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

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

Added missing config library

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!

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 3574 File comments: 1836 Uploads: 37	No, that's fine. I had it in there, but it only seemed to work if I logged in a major city. If I didn't, it would seem fine when I logged in, but all my channels would reappear when I entered one. So, I figured it'd be easier just to tell people to use a macro, so they can re-run it whenever they need to. If it works consistently for you, you can feel free to put it in there.

I don't know where you put your code to remove the general/trade/localdefense channels at, but i put them under the PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD function, only tested it with about 7 characters but it seems to work, i don't have any errors pop up or anything. Hopes this information helps.

Here is what i have for the code snippet

function PhanxChat:PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD()
FCF_SelectDockFrame(ChatFrame1)
ChatFrame_RemoveChannel(ChatFrame1, "General")
ChatFrame_RemoveChannel(ChatFrame1, "Trade")
ChatFrame_RemoveChannel(ChatFrame1, "LocalDefense")
end

Just trying to be helpful, if you'd rather me not post or edit this, by all means let me know.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 3574 File comments: 1836 Uploads: 37	I've noticed the same thing happening since the last Blizzard patch. I hadn't realized it was my addon, but I'll look into it now. I'd just assumed it was a Blizzard problem, but apparently not. Edit: After some investigation, I've discovered that this problem is not specific to PhanxChat. It's happening to people using other chat mods, and people using no chat mods, and appears to be random. (Rayyna, from what I've read on the WoW forums, probably if you'd logged out and back in a few times without PhanxChat you'd have encountered the same thing.) So my initial assumption that it was a Blizzard problem was correct. There is a workaround for now, which I'll be posting in the addon description as soon as I post this comment. It requires a tiny bit of work on your part, but isn't something I can fix for everyone, as everyone's channel setup is different. Last edited by Phanx : 01-28-07 at 06:56 PM.

blueberrylyl A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 8 Uploads: 0	I've been getting this same issue with all my channels resetting to default. Not sure if it's a pchat issue or a blizzard issue - either way would be awesome if you could write a default join no channels command.

01-27-07, 01:53 AM
rayyna A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 8 Uploads: 0	I am getting a strange behavior that when I zone or log, my channels reset to default. Let me explain: I have two chat windows with one that has guild chat, pst's, party/raid and the other window has all the rest in it. Once set these are fine until I enable Phanxchat. When I enable Pchat and i log or zone (or fly) all of the channels reset so both windows have all of the default WoW channels. This has only started happening since the last patch and the install of Pchat v2.05. Any suggestions? Thank you

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 3574 File comments: 1836 Uploads: 37	grandthrash: Such is the nature of any short, convenient slash command -- it's likely to conflict with another addon using the same short, convenient command for another function. I'm not sure which way the conflict is going, but if you can't use "/tt" for TotemTimers, you can use "/totemtimers", unless the long form has been removed since I used that addon. If you can't use "/tt" for my addon, I can add a longer "/tellt" command. But if you're asking me to remove "/tt" from my addon, sorry, it's staying... every other addon I've seen that adds tell-target functionality also uses "/tt" for it. Listra: Haha. I'll try to get around to it this week. Been a bit busy working on level 70.

01-23-07, 07:19 PM
grandthrash A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 19 Uploads: 0	slash conflict the /tt command is the totem timers command and has been for a long time. Phanx is using this for tell target and it conflicts. If possible please make it wt for whisper target or tellt or something. For now I will edit the lua and change it myself but I imagine I am not the only person who would liek to use both. Also this package is great, keep it up.

Silent54 A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 0 File comments: 51 Uploads: 0	Missing I upgraded from an older version. After doing so, I can no longer see guild mate that come on line (yes the option is checked), I cant see any loot spams either solo or in group, nor can I shift click on a player to see their character stats (ie.. lvl, guild, name etc). I tried rolling back to the older versions but that doesnt solve the problem. I had to go back to version 1.4 to correct this which was the version I upgraded from. By the way, I did delete the saved .lua file but still had the same outcome when using versions above 1.4. update: It was a conflict with Ignoremore and was localized for some reason on just 1 character. I couldnt recreate it on another. Last edited by Silent54 : 01-21-07 at 11:01 AM.

Unzip and open each folder, copy each folders respective ".lua" file and copy it over into the PhanxChat folder. You don't have to copy over the .toc file. It's kind of a long process, but it fixed the error for me. Hope it helps.

I'll take a look at it again... m0j0 -- I'll get it up there at some point, yeah... I've got access, I've just been lazy and haven't gotten around to figuring out how to work with it.
