FriendList creates a new StormFront window which then displays the names of your online friends.

7991

After downloading and starting, you may need to enable the list from the "Windows" dialog.

7992

Populate the list manually via:
friend add {name}

Or import from your Befriend list via:
friend import

To view additional commands use:
friend help

There are a few user options you can set. View them with:
friend set show

By default FriendList will show the death announcements of only your friends. For those who prefer to see all player death announcements, run this command:
friend set death all true

There are a few known issues you should be aware of:
FriendList will prevent you from logging off due to inactivity. Disable the list if you wish to time out.
Players who have SilentLogon enabled will not have their status changed until the next synch cycle. Nothing I can do about this, it's called Silent for a reason.
Sometimes during moments of heavy screen activity the 'Find' output will be displayed on screen.
Using this in Wizard will spam an error (since it's trying to generate a SF window).

By default the list resynchs itself every 10 minutes to ensure accuracy. This timing can be changed from 1 - 60 minutes. I spent a few hours playing with it at 1 minute (with a 13 person list) and noticed no performance impact.


I've had about a half dozen people testing this over the past few weeks, but I'm sure there are still some small issues that need to be worked out. Let me know how this script performs for you.

Thanks Dreaven. I just remembered that Wizard users get spammed with a window error. I'll take a look at suppressing that for you. You wont be able to see the window, but "friend online" will print the list to your screen on demand.
