The Minimized Chat...

Chicchai

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
Configurable on wich events (Guild, say, yell,...) the chat should maximize
Posibility to disable maximizing on combat
CombatLog will be maximized when selected (optional)
and more...

Other
Click for Previewvideo - lousy quality, but you'll get the idea.
Uses about 6.8 kb

Configuration
The configuration will be done through lua only. Commented, so it will be easy, i think.

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

I'm having the same problem, all other tabs goes white exept for the general window. If I make a new tab the bgcolor is white and unchangeable. Disabling Chicchai "solves" this.

Okay, I solved the problem.

Both of you need to add the other chat frames (3, ...) in your config-table. Otherwise Chicchai won't check on these if the mouse hovers or not. So, just make a new entry under ChatFrame1 with an empty table:

Code:

["ChatFrame3"] = {},

I will probably come up with a better solution in the next version - which will likely be another rewrite for the 3.1 animations-API

Now I feel like a noob. Thanks for your help, seems to be working fine even with 3.1.

ok, this may answer my question.

i have, lets say, 3 chat tabs docked together. the first tab is working great. but when i change to the 3rd tab (2nd is combat .. also working) and hover over it, it doesnt maximize. is it because the first tab is minimized so all other stay also minimized?

in the previous version it worked on all chat tabs

thanks

Cargor A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 130 File comments: 242 Uploads: 17	Thanks for the report! First of all, scrolling up shouldn't affect Chicchai at all. I'll try to reproduce it tomorrow and for that I have some more detailed questions: Your chat frames are docked with tabs in your interface, right? Just to clarify that a bit. When / which chat frames don't maximize when entering with the mouse? Is ChatFrame3 added in the config-file? Chicchai provides the :SetFrozen-function only for the frames mentioned in the config. The problem with docked/tabbed frames is that in reality only the first chat frame is resized, because all other frames are attached to it and follow its dimensions. __________________ « Homepage \| Git » Oh hai!

xtoq A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 24 File comments: 504 Uploads: 1	Ok, have a weird thing with the new version. I have 6 chat frames on my main. If I go to #1 (General) and scrollup, while I'm scrolled up, the frame stays maximized (expected behavior). If I go to any other chat frame (except combat) and do the same thing, it minimizes after the set time, just as if I wasn't 1) scrolled up and 2) hovering over the chat frame. It doesn't maximize consistently when my mouse comes into the frame either (yes I have the options set in the lua). I tried the /script ChatFrame3:SetFrozen(true) but I got the following error: Date: 2009-04-12 18:15:26 ID: 3 Error occured in: Global Count: 1 Message: [string "ChatFrame3:SetFrozen(true)"] line 1: attempt to call method 'SetFrozen' (a nil value) Debug: (tail call): ? [C]: SetFrozen() [string "ChatFrame3:SetFrozen(true)"]:1: in main chunk [C]: RunScript() ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:1720: ?() ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:3210: ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:3163 [C]: ChatEdit_ParseText() ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2930: ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2929 [C]: ChatEdit_SendText() ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2951: ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2950 [C]: ChatEdit_OnEnterPressed() [string ":OnEnterPressed"]:1: [string ":OnEnterPressed"]:1 Anywho, I'll do some more troubleshooting later, after Naxx. Not a big deal either way, but thought you'd like to know about it. At least if the frozen issue can get fixed, then I can just not have minimization on those frames. SetFrozen does disable ALL mini/maximization on that chat frame, right?

Thought it would wrap a folder around it - I'll update it as soon as possible. __________________ « Homepage \| Git » Oh hai! Last edited by Cargor : 04-11-2009 at 05:26 PM.
