BasicChatMods

Version: r487

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".

Firstly, update to the latest version.

Yes, Blizzard made most things sticky by default now, which is why the latest BCM only stickies the things Blizz missed. But these were always stickied by BCM before Blizzard stickied them by default.

Using ChatTypeInfo.WHISPER.sticky = 0 WILL work.

Changing mode from IM to classic in the interface options will stop the edit box from showing permanently, yup, and looks better. But it has nothing to do with sticky chat.

Most of them were changed to be sticky by default by Blizz, hence they were removed. But it should still be apparent what to do to turn Blizz stickies off... enter the same with the channel name = 0.

Eh, are you using the latest version..? It has documentation of what does what in it. Very obvious. As demonstrated below

Code:

--Hide the "Friends Online" count button
--Hide the chat shortcut button for emotes/languages/etc

Please don't tell me that's not obvious

That's Blizzard functionality. Interface>Social and change it from IM mode to Classic mode.

Like I've stated, you need to select the Blizzard time stamp, even if you already did. It will not take effect unless you re-select the timestamp from the config after *EVERY* time you modify it.

No matter what I try, I always come back on BCM And I tried to configure yesterday night and couldn't sort anything out (guess I was too sleepy?), tried again this afternoon after posting and fixed everything the way I like it in like... 10 minutes? Sorry again for my stupid post, dunno why I felt so lost yesterday night...

Color me stupid, i don't get it :/
Honest, i want to show the arrows but don't know how.

I don't know if you're asking me to add '--' before some line or change f.Hide to f.Show or something.

So, at least to me, it's not very clear if you don't have any lua-knowledge.

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.

Not sure what you mean, all buttons for every window should already be hidden. Are you sure you're using the latest BCM? Got a screenshot?
