System Message Control Tool Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

This add-on breaks up a lot of the system messages (the yellow ones) into groups, which you can then decide to send to different chat windows, change the color of them or simply mute them.
It also breaks up various other messages, like the guild messages (normal, officer and MotD), into their own groups, so you can set which chat windows they should show in and in what colors.
Note that regarding the guild messages those are being set through the default chat system (right clicking the chat tab), where all others are controlled from the SMCT option window.

No message will ever be "lost" if you, for instance, delete a chat window and forget to change the setting for some message group. In that case the message will just be sent back to the original chat system to do its default behaviour.

If you want to just change the color of a message, you will have to still set which chat window it should go to. If you just leave it at "Pass-through" the system will ignore the group to speed up processing of messages.

The "Pass-through" option will just send the message back into the original chat system for it to do whatever it's setup to do, so this setting is used for all the messages you just want to act as they do now.

To access the options just type "/smct".

Note:
This has not been fully tested on non-english clients, but it should however work since everything is parsed from the pre-defined variables within WoW.

If you find any messages missing, please give me the exact message and what you did when you got it so I can add it to the system.

The amount of message groups in the system now is rather substantial. I will reorganize them and improve the overall GUI to handle them better, providing a better overview.
Improvements to the profile copy system is coming too.

Phanx A Cobalt Mageweaver Forum posts: 204 File comments: 734 Uploads: 17	I am the author of PhanxChat, and run my own addon and this one together with no issues. Are you getting duplicates of ALL messages, or only system messages? In which chat frame(s) are the duplicate messages appearing? Edited to add -- if you simply want to move ALL system messages to another chatframe, I wouldn't recommend using SMCT to do it. It's a waste of resources when you could just let the existing Blizzard code handle it with no additional overhead. Either edit your chat-cache.txt file directly (close WoW first) and move SYSTEM to the window of your choice, or run the following commands in-game: First, find the actual numbers of your chat frames: Code: /script for i = 1, 7 do getglobal("ChatFrame"..i):AddMessage(i) end Then, for each chat frame you want to add the system message group to: Code: /script AddChatWindowMessages(NUMBER, "SYSTEM") (replace NUMBER with the number you found in step 1) Finally, if you want to remove the system message group from ChatFrame1: Code: /script RemoveChatWindowMessages(1, "SYSTEM") These settings will be saved in Blizzard's chat-cache.txt file and handled by the game without any addon overhead. Oh, and Viper, great addon. Thanks. Last edited by Phanx : 03-19-2008 at 12:42 AM.

Nope, not at present time. Guess it's something I have to consider for the future

Can't say anything off the top of my head, but I'll try and see what I can figure out when I get the chance. Is it only when you have PhanxChat enabled?

The devs say that you had some contact in the past.
Would that be possible?

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Kind regards

I was in contact with them, yes. I didn't want to make a Prat module though, but instead focus on my add-on for those who want a stand-alone add-on to do it.

I did however allow them to use the list of strings I had compiled, so they wouldn't have to go through finding all those, putting them into groups and find parsing patterns for them.

So yeah, ball's in their court

I've uploaded version 1.3.11 which should hopefully take care of it.

Yep, that did the trick, thanks

dctrjons A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 14 Uploads: 0	bah forgot Forgot the most important thing....thanks for getting this running again. This and Prat help my chat filtering a ton. Right now just separating stuff I want to know all the time in the floating always-open window is good enough. But the other functions are nice and will get into refining my other tabs more.

I just tried it in AV and everything worked fine. Can you give me some specific examples of what's not going through?
Do note that in AV a lot of the messages are yells and those aren't being processed (and I doubt they ever will be by this add-on).

Thanks - I completely forgot to change the string parsing for those messages when Blizzard made it so the names were clickable in the /who results.

It's fixed in 1.3.10 which I just uploaded.
