ReloadChat

Version: 0.0.3

by: Furyrage-Kargath [More]

ReloadChat does just what the name says. It reloads your chat log to what it showed before whenever you ReloadUI(), re-log, or log on to another character. The number of saved messages is based on the limit of your chat log (default 128).

Special thanks to all of the comments people left to make this version better, especially Vladinator for telling me that saved variables do get saved when reloading your user interface or being disconnected.

This version supports:

Say
Emote
Yell
Guild
Officer
Achievements
Whispers
Battle.net Whispers
Party
Raid
Battleground

What to expect in the future:

More efficient code (always expected)
Battle.net conversations
Options for which types of chat you wish to save
Support for all other chat mods (This may already be true, but I havn't tested it since I use the default Blizzard chat log)
Any other requests made in the comments tab

I encourage everybody to leave suggestions/errors in the comments tab.

0.0.3 Updated TOC
0.0.2 More efficient code. Possibly some bug fixes
0.0.1r2 This update has more efficient code and uses saved variables as opposed to CVars. This allows the chat to be saved not only when reloading the UI and when relogging, but also when disconnected by the server (not the WoW window crashing). There was limited testing before this release, but seeing that the code is simple, there shouldn't be any errors.
0.0.0r1 This was the first release displaying the basic concept behind saving the chat.

Petrah A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 2928 File comments: 332 Uploads: 10	Took me a bit to troubleshoot which of the addons I have installed is blocking yours..... your addon does not work if Stop The Spam is installed (an outdated addon, but it still works and not a single lua error!). Is there any way you could help me with this? I'm too attached to the other addon, and I don't wanna give up yours either lol. __________________ ♪～ (￣。￣ ) I ♥ My Sonos!

Hope you can make this more compatible with other mods.

I'm working on making it more compatible, but as for having errors when it was the only add-on loaded, I had an issue similar to yours when I was writing the add-on but I fixed it. I'm wondering if maybe I had two of the same file open and saved over the part I had fixed. I'll go ahead and post my newest version which I have had no errors with and you can see if that helps. Oh and make sure you delete the SVs for ReloadChat when you download the new version.

The latest version of Chatter seems to be broken giving errors even when no other add-ons are loaded but even with ReloadChat, Chatter, and BasicChatMods loaded I only got Chatter errors. Without Chatter I never got an error. Were you doing anything other than talking in guild or did you have any other add-ons loaded?

Yes, in Chatter v1.2.10 they unfortunately bugged out the options menu. The current v1.2.10-1-g2e0507e fixes the problem, though, and the earlier version I used with ReloadChat didn't have the options menu bugs either. Am using !BugGrabber/BugSack for error recording.

Using only the following modules out of Chatter:
AllResize.lua
AutoLogChat.lua
ChatScroll.lua
ChatTabs.lua
CopyChat.lua
EditBoxHistory.lua
Highlight.lua
Scrollback.lua
Telltarget.lua
Timestamps.lua
UrlCopy.lua.

From BasicChatMods, using just buttons.lua, dont_disable.lua (with none of the features commented out), scrolldown.lua & sticky.lua. Other less full-featured chat mods used:
CharacterMap
Chitchat
Hush
Identity
NeonChat
WhoWhisperedMe

Error at logon, which occurs on every character logged on with this (and the other mods) active:

Code:

["message"] = "ReloadChat-0.0.1 r2\\ReloadChat.lua:20: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)\nReloadChat-0.0.1 r2\\ReloadChat.lua:3: in function <Interface\\AddOns\\ReloadChat\\ReloadChat.lua:1>\n\nLocals:|r\nself = <unnamed> {\n 0 = <userdata>\n}\nevent = \"PLAYER_LOGIN\"\n\n  ---",
            ["type"] = "error",
            ["session"] = 443,
            ["counter"] = 1,
        }, -- [58]

Error when chatting in guild chat, which repeats on every single string you put into guild chat:

Code:

["message"] = "ReloadChat-0.0.1 r2\\ReloadChat.lua:41: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)\nReloadChat-0.0.1 r2\\ReloadChat.lua:5: in function <Interface\\AddOns\\ReloadChat\\ReloadChat.lua:1>\n\nLocals:|r\nself = <unnamed> {\n 0 = <userdata>\n}\nevent = \"CHAT_MSG_GUILD\"\n\n  ---",
            ["type"] = "error",
            ["session"] = 443,
            ["counter"] = 4,
        }, -- [59]

Furyrage-Kargath A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 21 Uploads: 7	I'll see if saved variables for it works, but the reason I used CVars was because I thought I remembered not having saved variables get saved when reloading the UI. I'll look into it. Edit: Okay I just tested saved variables on reloadUI and it worked so I'm going to use that. Thanks for the tip, I really thought I had tried that before in another addon.

Vlad A Molten Giant Forum posts: 691 File comments: 375 Uploads: 39	Great idea, though there are some improvements you could do for future releases (and training) 1. Storing the messages using CVar is a bit non-professional, I would recommend adding "## SavedVariables: ReloadChat" then using "ReloadChat" in your addon to store the messages (a table would do the trick). 2. When the client receives a message it calls the function "ChatFrame_MessageEventHandler" in "ChatFrame.lua" from the FrameXML (Blizzards code). What you could do here is simply hook that function and log the arguments in your table. When a new chat message is received you can using this log it into the array of "last received/sent messages". 3. Listen for "PLAYER_LOGIN" then show the stored messages (it's triggered when user reloads UI and logs in). It's a great idea, the addon does work but some things can be improved -hey even my suggestions are probably not the most ideal either, you can never stop improving an addon!

Dridzt A Molten Giant Forum posts: 997 File comments: 764 Uploads: 76	Just to say that not only is it not impossible to save variables when disconnected, it is actually the default. You cannot save variables when you experience a wow client crash (or a computer crash which amounts to the same as far as the game is concerned) but a disconnect does save variables and the addon should work in this case as is. Edit: Never mind, just saw that the addon doesn't use SavedVariables to store settings, it uses custom Console Variables. Last edited by Dridzt : 07-26-10 at 12:03 AM.

Furyrage-Kargath A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 21 Uploads: 7	Version 1.0.0 Okay I should have the real thing out tomorrow. This includes support for all guild, achievements, emotes, party, raid, bnet, whispers, and battleground messages. There are also preferences so that you can enable/disable different types of messages from being saved. The message limit has been increased to the limit of your chat frame (default 128 messages). Anyway, since it's not ready tonight I figured I would post about it. Edit: And there will be real pictures Last edited by Furyrage-Kargath : 07-25-10 at 09:56 PM.

Unfortunately no. It is impossible to save variables when you are disconnected.
