BasicChatMods Updated Today!

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.

-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)

Various tweaks around most modules

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 copychat icon now only shows on-demand again, generally improved the module.

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...

kellewic A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 128 Uploads: 3	GatherSage2 conflict with BCM This was just reported to me so I tracked it down and comes about because I have a reference to _G.DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME in my Logger prototype. When a new Logger is created, a deep copy is made and so my chat frame reference gets a whole new memory location. It's still the same object that BCM hooks, but since BCM uses the memory location as table keys, so when it does: Code: hooks[frame](frame, text, ...) it ends up equating to: Code: nil(frame, text, ...) since BCM doesn't have the new memory location in the hooks table. I fixed it on my side since I shouldn't have been doing a deep copy of _G.DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME. I can't guarantee other mods won't do it so I might suggest a fallback be added to BCM; something like: Code: -- From timestamps.lua -- local function AddMessage(frame, text, ...) text = start..COLOR..lbrack..date(tformat)..rbrack..text -- Can't find memory key, fallback to frame name if not hooks[frame] and frame.GetName then return hooks[frame:GetName()](frame, text, ...) end return hooks[frame](frame, text, ...) end --[[ Stamp CF 1 to 7, skip 2 ]]-- for i = 1, NUM_CHAT_WINDOWS do if i ~= 2 then -- skip combatlog h = _G[format("%s%d", "ChatFrame", i)] hooks[h] = h.AddMessage -- Fallback to frame name hooks[h:GetName()] = h.AddMessage h.AddMessage = AddMessage end end This would have a negligible affect on speed/memory, but provide a fallback in case other mods mess with what you think you have hooked. The change would also have to be made to channelnames.lua should you decide to do it. __________________ Kellewic - 80 Warlock - Ghostlands

Drifter A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 20 Uploads: 0	Awesome add on! Once I with my very miner skills figured out how to edit out the parts of your addon I didn't need I've used nothing else for chat. Thank you for a great chat add on surprisingly easy to prune for us with no coding skills and with low system usage.

You need used UTF-8 encoding for nonEU languages.
For example, I'm using programms SciTE.
Open in SciTE file channelnames.lua, then File-Encoding-UTF-8 (если с русским интерфейсом, то Файл-Кодировка-UTF-8),and change Guild to Гильдия, Party - Группа, Trade - Торговля: Город (именно так, из-за другого названия канал, а не просто Торговля, соблюдая пробелы) and other.
But in this case, I don't change name of channels General, WorldDefense, LocalDefense. Because now name of channels "General: name of town".
Anybody knows how to change this channelnames?
