    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
    -EditBox: New TOP/BOTTOM selection.
    -InviteLinks: Completely removed. Replaced by AltInvite.

    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

    PlayerNames: minor tweak

    v6.10: New basic modules: TellTarget, InviteLinks.
    URLCopy: Improved popup style.
    Timestamps: Re-wrote, no longer depends on Blizz timestamps or channelnames module, allows more customization.

    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

    v3.75: Added Russian support for channel replacements
    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

    v3.31 - remove wow 3.0 compat, toc update

    v3.3 - wow 3.1 fixes to prevent chat breakage

    v3.2 - Major bugfix with blizz timestamps enabled in blizz combat log (the combat log would break)

    v3.1 - Release

    So I have an issue. After latest update it seems I cannot see any real ID whispers. I can see regular whispers just fine but any realID conversations just do not appear in my window.

    Hmm didn't test the RealID stuff on PTR, try v6.62 and let me know if that fixes the error/missing chat.

    Real-ID whispers, incoming or outgoing, do not show up anymore even with the current version.

    This isn't something I encountered on the PTR and will have to wait until EU deployment for me to test.

    The posterior creation explains it. Thank you for enlightening me

    Let me begin by thanking you for this mod. I was wondering if there was anyway to remove the edit box textures completely, so I can attach a KGPanel that is more in theme with my UI?

    If Blizz doesn't let you do it then no. I will not be adding a separate option for that.
