PhanxChat  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 8.0.0.1
by: Phanx, Akkorian

I am no longer developing or maintaining World of Warcraft addons. I haven't played in years, and don't have the time or interest to continue working on addons for a game I don't play anymore. If you are an addon author interested in continuing one of my addons, please see https://phanx.net/addons/. If you are an addon user, sorry, but there won't be any more fixes or updates from me.
Removes chat frame clutter and adds some functionality.
[DE] Entfernt das Durcheinander des Chat-Fensters und fügt einige Funktionen hinzu.
[ES] Eliminar desorden de la ventana de chat y ańadir algunas funciones.
[FR] Retire les restrictions du chat et ajoute quelques fonctionnalités.
[PT] Remover a desordem da janela de bate-papo e adicionar algumas funcionalidades.
[RU] Удаляет беспорядок в окне чата и добавляет новые возможности.
[CN] 移除聊天框的杂物并加入一些功能。
[TW] 移除聊天框架的雜亂並新增一些功能。

Features
  • Shortens chat channel names
  • Shortens cross-realm character names and Real ID player names
  • Replaces Real ID player names and BattleTags with WoW character names
  • Enables arrow keys without the Alt key (*)
  • Enables resizing chat frames by their edges
  • Makes all channels sticky (**)
  • Makes URLs clickable for easy copying
  • Moves the input box above the chat frame
  • Sets the delay time for chat text fading
  • Stops docked chat tabs from being dragged
  • Hides the scroll, menu, and social buttons
  • Hides extra textures on chat frames
  • Hides the flashing effect on chat tabs
  • Hides channel notification messages
  • Hides repeated messages in public channels
  • Enables class colored names in all channels with a single click
  • Changes the text size in all chat frames from a single control
(*) As of Patch 5.4 using Up/Down to access previously entered chat lines without the Alt key is limited to non-secure commands only. If you need to access previously entered secure commands (like /cast or /use) you will still need to hold the Alt key.

(**) If a channel is sticky, then after talking in that channel, the chat input box will open to the same chat type again, rather than making you type “/g” or “/ra” again.
Options & Commands
  • Type “/pchat” for options, or find them in the Interface Options.
  • Type “/clear” or “/clearchat” to clear all visible chat windows.
  • Type “/clear all” or “/clearchat all” to clear all chat windows.
  • Type “/tt" or “/wt” to send a whisper to your current target.
Some additional options, such as customizing which channels are made sticky and what abbreviations are used for channel names, are available by editing the Core.lua file in a plain-text editor such as Notepad. If you break something, download a fresh copy and try again.

Please DO NOT send me PMs asking for help, reporting bugs, or requesting features. To report a bug or suggest a feature, see the instructions below. To get help, post a comment. I read and respond to every ticket and comment!
Language Support
Works in all languages. Translated into English, Deutsch, Espańol, Français, Portuguęs, Русский, 한국어, 简体中文, and 繁體中文 (partial). Add or update translations for any locale on CurseForge!
Feedback
Post a ticket or comment. If you are reporting a bug, please include directions I can follow to reproduce the bug, whether it still happens when all other addons are disabled, and the exact text of the related error message (if any) from Bugger.

Version 3.3.5.94

Due to file changes, you should completely uninstall your existing copy of the addon before installing this version. Removing your old saved variables is recommended, but not required.
  • Added a Shorten Player Names feature, which shortens player names by removing realm names from cross-realm players and last names from Real ID players.
  • Removed the Auto Start Chat Log feature, because I never used it.
  • Removed the Color Player Names feature, because it was just too much code and performance overhead to color the very few types of messages that the default UI doesn't already color, and also confused all the people who never read patch notes or change logs.
  • Translations are needed for all locales.
  • All existing translations for the configuration UI have been discarded, since none of them had been updated since the transition from slash commands to a GUI over a year ago. If you can provide translations for any locale, please send me a PM.
  • Additionally, several chat channels are currently only shortened in English locales, because nobody has provided translations for them. If you see a channel name that isn't shortened, please post a bug report ticket with your locale (eg. "German" or "deDE"), the English name of the channel (eg. "General"), the localized name of the channel (eg. "Allgemein"), and an appropriate short form for your locale (eg. "A").

Version 3.3.5.72
  • Updated for patch 3.3.5. NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE.
  • Added an “Enable resize edges” option to add resize controls along all edges of chat frames, and remove the bottom-left-corner resize arrow. This basically just restores pre-3.3.5 chat frame resizing functionality.
  • Added a “Hide extra textures” option to hide the extra textures on chat tabs and chat edit boxes added in patch 3.3.5.
  • Removed the “Enable mousewheel scrolling” option, since this functionality is now provided by the default UI.
  • Modified the default UI's mousewheel scrolling to scroll more lines at a time, page up/down on ctrl, and top/bottom on shift.
  • Fixed a bug preventing custom short channel name formats from using the channel name in addition to the channel number.
  • Translations are needed for the new options in all locales. Also, major revisions are needed for several locales. If you can assist with translations for any locale, please send me a PM.

No, I just updated the addon listing to mark it as working in 2.3, as no changes were needed.

No, not really. The addon has no graphical elements; it simply modifies the behavior of the chat frames, and modifies the appearance of text only very slightly. The description on this page lists everything it does... there's really nothing to show, unless you're actually unable to visualize how shortening [2. Trade] into [T] would look, or how the chat frame would look without the arrow buttons next to it...

Do you have "save name class colors" enabled? If so it's going to save colors for every name you get a class color for, forever, and that's going to add up into a very large database. I don't use this option myself, as I think it's completely unnecessary, but added it due to many many requests and very little additional code. Toggling this option off and then back on will reset the database of saved names.

If you don't have this option enabled, I have no idea why it would use this much memory. Right now it's using 132 KiB of memory on my machine, with mostly default settings.

High memory usage

Phanx Chat has by far the highest memory usage of all my mods. Right now it uses 6.92 MB and the next biggest uses only 1 MB.
How is that possible? Did I turn on an option that uses so much memory?

Ah. Well, that would definitely be a bug, which I wouldn't have discovered myself since I haven't entered a battleground in probably about a year. I'll look into it.

Hmm, I should clarify

When seeing battleground chat (from memory):

[bob-someServer]: Hey guys.

The "bob-someServer" part is never coloured according to class. No biggie if it's not intended to be in Phanxchat (I left Prat because of over-the-top feature creep, but I digress), but if anyone knows of an additional mod that handles this, that's fine too.

*EDIT: I see colours for names of folks on the same server, just not ones on different servers.

Sorry for the confusion/lack of explanation the first time.

I've been playing... and wouldn't you know it... hasn't happened again! When it did occur, it was always in [General 1]. Never a private message, never party, nor spatial. Im not sure what other mod could cause it, since no other mod I have enabled is for chat. I will keep an eye out though and do what you say. I just thought it may be this mod, as it never happened before I downloaded this mod and installed it. Then again... it never happened before 2.2.0 ... sooooo could be a blizzard thing. I will keep you posted!

Let me know if you encounter the issue again. If you do, try to get a screenshot, and then disable PhanxChat and try to get the same person to message you again. At this point my thought is that the bug isn't caused by my addon, since text wrapping is handled entirely by Blizzard's code and PhanxChat doesn't touch that.

Are you using any custom fonts? Does the problem still happen when you disable them?

Does the problem still happen if you resizes your chat frame?

If you can consistently reproduce the issue (i.e. it happens every time Břřty says anything), disable PhanxChat entirely, and then get Břřty to say something to you that would normally wrap to multiple lines. Does the problem still happen?
No custom fonts.

No other chat window mods (other than ChatSounds, which was off when this occurred).

I've only moved the chat frame closer to the left edge (since I disabled those scrollbuttons), not resized.

I will try, but the frequency of people talking in General with weird names isn't often... and all of the last couple days I didnt see any linewrap issues, but then I didn't see anyone with goofy names speaking. I will try to prod some more when I am on to see if I can get it going. Its one of ~those bugs~ that dont happen so often its easy to trace it down

Everynow and then I'm seeing a weird linewrap issue, when a new line starts on the far right end of a previous line and then continues to wrap.

Noticed this in "1 General" viewing.

Some settings i have that may be relevant:
names brackets: none
scroll: on
channels short: off
channels shortnames: off

The only thing I can see in the text that sort of looks the same when it happens, is always when a certain person talks... and seems like if that persons name has Mac-Option-Chars in the name, like: Břřty or José.

Sorry, I dont have more info on the glitch...
