Cellular  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 10.0.001
by: totalpackage, drjebus, Sugarwing

Cellular is an instant messenger mod (for only whispers) based on the functionality of an old version of ForgottenChat.

YouTube Intro



Features:

  • Many appearance options
  • History log
  • A way to copy text
  • Reuse of the default chat editbox
  • Whispers shown in separate windows or a tab-based single window
  • Should work with most spam filter mods
  • ...and other basic IM features
  • !! New !! Language support for enUS / enGB and deDE


How to Use:
  • "/cellular", check Interface Options->AddOns, or right-click a window for options
  • Left-click a window to toggle the editbox
  • Left-click a tab to activate it
  • Shift-left-click and drag a window to move
  • Shift-left-click and drag bottom-right corner to resize
  • Right-click a tab for show/close/options dropdown
  • Middle-click a tab to close
  • Hold ctrl and close any window/tab to quick remove from history
  • Several convenient buttons (some require shift clicking for confirmation reasons)


Warnings:
  • If you have history enabled and notice that Cellular is using a lot of memory, you should cleanup your history entries using Cellular's history options.
  • If you're experiencing crashing due to memory errors, disable and clear your history.
  • If you cherish your history, you can back up the saved variables file and then delete it. You can view it in any text editor later. The location of the saved variables file is here:
    ...\WTF\Account\<Account Name>\<Server Name>\<Character Name>\SavedVariables\Cellular.lua

I do hope this add-on is going to be fixed for the current patch. I'm co-leader of a guild and get a zillion whispers each time I log on. It helps me keep all of those whispers between folks straight. I can't live without it!

Any news on if this addon is being fixed for MoP? It was way superior to WiM, in my opinion, and I would hate to lose it!

Will you update for 5.0?

When whispering the copy function for other people's texts does not work.

No longer works with 5.0.

The box and everything is there but hitting R to reply does not work.

Also clicking in the box that you have as your whisper, comes back with a this person does not exist.

Hope it will be fixed for mop

any plans on trying to fix this?

love the mod but it doesn't work properly anymore for me at all, not even with AmiYuy's "fixes".

Funny thing is, it worked flawlessly until I redid my UI last night and now it doesn't even work if I set my UI back to my old one either...

Edit: any way to just disable the edit box from appearing below the cellular window at all? like so it NEVER comes no matter what? through the lua code obviously

Edit2: removed
Code:
AttachEditBox(id)
at line 958 in core.lua and fixed my issue, never found of having the editbox on my cellular frame anyways. and I can spam press R and send tells all the time.

It works for me and so far I haven't been able to produce an error tho. Clicking the frame doesn't work still tho.

also suspended this line at 810 by using a double -- but you can also remove it, did this to prevent accidently clicking the frame while writing a message and loose what you've written.

Code:
ToggleEditBox(this.tab)

Re: Re: Re: editbox errors

This was the most frustrating experience I've ever had with an addon author basically telling us too bad for people using both and doing nothing about it.

There is a workaround, but you lose part of Prat's functionality to make it work and if you've moved your editbox, it'll be going back to the default location. Even if you're not using Prat you still can't use the "Disable Editbox Move" checkbox as once it's checked the trouble variable is created. If you go to the next page of comments and find the one made by me on 01-05-2011, 05:45 AM there's a full explanation, but here's the summary:

- "Disable EditBox Move" module of Cellular is breaking responding to tells.
- If the "noattach" variable is deleted from the Cellular.lua Saved Variables, it will work fine.
- Unless you have the "Editbox" module of Prat enabled as well, however the error seems to lie in Cellular.

To make it work without Prat:
1) Don't ever touch the "Disable EditBox Move" option
2) Delete the "noattach" variable from the Cellular.lua

So to make it work with Prat:
1) Disable "Disable EditBox Move" if it is enabled
2) Delete the "noattach" variable from the Cellular.lua
3) Disable the "Editbox" module from Prat.
Hey thanks a ton for your help, I adjusted my Ui a bit to incorporate the default editbox position and it seems to be working.
Too bad for the author's take on this, I love these addons. Once again thank you Amiyuy

Can't click on names to reply, R keybind seems to fail.
Any fix or workaround yet?

Thanks!

That's the way it is. If you want overlapping windows, enable tabs. Just drag them into position (make sure to hold shift while dragging).
