Picking up the idea and materializing the addon, maintaining through years after quitting WoW

3.4.5.1
* prevent chatevents interfering while mouse is hovering over the chatframe

3.4.5
* fixup boolean error

3.4.4
* config: cleanup events removed from game and update reference list per link

3.4.3
* refix frozen chat window on login by direct calls of Animate() instead of unpdateHeight()
* respect MaximizeCombatLog on floating combatlog and handle docking/dedocking it

3.4.2.2
* fix error on chatevent when chatframe is not in config

3.4.2.1
* fix minimizing/maximizing ALL windows on mouseover

3.4.2
* config is now an own file, instead of being part of core.lua
this allows for copying/backing up your config between updates
* swept through code and used chatframes directly instead of frames tucked on the chatframes
* fixed a bug where config setting would be ignored for certain chat events (eg. only ChatFrame1 for "say" is set, but ChatFrame3 and ChatFrame4 would have been triggered)

3.4.1
* fixed "frozen" chat window on login

3.4
* crude legion update

3.3.2
* try to minimize chat on load
* Re-introduce ChatFrame:UpdateHeight() to manually update the height
* fixed a possible error with the chat-tabs

3.3.1
* fixed chat height of messages spanning multiple lines

3.3
*fixes for 3.3.5
*simpler event handling, including battle.net-events

3.2
*Prevent chat from resizing when moving it around

3.1
*TOC bump
*Added new PartyLeader event to the eventlist

3.0
* Another rewrite
* Chicchai now uses less CPU time
* You can define how many lines you'd like to see in minimized mode
* docked chatframes are now handled properly
* fixed chat frame flickering happening sometimes on mouseover
* you can define how long you should hover the frame until it maximizes
* chatframes can stay maximized for a defined time before minimizing on mouseleave
* you can configure on which custom channels the chatframe maximizes

2.0
*Core rewritten
*You are now able to manage the chatframes you want to be affected (like chatframe 5, 6, 8, and so on)
*TOC bump

1.1
*A few improvements
*Now Updates when the Chat Window is too small or big

1.0.1
*Added Option, that the Chat will stay open for a defined time after mouseover

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.

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.

arcuido A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I had the same Problem with the white background. I took a look into the lua file and edited line 26 original: art = false, -- shows/hides background and borders around the chat frames edit: art = false, -- shows/hides background and borders around the chat frames Solved the Problem for me. mfg

xConStruct A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 199 File comments: 374 Uploads: 18	The original Chicchai doesn't do anything around chat frame background or borders. If you have a modified version of another author (e.g. an UI compilation), you should report the problem to him. __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!

H0PE A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 28 File comments: 299 Uploads: 1	problem with the addon In the past I had no issues with additional tabs on chat window. If I moved over to any of the tabs and started typing/or mouse-overed to these tabs chicchai nicely opened the window up. Recently mouse-over and/or entering text to the chat doesn't maximize my extra tabs, only if some text appears on the main tab. Could you please fix this? Details why I got additional tabs and I really need these: I've created 2 additional tabs on my chat window. I've put whispers on a separate tab (so I can kind of see all whispers and scroll up, withouth needing an addon to save log and stuff) and one for general channels so I can get rid of spammy text in big cities. Many thanks in advance!

xConStruct A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 199 File comments: 374 Uploads: 18	Did you add your additional tabbed chat-frames to the configuration-table? E.g. Code: ["ChatFrame3"] = {} Otherwise Chicchai won't check for mouseover or events on them. It is planned in the next version to reenable these features on all frames. __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!

huhh I didnt have to touch the configuration in the past, I could try copy paste the settings mirroring the main tab if thats possible. I check, thanks...

Tried to modify the lua file like this:

["ChatFrame2"] = {
-- "CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL",
"CHAT_MSG_WHISPER",
-- "CHAT_MSG_WHISPER_INFORM",
},

So chatframe 2 should maximize if there are whispers coming in/going out I guess, but nothing happened really. If I mouseover to the chatframe while that tab is active still no chatframe movement. What did I do wrong or I need to add something else too?

xConStruct A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 199 File comments: 374 Uploads: 18	Not at the moment, but I maybe include it in the next version. In the meantime you can test this piece of code, place it wherever you want: Code: local combatMin = CreateFrame"Frame" combatMin:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event) if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then ChatFrame2:Maximize() else ChatFrame2:Minimize() end end) combatMin:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED") combatMin:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED") I didn't test it, though, so maybe it doesn't work __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!

Kellindil A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 15 Uploads: 0	Thank you for the reply. The code [if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED"] should be [if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED"]. It works right after I change the code like that. I love this addon. Thank you.
