Cellular

Version: 10.0.001

by: totalpackage, drjebus, Sugarwing

Cellular is an instant messenger mod (for only whispers) based on the functionality of an old version of ForgottenChat.

YouTube Intro

Features:

Many appearance options
History log
A way to copy text
Reuse of the default chat editbox
Whispers shown in separate windows or a tab-based single window
Should work with most spam filter mods
...and other basic IM features
!! New !! Language support for enUS / enGB and deDE

How to Use:

"/cellular", check Interface Options->AddOns, or right-click a window for options
Left-click a window to toggle the editbox
Left-click a tab to activate it
Shift-left-click and drag a window to move
Shift-left-click and drag bottom-right corner to resize
Right-click a tab for show/close/options dropdown
Middle-click a tab to close
Hold ctrl and close any window/tab to quick remove from history
Several convenient buttons (some require shift clicking for confirmation reasons)

Warnings:

If you have history enabled and notice that Cellular is using a lot of memory, you should cleanup your history entries using Cellular's history options.
If you're experiencing crashing due to memory errors, disable and clear your history.
If you cherish your history, you can back up the saved variables file and then delete it. You can view it in any text editor later. The location of the saved variables file is here:
...\WTF\Account\<Account Name>\<Server Name>\<Character Name>\SavedVariables\Cellular.lua

BNet/RealID ~fix~

If you're referring to the error, "no player named <realid friend>", or whatever, I think I have the answer to your problems if you don't mind editing the file yourself.

Open core.lua in the Cellular folder (.\Interface\AddOns\Cellular\core.lua), and line 302 should look something like:

Code:

local sw = _G.SLASH_WHISPER1.." "

Change it so it looks like this:

Code:

local sw = _G.SLASH_SMART_WHISPER1.." "

You can edit the file while WoW is open, then just /reload the UI. If you still have problems afterwards, let me know.

I'll implement this and release the update today. I cannot test. It would suck if that was the solution, but you'll be awesome for finding it!

BIG thanks to all who helped fix it ... there is no better addon to whisper. mfg altelulex

After that all the errors and problems were gone. For me it's the best chat addon out there, THANKS totalpackage! Last edited by thw24 : 09-20-12 at 10:17 AM.

Rosalyne A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 49 Uploads: 0	So I was still having the issue with R not working to respond to messages, even with the B.net fix. I went into WoW's keybindings menu and R was bound to "chat reply", I bound R to "re-whisper" instead and it seems to be working as it should now. I have no idea what caused this, because with R being bound to "chat reply", it worked fine with WIM and the default UI (eww) but not Cellular. But anyway, so far so good!

Hey there, I'm going to guess you have "Disable Editbox Move" checked under Options>Behavior, right? If that's the case, this issue is due to what looks to be recent changes between handling whispers and bnet responses. In this particular case, line 330 of core.lua is hard-coded to reply via whisper, which does not work with bnet now. If you are not fluent in LUA, I'd recommend waiting until the author can fix the issue and release an update. That being said...

Line 330 should look like something like this right now:

Code:

editBox:SetAttribute("chatType", "WHISPER");

What looks to be the proper fix for this issue is to replace the block of code on lines 330 to 335 with the following:

Code:

local lastTell, lastTellType = ChatEdit_GetLastTellTarget();
if ( lastTell ) then
	editBox:SetAttribute("chatType", lastTellType);
	editBox:SetAttribute("tellTarget", tab.name)
	ChatEdit_UpdateHeader(editBox)
	if editBox ~= ChatEdit_GetActiveWindow() then
		ChatFrame_OpenChat("")
	end
end

The reason switching to re-whisper probably worked is because Cellular only appears to hook the "ChatFrame_ReplyTell()" function, not "ChatFrame_ReplyTell2()", which impacts re-whispering.

I apologize for the verbose answer, but that's just how I am wired. If you run into further issues, please reply back with more details!

Since it seems nothing other than date update has happened, I'm assuming nothing has changed in Cellular and it's very low priority for Prat's author (and apparently Cellular's too), but it is extremely frustrating for those who love using both. This was the most frustrating experience I've ever had with an addon author basically telling us too bad for people using both and doing nothing about it.

There is a workaround, but you lose part of Prat's functionality to make it work and if you've moved your editbox, it'll be going back to the default location. Even if you're not using Prat you still can't use the "Disable Editbox Move" checkbox as once it's checked the trouble variable is created. If you go to the next page of comments and find the one made by me on 01-05-2011, 05:45 AM there's a full explanation, but here's the summary:

- "Disable EditBox Move" module of Cellular is breaking responding to tells.
- If the "noattach" variable is deleted from the Cellular.lua Saved Variables, it will work fine.
- Unless you have the "Editbox" module of Prat enabled as well, however the error seems to lie in Cellular.

To make it work without Prat:
1) Don't ever touch the "Disable EditBox Move" option
2) Delete the "noattach" variable from the Cellular.lua

So to make it work with Prat:
1) Disable "Disable EditBox Move" if it is enabled
2) Delete the "noattach" variable from the Cellular.lua
3) Disable the "Editbox" module from Prat.

I don't use Prat so I really can't test this issue, but I'd like for you guys to try the code I posted in my post below. If it still persists, let me know, and I will install Prat.

Basically, as I stated, the reason people are unable to respond to tells when using "Disable Editbox Move" and Cellular, is because it hooks the ChatFrame_ReplyTell(), but hard-codes the chatType to WHISPER, instead of checking whether it should be WHISPER or BN_WHISPER.

Hello, thank you for your fix! I am trying it out right now and it appears to be working! Will report back if anything unexpected happens later on.
