Version: v10.7, Classic: v10.7
by: Xruptor [More]

This is my personal modifications to the default blizzard chat frames. I really didn't want something as heavy as Prat installed to do a few things I needed. So I hand coded my own chat modifications.

I'm probably not going to make any major updates. However, if you have suggestions I may take it into consideration.


What the mod gives you:

  • Mousewheel control for scrolling
  • Move the chat frame to the edges of the screen.
  • Hold CTRL while using the mousewheel to scroll ridiculously fast.
  • Hold ALT while using the mousewheel to scroll to the top or bottom of the chat window.
  • Automatically enables class colors on all chat windows and channels.
  • Option to hide/show the social chat buttons.
  • Option to hide/show the chat scroll buttons.
  • Option to enable/disable channel short names.
  • Option to move the edit box to the top or bottom.
  • Option to show or hide the chat tabs. (Will still show when you mouse over the chat frame.)
  • Enables stick channels for the following channels
    1. Say
    2. Party
    3. Raid
    4. Guild
    5. Officer
    6. Whisper
    7. Channel
  • Removes the ALT key press requirement to move around in the edit box. You can now move just using the arrow keys.
  • Saves up to the last 40 lines you have typed in the edit box. You can use the UP and DOWN keys to navigate the history when the edit box is opened.
  • Removes the annoying Blizzard default alpha borders around the edit box when it's not being used. The borders will still show though when you use it and hide again when you are done.
  • Removes the guild loot gold messages and replaces them with the original ones.
  • Option to enable a Copy Chat Button, which will allow you to copy as much text from chat as you like.
  • Option to enable additional Player coloring in chat and even add Player Levels to their names.
  • Has built in URL support. Clickable URL links in the chat window.


Note: Timestamps were not included because Blizzard already implemented this feature into the client.
Options -> Interface -> Social -> Chat Timestamps



Slash Commands:
  • /xanchat social -- toggles the chat social buttons (ON/OFF)
  • /xanchat scroll -- toggles the chat scroll buttons (ON/OFF)
  • /xanchat shortnames -- toggles channel short names (ON/OFF)
  • /xanchat editbox -- toggles the edit box to show (TOP/BOTTOM)
  • /xanchat tabs -- toggles the chat tabs (ON/OFF)
  • /xanchat shadow - toggles text shadows for chat fonts (ON/OFF)
  • /xanchat voice - toggles the Blizzard voice chat buttons (ON/OFF)

Ok, got it all sorted...
  1. You have to use the "Edit Mode" in the new blizz UI
  2. You can't, but I found that there is a mod called "Leatrix Plus" that has a option to "unclamp" the chat window, so you can drag it to the exact edge of the screen. This is a solution.
  3. Just disable FADE and in xanChat there is a opacity slider you can set.

Thanks!
I'm so incredibly sorry! I rarely check WOWInterface these days and the darn thing doesn't send me a notification on forum post. I spend most of my time answering tickets and questions on all my addons within GitHub. Which I posted on the description hehee. Sorry about that! I'm glad you were able to figure it out. The new Edit Mode ability from Blizzard has really messed up a lot of addons that deal with interface elements. In addition a lot of the code has been secured and thus authors are prevented from touching the code without "tainting" the interface.

Just come back to game.. adding my fav mods.. happy to see the best chat mod still going.... one thing though.. I can not seem to work out how to scale and position the chat window... the little "drag to scale shape" thing in the bottom right courner is not there and I can not seem to drag the general tab... I can pull out and move the combat tab, and when I do the little diagonal dashes are there.

: TL,DR :
  1. How can I drag and shape the the chat window for the general tab as the little diagonal icon on the bottom right are missing.
  2. Also how can I position the entire general chat tab
  3. How can I make the chat window completely opaque and not ever see through?



Screen shot.... ignore buttons just setting up UI...

See how there is no diagonal scale thing in the bottom right courner of the chat window?

Also see how in the new "edit" mode.. I have it scaled as much as I can and placed flush with the edge of the screen... but there is a ton of space to the left and the bottom? How can I get the chat window to be flush with the endge of my screen?

thanks!

No it does not I'm afraid. I don't think I will add this feature, since I don't play on RP realms.

You mean horizontal and vertical? Not sure what you mean exactly. You can resize them and position them.

I'll add it to my list of things to implement. I'm working on a few other addons but I'll see about adding this to xanChat when I can.
Thanks! Looking forward to it

I see, I'll use your suggestions!

At the very least, unless it's simply a much more rare error than the other one, I think you fixed the CheckInteractDistance error.
