zChat

Version: 1.4b

by: Zergreth [More]

Attention!

I'm not going to be working on this for a while, as I'm not actively playing WoW right now. I will, however, update this as soon as possible! Promised!

Thanks to: Tekkub for teknicolor, which I used as a reference
This AddOn supports: Class Colors
Config type: Lua config. You will have to edit the core.lua file in the zChat folder to configurate this addon. There is no ingame config (yet!).

What is it?
zChat is a simple, lightweight chat AddOn. Made initially for personal use, it only has features I use and a few more.

Features

Custom font size (default is 12, Blizzard default is 14)
Time stamps
Modification of the channel format (default is "CHANNEL|", Blizzard default is "[CHANNEL]")
Color player names in class colors (support for Class Colors, see above)
Change the appearance of the chat box
Save chat history inbetween sessions
Scroll through chat history without holding down your alt key
Resize and slightly reposition the chat buttons
Disable fading of old text
Possibility to hide the buttons
Possibility to move the chat box above the chat
Tell target slash command: "/tt message"
Own nickname highlight
New: Unclamp the chat frames
New: Hide the "friends" button

Notes
If the class of a player isn't known yet, the name will appear with a gray color.
Right-aligned chat buttons are not possible yet due to the button modifications. I will work around this later.
I suggest turning the chat options back to classic behavior while using zChat.
The current release is the initial 3.3.5 release. Not everything I promised is implented yet, I just released this early to enable usage with 3.3.5 again. Stay tuned!

There's a small config in the core.lua. You can do/change the following:

Font size
Time stamp color
Time stamp format
Channel format
Player name format
Player name no-class color
Highlight color
Hide the buttons
Move the chat box above the chat

I'm open for suggestions, though implementation of new features should be worth it (no useless features).

Please report all bugs you can find

1.4b - 14th July 2010
- removed scrolling with scrollwheels; default feature now
- added unclamping of the chat frames
- added hiding of the new friends button
- fixed issues with 3.3.5

1.3 - 5th January 2010
- toc bump
- fixed/improved several things
- added own nickname highlighting

1.2 - 26th March 2009
- added tell target slash command

1.1 - 20th March 2009
- added option to hide the buttons
- added option to move the chat box above the chat

Anything about this?

Thx!

Don't think that zChat has caused this. Make sure the chat frame buttons are visible, then click the menu button (the one with the speech bubble) and select Orcish again (it's there somewhere).

The blizzard option also supports Classcolors or..?
anyways ..i like simple addons !:>

It was never needed, I just used it as a reference when creating zChat. Class colors are supported natively by zChat, because the default implementation by Blizzard is not exactly what I wanted, so I kept mine.

So it will take a few days, sorry.

Sticky channels sounds like a good enough feature to be implemented

I will throw that into the next update, also adding the ingame config. By the way, sorry for the delay on that config I promised a while a go. I had lots of stuff going on recently. Will add & upload it soon

Changing it using Blizzard's options doesn't work with zChat, sorry. There are just not enough options, so I moved that into zChat itself. There's a variable for it in the options section of the Lua file where you can set it to 8.

Hmm, that's quite weird. This shouldn't happen. Please tell me which version of WoW you are using (which localization), and to whom (ingame) it happens - is it a stranger, somebody in your friends list, somebody in your guild, ...
