WhisperNotify

Version: 1.18.5

by: help137 [More]

WhisperNotify

WhisperNotify displays Whispers sent to you in the middle of the screen with a fadeout, ala combat style, message and an optional audio alert.

I tend to overlook Whispers if I'm not specifically watching my chat box, especially Whispers from NPCs during quests. Hence, this little addon. The messages still show up in your chat box, they just also appear in the message area of your screen.

It will remember your settings separately for each character and set itself when loaded.

GUI based config with new options in version 1.15!

WhisperNotify slash commands

You can use /wn or /whispernotify

/wn - shows help
/wn ver - shows the version number
/wn reset - resets all options to defaults.
/wn on - turn WhisperNotify on for the current character
/wn off - turn WhisperNotify off for the current character
/wn silent - toggles alert sound on/off for the current character
/wn status - displays the WhisperNotify Status for the current character
/wn style - toggles bewteen the default and compact display styles
/wn test - sends a test whisper to the on screen diplay
/wn time S - sets time whispers stay on screen before starting to fade to S seconds (default is 5)
/wn fade S - sets time whispers take to fade out to S seconds (default is 2)
/wn move X Y - sets the offset of the frame from the center of the screen
/wn resize W H - sets the size the frame. Default is 600 x 200

To Do

Localization
Configurable Sound
Control Outline on fonts
Possibly add other chat types

05/21/2013 - v1.18.4
- Updated TOC for WoW 5.3

12/01/2012 - v1.18.3
- Updated TOC for WoW 5.1

09/11/2012 - v1.18.2
- Updated TOC for WoW 5.0x

12/01/2011 - v1.18.1
- Updated TOC for WoW 4.3

10/02/2011 - v1.18
- Updated TOC for WoW 4.2

11/29/2010 - v1.17b
- Redid the sound system - Now uses it's own sound files instead of the system sounds. Custom sounds available by replacing the "custom.mp3" file with the sound you want to use.

11/21/2010 - v1.16b
- Should now trigger on BattleNet(RealID) whispers as well. NEEDS TESTING!
- New Config Option - Time Between sounds - This keeps the sound from playing repeatedly if you've got a series of whispers coming in quick sequence.
- New Config Option - Sound to play - Choose which system sound to play.
Note: If you want custom sounds for your chat messages, I suggest the addon "ChatSounds", available on WowInterface
- Added Optional Dependancy to the TOC to make sure ChatSounds is loaded first if you are using it, this allows ChatSounds to hook the events first.

11/14/2010 - v1.15
- Fixed combat suppresion bug (I hope!)
- Added config GUI. Go to Game Menu - Interface - Addons - WhisperNotify to configure. All of the old command line options are still in place for now.
- In my personal opionion there is something wrong with a system where the code for the config needs to be twice the size of the actual program code...
- The Font, along with it's color, size and alpha(transparency) can now be set, but only from the GUI, not the command line.
- Small oddity: if the Alpha is less than fully opaque, the message will go fully opaque just before it fades out. Dunno why yet.
- Another small oddity: If the font size is raised above a certain size (30 on my system), the game ignores it and continues to disply at 30. I think this has something to do with the UI Scaling. Not sure if I can do anything about this.

11/12/2010 - v1.12b - Beta Version

11/09/2010 - v1.11b - Code and internal variable cleanup in prep for config GUI. Not released to the public.

11/10/2010 - v1.10a - Bug "fix" release, disabled combat check.

11/09/2010 - v1.10

-Added slash command to move frame
-Added slash command to resize frame
-Added slash commands to set time and fade delays
-Added option to suppress whisper display if in combat
-Added option for one line display instead having the name on a separate line.
-Fixed bug where if the sound was on, but the addon was off, the sound would still play.

11/05/2010 - v1.02 - Fixed issue with on/off command that was preventing addon from working for some.

11/04/2010 - v1.00 - Initial Release

I hear you on RealID - my only connections are to my son, my daughter and my father. He is now recently alone and the game allows me to keep tabs on him while giving him something to take his mind off things. Win-win.

I have gotten it all working. I'm in the process of messing with sounds and a config option to allow outgoing messages (_INFORM) to be seen - and I am also working with ways to turn off guild messages if they come from the player.

In short, I'm kinda having fun playing mud football in your front yard... Tell me to stop whenever you need to.

Re: Donation

Hey, I'm glad you like it! I find the donation popups irritating, so I don't turn mine on. But, if you'd like to contribute to my cat's "tuna fish for all" campaign, they take donations here

I'm working on being able to pick from a number of the system sounds for the next version, but if you want custom sounds for all your chat messages, I highly suggest the ChatSounds addon by Dridzt. He's produced a great addon for configurable sounds for any/all of your chat channels. I don't plan on duplicating all his work in this addon since they work so well together.

If the current sound really bugs you, you can change the "PlaySound" line in the code with one of the other system sounds. There's a LOT of them and I'm still working on narrowing the list down to something manageable for the addon. If you find a particularly pleasing one, let me know

Changes: - Should now trigger on BattleNet(RealID) whispers as well. NEEDS TESTING! - New Config Option - Time Between sounds - This keeps the sound from playing repeatedly if you've got a series of whispers coming in quick sequence. - New Config Option - Sound to play - Choose which system sound to play. -- Note: The available sounds are a random sampling of the system sounds. I'm still sorting through the hundreds of available sounds for good ones. I'm also considering not using the system sounds at all and finding some external sounds. I've got a couple of CDs of royalty free SoundFX around here somewhere. - Added Optional Dependancy to the TOC to make sure ChatSounds is loaded first if you are using it, this allows ChatSounds to hook the events first. -A

I miss people talking to me all the time in G chat, would be a nice addition.

Been getting this error when I try to do a specific battleground when I click on the join battle button.

Hmm... No, not dead, I just wandered off for a bit. I don't do much Battleground work. Can you give me more details and I'll see if I can duplicate it? It shouldn't be using any protected actions...

When I disable Whisper Notify then there are no issues.. I see this ad-don hasn't been updated in along time and I hope it will be updated soon because it works great while in combat and someone whispers you because I don't notice a whisper in the default location at the lower left, so Having it popup in the middle of the screen can be a life saver when I'm tanking and another tank whispers me. Now since I cant use the ad-don I really see how addicted I am to it..
