🏡 DoorStep v4.0

The Ultimate Player Housing Tour Manager

Turn chaotic housing tours into smooth, organized community events. DoorStep is built from the ground up for Party and Raid home tours in WoW's player housing system — whether you are hosting a casual neighborhood crawl or a massive community showcase with 40 homes.

━━━━━━━ 🌟 WHAT DOES DOORSTEP DO? ━━━━━━━━━

DoorStep maintains a fully synchronized live tour queue for your group and gives Tour Leaders complete control over the tour flow — with powerful automatic house data capture, endeavor tracking, and a real-time queue everyone can see.

━━━━━━━━ 🏠 AUTOMATIC HOUSE CAPTURE ━━━━━━━━

No manual entry. DoorStep automatically fetches each player's neighborhood name and plot number directly from the WoW housing API the moment they join the group.

✅ Press @Visit Alliance or @Visit Horde in the DoorStep window

✅ Or type @Visit A / @Visit H in group chat — even without the addon

✅ DoorStep captures neighborhood and plot number automatically

✅ Both Alliance and Horde homes supported per player — each gets its own queue entry listed as a sub-row under the player

✅ Add an optional note before pressing @Visit for extra house info

✅ Re-use @Visit anytime to update your info — whispers you a confirmation

━━━━━━━━ 📊 NEIGHBORHOOD ENDEAVOR TRACKING ━━━━━━━━

Type @Vendor in group chat to share your active Neighborhood Endeavor and progress with the tour group. DoorStep displays this in the Notes column for every queued player.

✅ Supports all 6 current WoW Midnight endeavors

✅ Progress shown as x/4 milestones in the queue list

✅ Type #V in group chat to get a whisper summary of all shared endeavor info

✅ Works for both addon and non-addon users

━━━━━━━━ 💬 CHAT COMMANDS — NO ADDON REQUIRED ━━━━━━━━━

Non-addon players can fully participate using group chat commands:

DoorStep also accepts common @Visit typos (@vist, @vsit, @viist, etc.) and will whisper you to ask Alliance or Horde if you forget to specify.

━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎤 LEADER CONTROLS ━━━━━━━━━━━

Tour Leaders get a full management panel:

⭐ Start Tour / Next Stop — announces the current house to the group

⏱️ Start Timer — synchronized countdown per house (configurable duration)

⏹️ Stop Timer (Optional) — stop early if needed; timer also auto-expires

📢 Announce Current — re-announces the active house at any time

📋 Say Instructions — posts join instructions to group chat

💬 Chat Commands — posts #C/#Q/#T/#V info to group chat

🔒 Lock Queue — prevents new entries (broadcasts to group)

👥 FFA Mode — open visits with no managed tour order

📩 Whisper New Members — auto-whispers join instructions to new joiners

➕ Manually Add Player — add absent or external players with known house info

🔁 Reset Tour — clears queue, resets all checkboxes, auto-fires if you leave the group

🛑 End Tour — sends raid warning thanking the group

Numbered action buttons (1. Start Tour / Next Stop, 2. Start Timer, 3. Stop Timer) include a green glow border showing which button to press next — the glow advances automatically through each step.
