RandomGreeting

Tired of always typing the same "hi" or "bye" when you join or leave a group? RandomGreeting spices up your chat with a random, funny message — automatically posted to the right channel, every time.

🌟 Key Features

Smart No-Repeat Rotation

The addon cycles through your entire list before repeating any message. No more accidental spamming of the same joke!

Context-Aware Channel Detection

Just type /rhi or /rbye and the addon automatically detects whether you're in a Raid, Party, or alone and posts to the correct channel.

Four Independent Lists

Manage hi, bye, and two fully custom lists (/rcustom1, /rcustom2) — each with its own rotation, commands, and optional custom label.

Import / Export

Share your message lists with friends via a compact import string (RG2:LIST:msg1;;msg2;;...). A built-in copy/paste dialog makes it painless. Use the Import Generator to create and edit your import strings directly in the browser.

Fully Customizable — In-Game

Add, remove, or reset messages at any time without leaving the game. Restore the built-in defaults for /rhi and /rbye with a single command.

Minimap Button

A small icon on the minimap gives you quick access to everything:

• Left-click — toggle the Action Window open/closed
• Right-click — open the Options panel
• Drag — reposition the button around the minimap
• Can be hidden via the Options panel if you prefer a cleaner minimap

Action Window

A compact floating window right in your game UI. Click a button to instantly post a random message from the corresponding list — no commands needed. The window is freely draggable and remembers its position per character.

• Toggle individual list buttons (Hi, Bye, Custom 1, Custom 2) on or off in the Options panel
• Cycle through channels (Say / Guild / Party / Raid) directly in the window
• Compact mode — halves the window width and uses short labels (Hi / Bye / C1 / C2) and single-letter channel codes (S / G / P / R) for a minimal footprint
• Lock position — prevent accidental dragging
• Hide close button — keep the window clean and dismissible only via the minimap button

Two Themes

Choose the look that fits your UI — switchable per character in the Options panel:

• WoW (Classic) — the familiar Blizzard dialog style
• Modern (dark) — a sleek dark background with a thin border

Huge Starter Pack

Ships with 50+ hilarious German and English greetings and farewells. A few examples:

🇩🇪 Tschüsseldorf · Ciao Kakao · Bis Spätersilie · Sayonara Carbonara · Adieu Mathieu · Goodbayern · Huhu! · Hallöchen Popöchen! · Moinsen!

🇬🇧 Don't let the murlocs bite! · Safe travels! · For the Horde! · Well met! · Greetings! · Until next time! · Howdy, partner!

🚀 Commands

All four lists share the same sub-commands. Replace /rhi with /rbye, /rcustom1, or /rcustom2 as needed.

/rcustom1 label [name] and /rcustom2 label [name] let you rename the custom lists to anything you like (e.g. "Warlock Portal Quips").

Global import shortcut: /rg import [string] — auto-detects the target list and imports into the correct slot.

Options panel: /rg options — opens the Options panel (or right-click the minimap button).
