Is it possible to make CallToArms monitor World chat?

Hi,
So I recently discovered the CallToArms addon, and its really amazing but I noticed its not monitoring World chat, is there any way to make it monitor world aswell?

For people who dont know the addon and might be interested, heres what it does:

CallToArms (CTA) monitors the LookingForGroup and other chat channels and shows a list of all players who are looking for a group. This is a global list that shows players and groups from all over Azeroth.


There are also some group management features that are left over from the days before the Blizzard LFG tool:

- Flag yourself as LFG - Using this feature, the player enters a short description of the desired quest/instance etc. that s/he would like to do. This information is placed on the same list that is viewable by all other users globally.

- Find more players for your group - CTA lets group leaders create a profile of their group. This profile includes a short description, the maximum size of the group and the level range of the group members. Group leaders can even set the class distribution of the group members. This information is posted on the global list so that other users can view it.

CTA also has a blacklist feature which is a list of players that are not allowed to join your group. The blacklist also acts as an extended ignore list.

Making it monitor World is easy. Making it monitor both LFG and world is not as easy

Thanks for the link! :)


This is what you have to do to make it work:
1. OPEN ( open with... notepad ) " CTALocalization.lua "
2. FIND (CTRL+F) " CTA_MONITOR_CHANNEL_NAME = "LookingForGroup"; " < Just replace LookingForGroup with world
3. REPLACE STRING (LINE) WITH " CTA_MONITOR_CHANNEL_NAME = "world"; " < SAVE IT!
4. SAVE (ctrl+s)


Edit: The "mute LFG channel" option will also work for world chat after this change... so... fking... sweet <3
