Found a bug with sender not updating when many bubbles are shown. I'll see into this.

I'm using sInterrupt addon to announce when a spell has been interrupted/stolen. When I'm not in group it announces it in /say. The problem is I still usually get default Blizzard bubble for that. Usually, cause sometimes it works properly though I have no idea what does it depend on.

Hmm... after some more testing it looks (I know it sounds weird) like it depends on latency. High latency & lags = default bubble, low latency = custom one. I could be wrong ofc (and probably I am), but don't see any other pattern determining when it works well and when doesn't.

First of all, nice work.

But i have some questions.

I changed the border and the background, but I have some problems with the tail.

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/5...1711220237.jpg

After the tail the border does not look like it should
Is it possible to hide the tail? Or can you tell me wich line i have to change to get a better look?

I hope you will understand my my german-english.

The problem is that chat bubbles just like nameplates are not uiScaled so it's tricky to achieve pixel perfection. Second off if you are using another border you need to create a new tail border texture to match the border texture. Hiding the tail is easy though. Just delete these lines:

lua Code:
  1. tail:ClearAllPoints()
  2.  
  3. ........
  4.  
  5. bottom2:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", frame, -settings.bd.size, 0)

and add:

lua Code:
  1. tail:Hide()

That should do the trick.

I'm using sInterrupt addon to announce....
Are there any lua errors? If so please post them.

No LUA errors. Was playing for ~3hours yesterday and it was working fine. I'll try to force high latency in game and check if I have the same effect again.

I just wanted to say thank you for this truly excellent addon! It well exceeded my already-high expectations and I am enthralled with how fancy this makes my game look.

I really don't mean to sound like a creepy stalker, but I have been a huge fan of your work for a while. All your submissions are just so sleek and well-designed it makes me want to lie down and become a better person. Whenever I see your name in front of an addon I know it will simply ooze with style and class.

Sorry for gushing. I just wanted to say thank you for all your time and work again!

It is supposed to do so. You have extracted it to the wrong folder then. ...\Interface\AddOns\BubbleBobble\BubbleBobble.toc.

Rlly love the addon though I do found a few bugs in it.
First of all like someone already said sometimes it isn't working. I think it has something to do with the fact that there are 2 people talking almost at the same time and combinated with maybe lagg or something it won't work.

Also sometimes its showing the wrong names in the chat bubble which is very confusing. Sometimes it gets fixed when is mouseover the one talking.
