  • About Diplomancer
  •  

Diplomancer is a simple addon that automatically watches the faction associated with your current location.

Some examples:

  • Hearth to Shattrath, and you'll watch The Sha'tar.
  • Fly up to the Scryer Rise, and you'll watch The Scryers.
  • Head over to Nagrand, and you'll watch The Mag'har if you're a member of the Horde, or the Kurenai if you're Alliance.
  • Teleport to the Black Temple, and you'll watch the Ashtongue Deathsworn.
  • Take a portal to Ogrimmar or Ironforge, and you'll watch the faction of the same name.

If you find yourself in a place without an associated faction, you'll watch your race's faction. For example, if you're a troll, and you head out on a weekend camping trip in the Redridge Mountains, you'll watch the Darkspear Trolls faction. This behavior can be overriden; see the list of commands below.

Data

Diplomancer is fully versed in the factions of classic WoW and the Burning Crusade, and includes some data for Wrath of the Lich King. Note that the Alliance data for all expansion levels is less detailed than the Horde data, as I don't have any Alliance characters.

If you encounter any areas that you think should be associated with a faction, but aren't, especially if you're Alliance, please post a bug report ticket.

Localization

Diplomancer currently only works in English clients. While it theoretically will use LibBabble-*-3.0 for faction, race, and zone names, there is no such library for translated subzone names, and I have opted to disable the addon completely for locales I don't have translations for rather than letting the addon run with significantly reduced fucntionality.

If you play in a non-English locale and are willing to assist with translations for around 90 subzone names, please send me a PM!

Usage

While Diplomancer generally "just works", it does have a few options. Type /diplomancer or /dm for a list of commands, or refer to this list:

/dm default <faction>

Set a faction to watch instead of your race's faction when your current zone doesn't have an associated faction. Use none or reset to reset to your race's faction. Note this is not case-sensitive, and will attempt to match partial names, so typing scry will match to The Scryers, etc.

/dm exalted

Choose whether to watch factions you're already Exalted with. Default: enabled.

/dm verbose

Choose whether you want to see a message in your chat frame when watching a new faction. Note this can be somewhat spammy in places with many small subzones, like Shattrath City. Default: disabled.

Et Cetera

Diplomancer is loosely based on an old addon called SmartFactionWatch, by Charnow. I liked the idea, but not the implementation, and wrote my own addon to do the same thing. I've been using it privately for about two years now, and shared it with a few friends, and recently decided to release it to the public.
