Addon needed for WoW Read on ..
2 months, 1 week ago
This can't be done in LUA under WoW. WoW restricts addons from talking to the network, writing to files, or doing pretty much anything else that could be used to create a virus.
Wowhead and thottbot addons don't send data over the net from within the game -- they either have a local copy of the database (like Lightheaded), or have an external program that you have to run to take data that they've saved and upload it. The only way an addon can save data, however, is by asking WoW to do it for it -- and WoW only does that when you logout.

Dreampowerif anyone is really skilled on LUA code or something, it would be awesome with an addon that posted the GuildChat to the IRC channel, and then posted replies from the IRC channel back to the GChat by doing spaces so it appears on a new row, : Message - etc, would rock, it should be possible, since Wowhead / Thottbot addons make it possible to send data over the internet's it should be possible to send it over internets to irc etc,
I would guess you can send from Gchat to IRC, but i doubt you'll be able to do the reverse. I believe the addon "Quest Helper" gets some comments from WoWhead with a rating over a special number, I'm not sure how it works but i know it contains it, so sending to the game should be possible, at the very least it should be possible to send to you and make a popup asking "Send to guildchat?" etc, however Blizzard could possibly see it as a 3rd Party Program or something I guess :| But as long as you can code it in LUA and make it an addon
