Attention!
I'm not going to be working on this for a while, as I'm not actively playing WoW right now. I will, however, update this as soon as possible! Promised!
Thanks to: Tekkub for teknicolor, which I used as a reference
This AddOn supports: Class Colors
Config type: Lua config. You will have to edit the core.lua file in the zChat folder to configurate this addon. There is no ingame config (yet!).
What is it?
zChat is a simple, lightweight chat AddOn. Made initially for personal use, it only has features I use and a few more.
Features
- Custom font size (default is 12, Blizzard default is 14)
- Time stamps
- Modification of the channel format (default is "CHANNEL|", Blizzard default is "[CHANNEL]")
- Color player names in class colors (support for Class Colors, see above)
- Change the appearance of the chat box
- Save chat history inbetween sessions
- Scroll through chat history without holding down your alt key
- Resize and slightly reposition the chat buttons
- Disable fading of old text
- Possibility to hide the buttons
- Possibility to move the chat box above the chat
- Tell target slash command: "/tt message"
- Own nickname highlight
- New: Unclamp the chat frames
- New: Hide the "friends" button
Notes
If the class of a player isn't known yet, the name will appear with a gray color.
Right-aligned chat buttons are not possible yet due to the button modifications. I will work around this later.
I suggest turning the chat options back to classic behavior while using zChat.
The current release is the initial 3.3.5 release. Not everything I promised is implented yet, I just released this early to enable usage with 3.3.5 again. Stay tuned!
There's a small config in the core.lua. You can do/change the following:
- Font size
- Time stamp color
- Time stamp format
- Channel format
- Player name format
- Player name no-class color
- Highlight color
- Hide the buttons
- Move the chat box above the chat
I'm open for suggestions, though implementation of new features should be worth it (no useless features).
Please report all bugs you can find
