BasicChatMods  Updated less than 3 days ago!  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: v7.22
by: funkydude [More]
Type /bcm to configure BasicChatMods, a basic and modular approach to chat customization.

By default BCM will allow you to drag your chat frames to the very edge of the screen, the remaining customization is done in BCM's modules which can be enabled or disabled at will.

A few of the current modules include:
  • Button Hiding
  • Channel Name Customization
  • Chat Copy
  • Font Customization
  • Chat Frame Justification
  • Player Name Customization
  • Real Id Class Coloring
  • Sticky Customization
  • Tell Target
  • Timestamp Customization
  • URL Copy

Class Colors: Are already provided by Blizzard, right-click chat frame tab > Settings > Tick Boxes
Combat Log Timestamps: Are already provided by Blizzard, right-click combat log tab > Settings > Formatting > Show Timestamp. Repeat this for every combat log, e.g. "Self", "Everything", "What happened to me?", "Kills".
v7.22: toc bump

v7.21: toc bump

v7.2:
-BCM now includes the LibChatAnims library to prevent BCM blocking talent changes for some users.

-AltInvite: fix inviting people that log on.
-BNet: Add option to remove the "person" icon from chat.
-ChatCopy: Lots of code cleanup, remove icons from text to prevent copying issues, fix GUI description.
-Highlight: Scan instance chat for highlights, don't highlight your own chat.
-Timestamp: Clicking the timestamp for single-line copy now also includes the timestamp.
-URLCopy: Complete re-write for simplification and future proofing. (new TLD non-English languages and virtually any words like .book will be legitimate sites)

v7.1:
-AltInvite: New module, alt-click names in chat to invite them to group.
-ChannelNames: BATTLEGROUND >> INSTANCE_CHAT

v7.01: bnet bugfix

v7:
-Now supports on-demand chats frames (pet battle log, bnet popup whispers, etc)
-Chatcopy functionality now coverts raid icons into {rt} symbols for easy copying
-Timestamps are now clickable, clicking a timestamps shows a popup allowing you to copy a specific line of chat. Makes it easier to copy specific lines of chat than using the standard chatcopy functionality.

GMOTD: Delay printing the gmotd even longer if it's not available due to lag.

v6.41: fix a bug introduced in v6.40 that removed the player name in the highlight module
v6.40: 1 new module: History, grants the ability to change how many lines of chat history your chat frames remember
Re-GMOTD & ChatFrame Resize: these features were previously in the Core and have been moved into their own modules
WoWAce localization system is up and some translations have been implemented
BattleNet: Added ability to customize/remove player brackets, fix coloring chat links instead of names
ChannelNames: You can now customize custom channels that you've joined, add support for French and traditional Chinese
ChatCopy: You can now turn off the tooltip hint, increased copy box size

v6.00: Now customizable via an in-game configuration screen

v5.00: re-designed every module, added new font outline module that's disabled by default, hopefully fixed the random issue of the scrolldown button disappearing.

v4.10: Delay the loading of custom timestamps to prevent a taint resulting in WoW asking you to disable BCM. Tweaks to URLCopy and ChannelName modules.

v4.05: toc update, fix a minor error from the urlcopy popup

v4.04: Prevent the scrolldown module from loading if the button hide module is disabled.
-Russian Locale & misc bugfixes

v4.02: Fix some bugs with the scrolldown button showing/hiding.
Clamp the BNToastFrame so it doesn't cut out the screen when moving the chat frame.

v4.00: If you're using Blizz timestamps, re-select it from Interface>Social to avoid double-stamping/no-stamping
NEW: Scrolldown module, Moves the "scroll down" Blizzard button to the top-right side of the chat frame and shows if you're not at the very bottom
CHANGED: Re-wrote CopyChat, now requires you to double-click the chat tab, no longer uses an extra button
CHANGED: Re-wrote URLCopy, should work like before, just simplified
UPDATED: Tweaked most modules code & documentation
NEW: German localization for channelnames module
UPDATED: Russian localization
CHANGED: Renamed resize_chatframe module to dont_disable, as it contains misc functions that should not be disabled

Re-wrote most of the explanations in the modules
Really fix timestamping lines that Blizzard misses, like loot, etc
Check BNet whispers/conversations for URL's
Various tweaks around most modules

v3.70: NEW resize chatframe module. Allows you to resize chatframes to any Height/Width you like instead of those restricted by Blizz.
NEW now uses the Blizzard timestamp to also stamp any chat messages that Blizz misses, assuming you have it enabled.
ADDED some extra documentation to the buttons module explaining how to show certain buttons.

v3.65: NEW fade module, it changes the default Blizzard fade values so that your chat frames fade out COMPLETELY like pre-3.3.5 chat frames did. As always you can disable it by reading the disable modules.txt file.

v3.60: NEW Timestamps Customize module, customize the Blizzard timestamps, default is to return the style to the old BCM style, but you need to turn them on in Blizz config.
FIXED edit box is back at the top.
FIXED chat frame can be placed at the edge of the screen again.
FIXED copychat icon now only shows on-demand again, generally improved the module.
REMOVED Scroll module, 3.3.3 compatibility.

v3.59: Chat Scroll & Timestamps disabled in 3.3.5, implemented into the game. All modules now have 3.3.5 forward compatibility. Few TLD additions to URLCopy. Fix PARTY_GUIDE. Chat Copy icon moved for 3.3.5, also only shows when mousing over the chat tab (buggy) on 3.3.5, for now. EditBox no longer moved in 3.3.5 due to permanent tabs, might change this by hiding tabs manually. Next update after EU gets the patch...

v3.51 - Fix Party Leader chat not registering URL's

v3.5 - merged timestamps module into channelnames module, removed font module, various modules cleanups, shrink Party Leader to PL.

v3.32 - toc update

v3.3 - wow 3.1 fixes to prevent chat breakage

v3.1 - Release

Lost my minimap button

After updating several mods I can no longer find my minimap button for this mod.

Is there anything I can type in the command line to get the options window to open?

Is there any way I can remove brackets from player names? Looked around but couldn't find and I'm very good at destroying things if I take a chance :<

No idea sorry, no one else has reported this issue. It's more likely a different addon conflicting with BCM. I bet if you load only BCM it will work fine.

UPDATE okay, I found out why i uncommented the lua parts for usind BCM on all of my chat windows, but forgot to comment the lines below. so I guess it turned out to a loop or something. everything's working fine now

I have 2 mods for my chat installed, NeonChat and this one.

I'm getting an error in my Combat Log about in regard to my text or font, can't remember off the top of my head. It happens every time I log in, but doesn't really do anything.

Anyone have a similar issue, or is it just me?

You can change chat window font by right clicking the chat tab.

I would prefer to be able to get all sizes to be like the one in the first picture.

Some features requests:


- Filter messages out:
* Repeated AFK/DND responses from the same player. Only the first AFK/DND message will be displayed, unless it changes in-between, or 5 minutes have elapsed.
* Achievement announcements from players you are ignoring.
* "Drunk" announcements from other players.


- Fading of Chat

I love the combo of this and Neon Chat -- one feature I'd really like is to turn off chat text fading.

Would that be horribly difficult to add?

Hmmz any chance Neon chat to become part of Basic chat mods ? Combined both are giving me exactly what I need from the chat frame Also I know it takes time, but if you make a GUI for this mod it will become really popular.

Bump to my question further down regarding the adjustment of font size. Any option to reduce the size below the Blizzard settings' range which goes down to 12?

I did not find a solution in the .lua-file.

Thanks
