Chicchai

Version: 3.3.2

by: Lolzen, xConStruct

Explanation
Chicchai is a little Addon that will Minimize the Chat after a few seconds.

What can Chicchai do?

Minimize the Chat after X seconds
Maximize Chat on mouseover
Animations (+how long should the Animation take)
Configurable on wich events (Guild, say, yell,...) the chat should maximize
Possibility to disable maximizing in combat
CombatLog will be maximized when selected (optional, default)
Lightweight
and more...

Other
Click for Previewvideo - lousy quality, but you'll get the idea.

Configuration
The configuration will be done through lua only. The .lua contains comments for inexperienced users.

You can call some functions if you want to handle maximizing/minimizing by yourself:

/script ChatFrame1:Maximize() - Maximize this chat frame
/script ChatFrame1:Minimize() - Minimize this chat frame
/script ChatFrame1:SetFrozen(true/false) - block maximizing/minimizing

Thanks to
Cargor (EU-Nozdormu)
I asked him if he would help me a bit, because im so a lazy bastard. So he started coding and POOF - Chicchai was like in my dreams, even better :3

Hope ya enjoy,
Lolzen

Kerecha. I Believe this is what you need to do, for whichever chat frames you want to collapse/maximize. So if you have 3 chat frames, make sure to also add ["ChatFrame3"] = true in the appropriate section as well, and so on.

Sorry for the wait. RL's been hectic to say the least. Here's what I'm currently using.

Edit: I haven't been able to get maximize on input to work yet, but I left the variable defined for the time being.

The CPU temperature issues I had are gone since a few weeks - thanks to thermal grease, never thought that it makes such a difference But since I switched to another linux distro (Kubuntu -> Arch btw) some days ago, my WoW keeps crashing with the infamous 132 / ACCESS_VIOLATION error as soon as I've entered my login credentials. But linux > WoW, so I rather quit WoW than switching to Windows Well, let's just hope that re-installing solves the issue. --- Make sure that ChatFrame2 is listed in the ChatFrameConfig (since Chicchai only modifies these frames).

1) MaximizeCombatLog:
It does not have a "toggle"-function and was never planned to have one. It was meant to serve in a dock-setup where the combatlog gets maximized if it is shown in the dock-group. So it maximizes when ChatFrame2Tab is clicked and minimizes if another one is clicked.
You better start by writing your own custom toggle-function.

Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that you're still having issues with WoW. Best of luck on getting that up and running. Hopefully the computer issues you've mentioned earlier have been resolved ?

Regarding #1, is there any way you can point me to what code to modify to at least get the combat log (chatframe2) emulating the main chat window's behavior of moving down, and up when I mouse over it ? I use what is probably the secondary standard chat frame set-up, with the chat log and combat log separated out into two windows. Currentlly, the chat frame goes up and down like a champ, but the combat log is being stubborn, lol. You can see what I used to have Chicchai doing in my UI Vid if my description isn't clear enough, Necrie's UI. As to re-writing the toggling, I basically rewrote code that had been posted here. I know enough about coding to get myself in trouble, as the saying goes, but not enough to write my own code >.<

Here's looking forward to what you'll come up with ! I'll keep on testing it, because I really like this addon

You better start by writing your own custom toggle-function. 2) Expand Chat on Combat: Ah yes, going to include it in the next update. 3) Maximize on editbox: The code needs a complete rewrite for the new chat, based on two changes: a) Each chat frame has its own editbox (ChatFrameXEditBox) - you'd need to hook them all, because it depends on which chat frame is active. b) They are not shown when they are opened (and not hidden when closed) as before, because they are visible (but faded) the whole time if their chat frame is shown. So you better go with hooking the "OnEditFocusGained" and "OnEditFocusLost" events. I try to test and maybe include all of them in Chicchai as soon as my WoW is running again ... and maybe I can get the Chicchai-rewrite finally done ... __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!

Edit: Nix that, I'm not getting errors, but its also not raising the chat window when I open the edit box.

Do I need to change:

orgChatFrame_OpenChat

orgChatFrame1_OpenChat

and

ChatFrame_OpenChat

ChatFrame1_OpenChat

as well ?

Well, I tried to do that. It didn't work so well. Here's the error I got:

Well as for your #3 problem, I guess ChatFrameEditBox API got changed to ChatFrame1EditBox last patch, change all

Code:

ChatFrameEditBox

Code:

ChatFrame1EditBox

If you notice it has "1" in it now, Im guessing this something to do with blizz assigning each edit box frame a specific function number for the new Real Friend id stuff they added. Anyhow tested it with the 1 in there and it worked

All righty then, I'll go over what I've found so far. I've listed them hopefully is some semblance of priority. #1 is related to existing code, while 2 and 3 are additional bits of code that have been posted here previously (but I wouldn't mind the insight from someone who knows what they're doing to get 3 working again

).

1. Firstly, the combat log is not minimizing if its separated from the chat log. Clicking on the combat log tab (when seperated) does not cause it to collapse. The "MaximizeCombatLog" descriptor doesn't seem to be working. I took the same code and copied it and changed it to affect chatframe1, and Chat frame one stopped collapsing as well.
Before the last patch, I was using this code to achieve the desired behavior in chat window 1, but I had the same thing for chat window 2:

if(MaximizeChatLog) then
hooksecurefunc("FCF_Tab_OnClick", function(self)
local frame = getChicchai(ChatFrame1)
if(frame.Frozen) then
SetFrozen(frame, nil)
Animate(frame, DOWN)
elseif(self == ChatFrame1Tab) then
Animate(frame, UP)
SetFrozen(frame, true)
end
end)
end

That no longer works very well. It will minimize the chat frame if you click the tab, but it will not maximize the frame and lock it in place if you click the tab when its minimized. If I read your code correctly, it looks like it was aimed at doing the same thing I had mine doing, i.e. Click on the tab to expand the chat frame and lock it in place, click it again to unlock and collapse the frame. It just doesn't seem to be working quite right.
Any thoughts ?

2. The Expand Chat on Combat code that was listed a while back here seems to work still, though I haven't tested it extensively, and I was only able to test it with chat frame 1 since chat frame 2 won't collapse. I can re-post it if needed.

3. Ok, a while back, some code was posted to maximize the chat frame when you opened the chat frame edit box, i.e. hit the Return key, the "/" key, "R" to reply to someone, and so on. The code for that was:

if (MaximizeOnInput) then
local orgChatFrame_OpenChat = ChatFrame_OpenChat
ChatFrame_OpenChat = function(text, chatFrame)
self = chatFrame
if ( not self ) then
self = DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME;
end

if (not ChatFrameEditBox:IsShown()) then
Animate(self, UP, WaitAfterEnter)
end

orgChatFrame_OpenChat(text, chatFrame)
end

ChatFrameEditBox:SetScript('OnHide', function (self)
self = DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME
if (not ChatFrameEditBox:IsShown()) then
Animate(self, DOWN, WaitAfterLeave)
end
end);
end

And you had to add a line in the Config section of the .lua file:

local MaximizeOnInput = true

Well, I tried to do that. It didn't work so well. Here's the error I got:

Theoretically it should fix the line 179-related error. Could someone test it please? Going to look into the second error (152er) as soon as WoW's running again. __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!
