Addon to highlight WB leaders messages?

[Elesthor]

An Addon that highlights WB leader's messages and shows them in the middle of the screen as announcements would be very useful.

I've tried "Megaphone" but while it shows as enabled, it doesn't seem to work and /megaphone returns as an unknown command.

Any ideas?

This is an imposed limitation. Only specific approved addons will be able to use private channels. That's likely why Megaphone isn't working.

On live you were able to create as many private channels as you want, although some addons used them for less acceptable purposes.

Shouldn't be too hard to repreduce;
check who's Wb leader, listen to WB/party chat channel and if the chat sender is WB leader then output text string to Alert ticker

can be a bit annoying thou if the WB leader decides to rant and stuff with lengthy comments in WB chat

I finally resolved the issue with Megaphone.

Megaphone is trying to register a command with LibSlash but it didn't have LibSlash as a dependency.

To make it work I opened the "Megaphone.mod" file and entered <Dependency name="LibSlash"/> under Dependencies.
