Shortens chat channel names
Shortens cross-realm character names and Real ID player names
Replaces Real ID player names and BattleTags with WoW character names
Enables arrow keys without the Alt key (*)
Enables resizing chat frames by their edges
Makes all channels sticky (**)
Makes URLs clickable for easy copying
Moves the input box above the chat frame
Sets the delay time for chat text fading
Stops docked chat tabs from being dragged
Hides the scroll, menu, and social buttons
Hides extra textures on chat frames
Hides the flashing effect on chat tabs
Hides channel notification messages
Hides repeated messages in public channels
Enables class colored names in all channels with a single click

(*) As of Patch 5.4 using Up/Down to access previously entered chat lines without the Alt key is limited to non-secure commands only. If you need to access previously entered secure commands (like /cast or /use) you will still need to hold the Alt key.

(**) If a channel is sticky, then after talking in that channel, the chat input box will open to the same chat type again, rather than making you type “/g” or “/ra” again.

Options & Commands

Type “/pchat” for options, or find them in the Interface Options.
Type “/pchat clear” to clear all chat windows.
Type “/tt" or “/wt” to send a whisper to your current target.

Some additional options, such as customizing which channels are made sticky and what abbreviations are used for channel names, are available by editing the Core.lua file in a plain-text editor such as Notepad. If you break something, download a fresh copy and try again.

Version 3.3.5.94

Upgraded beta series to release status; see the beta series changelogs below for details on what was changed since the previous release version.
You should delete your previously installed version of PhanxChat before installing this version. Otherwise, you’ll end up with unused files laying around on your hard drive.
Your old settings will not be converted. You may want to delete your old saved variables file before installing this version. Otherwise, you’ll end up with unused data in your saved variables.

Version 3.3.5.93-beta

Fixed custom abbreviations for numbered channel names
Added filtering of "changed channel" messages

Version 3.3.5.91-beta

Fixed the Fade Time option

Version 3.3.5.90-beta

Fixed non-numbered channel links (eg. Guild, Party) ... again

Version 3.3.5.89-beta

Significantly improved performance when using the Shorten Channel Names option
Fixed "Dungeon Guide" not being abbreviated
Added advanced configuration support for specifying abbreviations for custom channels

Version 3.3.5.86-beta

Fixed non-numbered channel links (eg. Guild, Party)

Version 3.3.5.85-beta

Due to file changes, you should completely uninstall your existing copy of the addon before installing this version. Removing your old saved variables is recommended, but not required.
This is a full rewrite of PhanxChat. It is now semi-modular, so it should be much easier for me to maintain. The old single-file organization was becoming quite unwieldy.
Added a Shorten Player Names feature, which shortens player names by removing realm names from cross-realm players and last names from Real ID players.
Removed the Auto Start Chat Log feature, because I never used it.
Removed the Color Player Names feature, because it was just too much code and performance overhead to color the very few types of messages that the default UI doesn’t already color, and also confused all the <insert adjective here> people who never read patch notes or change logs.
Advanced Configuration has been revamped. Options relevant to individual modules are in the appropriate module file, not in the Core file.
All existing translations for the configuration UI have been discarded, since none of them had been updated since the transition from slash commands to a GUI over a year ago. If you can provide translations for any locale, please send me a PM.
Additionally, several chat channels are currently only shortened in English locales, because nobody has provided translations for them. If you see a channel name that isn’t shortened, please report: your locale (eg. "deDE"), the English name of the channel (eg. "General"), the localized name of the channel (eg. "Allgemein"), and an appropriate short form for your locale (eg. "A").

Version 3.3.5.80

Added message processing for Real ID whispers
Fixed tell-target functionality to work for cross-realm players
Fixed repeat-message filtering to actually respect the line threshold
Fixed visual handling of temporary frames
Fixed several typo-related errors
Updated configuration

Version 3.3.5.73

Fixed a bug preveing the new Battle.net "toast" window from being shown
Fixed a bug relating to sticky channel selection

Version 3.3.5.72

Updated for patch 3.3.5. Not backwards compatible!
Added an “Enable resize edges” option to add resize controls along all edges of chat frames, and remove the bottom-left-corner resize arrow. This basically just restores pre-3.3.5 chat frame resizing functionality.
Added a “Hide extra textures” option to hide the extra textures on chat tabs and chat edit boxes added in patch 3.3.5.
Removed the “Enable mousewheel scrolling” option, since this functionality is now provided by the default UI.
Modified the default UI’s mousewheel scrolling to scroll more lines at a time, page up/down on ctrl, and top/bottom on shift.
Fixed a bug preventing custom short channel name formats from using the channel name in addition to the channel number.
Translations are needed for the new options in all locales. Also, major revisions are needed for several locales. If you can assist with translations for any locale, please send me a PM.

Version 3.3.3.68

Fixed an bug that caused the player’s own repeated messages to be hidden

Version 3.3.3.67-beta

Fixed an error that caused tab flashing to not always be disabled

Version 3.3.3.66-beta

Fixed an error caused by a misnamed variable
Added missing config library

Version 3.3.3.64-beta

The "Dungeon Guide" title is now abbreviated
Repeat-message suppression is now case-insensitive and ignores spaces
The configuration panel has been rearranged, and the wording of several options improved
Translations for all locales need to be reviewed

Version 3.3.0.60

Repeat message suppression now looks at the last 15 lines (up from 10)
Fixed repeat message suppression option

Version 3.3.0.57

Update for WoW 3.3

Version 3.2.0.53

Added checks to prevent errors caused by other addons that haven’t been updated for 3.2, because I’m tired of hearing about them
Fixed suppression options again
Changed from hardcoded class name translations to new FillLocalizedClassList API

Version 3.2.0.51

Updated class coloring for WoW 3.2
PhanxChat’s class color option now only colors player names in message types that are not colored by the default UI. To enable class coloring in other message types, use the default UI’s chat options window and enable the option for every message type you want class coloring for.
If your locale has not yet patched to 3.2, do not update yet!

See the "Think You Found A Bug?" section of the addon description for instructions on how to properly report issues so I can identify and resolve them. Thanks!

erica647 A Cobalt Mageweaver Forum posts: 209 File comments: 213 Uploads: 4	I'd like to recommend that you add Fane to your recommended add-ons companions list for Phanx Chat. I've been using it with Phanx Beta and it works great! It's a very simple mod to color the chat tabs and remove those ugly borders (imo anyway... I know some may like them). http://www.wowinterface.com/download...7984-Fane.html Edit:Sorry for any confusion... I meant to post this with the new beta mod.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 3971 File comments: 1913 Uploads: 38	Re: Auto-Reply PhanxChat does not have a feature that does what you describe. The only feature that has anything to do with chat types is "sticky channels", which remembers the last chat type you send a message in. If the last thing you typed was a whisper to Randomguy, pressing enter will open whisper chat to Randomguy again. If the last thing you typed was a message to guild chat, pressing enter will open guild chat. It does not automatically switch to whisper chat in the middle of typing, or up on recieving a whisper message. If you want to disable sticky channels the setting is clearly labeled in the options.

ThugNMeThePally A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 17 Uploads: 0	Auto-Reply PLESE tell me how to turn this feture off!!! when someone whispers me I like to hit the "R" key to reply, instead the "Enter" key will reply, if im in the middle of guild chatting and someone whispers me from trade channel, when i hit my "Enter" key to continue talking to my guild i respond the the whisper. I cant deal with this feature so please let me know how to disable it. Thank you awesome mod other then that little annoyance.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 3971 File comments: 1913 Uploads: 38	There's a reason I haven't marked PhanxChat as "working in 2.4"; I haven't touched it in several months, and have no plans to update the current version. The new version I am working on (linked to in the description) will work in 2.4 and will be ready for a formal release shortly.

Silent54 A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 0 File comments: 51 Uploads: 0	Chat Anyone having problems with phanxchat and the 2.4 WoW chat config? Not showing any errors but cant seem to get certain chat channels to remain in certain windows. ie... I use to have guild chat in a new window I setup instead of the general chat frame but now it's in both and no matter what I do, I still get the same.

02-21-08, 09:48 PM
Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 3971 File comments: 1913 Uploads: 38	No, I have no plans for in-game customization of replacement text. I'd prefer to keep configuration limited to simple toggles, not micromanagement of every option with hundreds of suboptions... if I wanted that, I'd just use Prat. The new version will be easier for advanced users to configure by modifying variables at the top of the Lua file. In the current version you can still modify the replacements by editing the Lua, you'll just have to look around for it.

02-21-08, 06:40 PM
bitbybit A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 10 Uploads: 0	Any possibility to allow custom shortening/replacement text for channel names and events like incoming/outgoing whispers? I like to remove a lot of the channel names (guild, party, raid) and just rely on the channel colors to differentiate as it frees up more clutter than having shortened or full length names, but some I like to shorten and not completely remove. That's really the only thing I miss from Prat. Not sure what resource impact it might have or not, but thought I'd throw it out there anyway Love the mod and looking forward to playing w/the new beta

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 3971 File comments: 1913 Uploads: 38	No. Personally I don't see any use at all for this feature. Like class coloring for player names, the player's level is only known (and thus displayable) for players you'd moused over, grouped with, /who queried, or who were on your friends list or in your guild, so it doesn't help you identify unknown players. Unlike class coloring, though, player levels don't improve at-a-glance name recognition for known players... and do add extra text clutter to the chat frame, which is one of the things I wrote this addon to eliminate.
