NeonChat

Version: 3.2

by: mikma [More]

NeonChat does a simple thing:

It colors the chat+editbox border+background to match the active chat you are about to write.

Now it's easier to notice if you are about to talk into a wrong chat!
Prettiness rules OK!

3.2:
* GMChatFrame doesn't result an error now.

3.1:
* 4.3 update

3.05:
* Added a slashcommand to toggle chat coloring on/off.

3.04:
* Now uses the border of default Chat EditBox and simply applies a background to it.
* Colors background of the chatframe, too.

3.03:
* Took a try to fix the "Huge" editbox issue with whisper frames

3.02:
* Old style chat editbox is back.
* Now highlights correctly the focused chat frame.

3.01:
* Fixed error with IM mode and custom channels.
* Works with Classic mode.

3.0:
* Complete rewrite for 3.3.5
* Removed options since game colors input now and people still need the chat to be colored :)

2.02:
* ChatEditBox background alpha works again like it should

2.01:
* Spells/Items in ChatFrame1 can now be re-linked if NeonChat -frames are visible

2.0:
* Recode for WoW 3.1 (just cleaned up the code to be nicer :)

1.4:
* top updated to 3.0

1.3.1:
* toc updated to 2.4

1.3:
* Added option to color ChatFrame1 border
* Added slashcommand to toggle the chatborder on/off
* Renamed DB in order to reset old settings

1.2:
* Fixed an error that would pop up if you would have stickychannels on. (ie. You have sticky Trade on and as active channel, exit city and press enter = error)

1.1:
* Added slashcommand, /neonchat (You can now change the alpha of the backdrop and border)
* Added a minor color into chatinput background

1.0:
* Release

/neonchat does that trick, but on the other hand, the game has builtin editbox coloring (not as nice tho

, so you could just disable the whole addon then.

It's just a sanity check added, no code changes done (or needed afaik)

A quick fix (since apart from this startup error the addon works fine)

Right click -> download and save as NeonChat.lua replacing the original.

Link just leads to http://pastebin.com/GaSXLFE0 which is a text file for the security paranoid.
(not an altogether bad affliction to have).

Unfortunately bugged in WoW 4.3 (worked fine up to & including 4.2).

v3.05, USEnglish client/server, WoW 4.3 live, no other mods running (except BugSack/BugGrabber/StatBlockCore). Log on and immediately the following are thrown up:

Code:

            ["session"] = 4940,
            ["counter"] = 1,
        }, -- [1000]

This is unfortunately consistent behavior, no matter the mod load.

It's Cellular.

Aisenfaire A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 269 Uploads: 0	Can't tell if this is a Cellular or Neonchat problem (happens only when both are enabled): Whenever I hit the reply button, it pops up a big blank colored box the same size as my chat window, just awkwardly sitting there until I've finished typing and hit enter. I've tried using the "/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage( GetMouseFocus():GetName() );" command to get its name but I just get "WorldFrame". Last edited by Aisenfaire : 01-20-11 at 09:20 AM.

You said give it a week, I waited longer. So here's hoping you "want to do something about it".

Donate me 1 month subscription or wait until beta allows addons. Those are your options at the moment.

Quite possible, when addons start working in Cataclysm Beta.

I don't have active subscription at the moment.
