (see screenshots)

 

Settings

 

You can open the settings window from the in-game Options menu, from the Addons tab by locating the "lfgmon" section (see screenshot).

You can also open the settings window using the "/lfgmon config" slash command.

 

You can enable/disable the following options:

 

• Monitor Dungeons: when enabled, the tool will monitor the LFG - Random Dungeons. (default: enabled)
• Monitor Raids: when enabled, the tool will monitor the LFR - Raid Finder. (default: enabled)
• Consider Lockout: when enabled, you will not get notified about raid wings you have already killed all bosses in. (default: enabled)
• Play Alert: to get chat/sound notifications, you will need to enable this option. (default: disabled)
• Ignore [Tank|Healer|Damage] Role: you can choose to ignore shortage for certain roles you can perform (useful if you don't want to play that role)

 

 

Commands

 

The following chat commands are available:

 

• /lfgmon config: open the settings window
• /lfgmon reset: reset all options, and the icon position to their default values. This can be useful if you accidentally moved the icon outside of the visible screen.
