Settings

Everything lives in Options > AddOns > GabbaRP. There's no custom window, so it looks and behaves like any other Blizzard settings panel. The category has two parts: the main GabbaRP panel (general settings, shared across all classes), and two sub-entries under it, <YourClass> Skills (EN) and <YourClass> Skills (LOCAL), listing every skill your class can react to.

Main panel

General

  • On/Off: the master switch. /gabbarp on|off does the same thing.
  • Mode: Self / Public / Both: Self prints lines only to your own chat window. Public actually sends them (Say/Yell/Emote/Guild/Party/Raid, depending on the skill). Both does both.
  • Character animations: plays a matching emote animation alongside the line for skills that have one (a Warrior's Charge plays a charging animation, Fear-type spells play a menacing gesture, and so on). Always fires together with the line, on the same cooldown, never separately.
  • Use local language: off by default, see Local Language for the full mechanism.
  • Solo language: which language you speak when not in a group (English or Local), only relevant once "Use local language" is on.

Say/Yell Delivery

Blizzard requires a real click or keypress before an addon can send a Say/Yell message. Two options:

  • Safe (default): queues the message and sends it on your next real action (a skill or item use). Never eats a click, just possibly a beat slower.
  • Instant: captures your very next click or keypress anywhere to send immediately. Near-zero delay, but that click's own action doesn't happen (see Troubleshooting).

Group Greetings

A line when you join a group ("Join"), and a personal welcome line for whoever joins after you ("Welcome"), both split by time of day (morning/midday/evening/night). Each has its own Edit button, same editor as skills (see below), plus a Language tab if you use Local Language.

Food & Drink

Three rows: Food, Drink, and Food and Drink (the combined one fires instead of the individual two when both buffs are up at once). Each has its own checkbox and Edit button.

Death Reactions

Three rows: Death: Group, Death: Raid (someone in your own party/raid dies, straight from the combat log), and Death: Guild (any guildmate dies, via the optional DeathNotificationLib addon, whether you're grouped with them or not). Each editable the same way as a skill.

Spam Protection

Three sliders, checked in order:

  1. Per-skill cooldown: the same skill won't comment again until this many seconds have passed. Skills cast very rapidly (Life Tap, Heroic Strike, Shadow Bolt, etc.) instead use a built-in "only every Nth cast" rule and ignore this slider.
  2. Global cooldown: a floor on how close together any two lines can land, regardless of which skill.
  3. Trigger chance: a percent chance a line actually fires once eligible.

Every individual skill's editor also has its own Reaction frequency override ("Always react", skipping all three of the above, or "React every N casts"), independent of these global sliders.

Skills panels

<YourClass> Skills (EN) lists every skill your class can react to, each with a checkbox (enable/disable) and an Edit button opening the line editor: the current lines (one per row, click to edit, add new ones, delete, or reset the whole skill to default), a Send as selector (Emote, Say, Yell, Guild, Group Start, or Group Success, see the tooltip on each for exactly what it does), and the Reaction frequency override mentioned above.

<YourClass> Skills (LOCAL) is the exact same list, but editing the Local Language version of each line, only relevant if you've turned on "Use local language". See Local Language.

At the bottom of either skills panel: Export / Import Lines..., covered in Editing Lines, Export & Import.
