This addon modifies the chatframes.

Features

Timestamps on all messages, hh:mm format.
Text replacement; "[1. General]" becomes "1", "Raid" becomes "R".
The editbox is on top and doesnt have a background.
You no longer need to hold alt to move through the editbox.
Mousewheel scrolling. Hold shift to scroll to the top/bottom.
A slash command "/tt" to send a message to your target. Use "/tt <message>".

Should fix the extra brackets problem.

Should work, change the bits in red depending on whether you would want parenthesis or brackets etc.

This does work but i get an extra set of [] after the chatchannel like this
[G] []name:...........

The arrow key tip worked wonders but i still cant get teknicolor to work in guildchat tho, i have revision 756 of teknicolor.

Ohh and i got a smaller keybind addon for my chat, called chat-bindings from curse, small and sexy

I presume you mean line 147

Code:

	ChatFrameEditBox:SetAltArrowKeyMode(nil)

removing that should work.

As for teknicolor download it from Google code
to get it to work with idchat modify line 54 to

Code:

		x[k] = string.format("|cff%s%s|r", colors[v], k)

and 174 to

Code:

	if name and names[name] then text = string.gsub(text, "|h"..name.."|h", "|h"..names[name].."|h") end

Should work, change the bits in red depending on whether you would want parenthesis or brackets etc.

Timestamps

Code:

text = '|cff999999' .. date('%H%M') .. '|r ' .. text

Change the bit in green using strftime depending on what time you want it to display.

I use a modified teknicolor.

Thank you for that

Now all i need is to get the arrow keys back so i can use altkey again to go back in my editbox and im set.

4. make it possible to wrap channel names into parenthesis or brackets.

change line 55 to 67.

How do you mean, like make line 55 to look like line 67 or how ?

As you can see im no Lua expert so i need some guidance here pls

Thx for you help

Hmm my editbox is not transpant, still have the background, all are "out of the box" had Prat before and cleaned all my saved variables from it too.

i would like to get my editbox moved up some too and i guess i have to change the lines 134 and 135 to do that ? Edit, fixed

And while im on it i might ask for a thing i liked with Prat and that was that i could bind the channel to a key and just open that channel with a keystroke but this seems not to be built in in idchat, is there a way to do that anyhow or can i look for it in Prat.lua and maybe copy/paste it to idchat so i can have it or do i just have to learn to use my / command ?
Edit, fixed that using the Mod "ChatKeys"

Im also trying out RS_ClassColors to see if i get the names in colour.

Right click on your chat tab go under channels, the officer and click to change the colour.(It's built into wow.

3. Allow to change the timestamp format and add a seperator.

Andalia A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	Get back to googlecode! It's a lot easier to do some customization on your addons and still keep up with your changes via svn diff. I hate it to update from wowinterface and search for your changes. At least some statement about why you moved would be nice. __________________ Last edited by Andalia : 12-23-2007 at 11:16 AM.
