Elephant

Elephant logs the chat for you in the background. It saves the WHISPERS, RAID, BATTLEGROUND, PARTY, SAY, YELL, OFFICER and GUILD chats separately, but also all general chats (General, Trade, LocalDefense, ...), custom chats you are currently on, loots, system messages (auctions, rolls, server going down, ...) and achievements. When you want to read the logs, simply click on the Elephant icon in the FuBar (or type /elephant toggle), then choose one of the chat icon on the right. You can also bind a key to pop up the addon.

You can easily copy the logs to another application by using the copy window. A BBCode feature is also included, letting you copy/paste a chat with colors in a very quick and simple way to your favourite forum.

This is THE AddOn that you should install if you want to manage hell tells or simply go AFK for a few minutes. It is also perfectly designed for Guild Leaders, Officers and Raid Leaders particularly because it restores the chats when you get disconnected.

*New* main features
* Logs the chats in the background.
* Logs up to 1000 lines for each chat! (Blizzard's default is 161 lines for evertything)
* Restores the chats at login after you logged out or got disconnected.
* Display the chats separately in their own colours, or using the Prat configuration if you have it installed.
* Copy the chat and paste it in other applications (BBCode supported!).
* Save the chats and the loot/system/achievement log in two different files on your computer.

Other features:
* Enable/disable logging for each chat.
* Movable frame.
* Slash commands.
* Bind a key to toggle Elephant.
* Enable or disable logging by default when you join a new channel.
* Objects in the main window are displayed in their proper color and are clickable.
* Player names in the main window are clickable.
* Easily clear the logs separately or all at the same time.
* Force the timestamp to be logged when Prat formatting is used (so you can have two different displays for your chat and the logs).

Also, an option to put /rolls into the loot chat window would be excellent. Clickable tradeskill links would be nice too. Though I doubt it would be easy to code into the mod. Overall, a great addon. Thank you very much for your hard work in the WoW addon community. PS. Curse sucks, can't even post a comment. Tried in FF and IE.

xtoq A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 24 File comments: 482 Uploads: 1	Question: where do I turn off the timestamps? I don't care about them. I use Prat, and I don't have timestamps turned on in Prat either. I've looked in the options, but its prolly in the lua, if you could point me to the right place that would be great. Also, even though I've never changed it, it only seems to copy 250 lines of any of the chats I'm logging. Is the option to change that in the lua too and if so, where? In the lua on line 72 is the section for log size, and the max log size is 1000 lines, but all my logs in Elephant in-game say "201/250" or "4/250" lines.

pb_ee1 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 16 Uploads: 2	Thanks @Snave & Nastarria: Thanks for the bug report. I note it. I'll look into it asap (I'm using Prat too). @Snave: Simply right-click-and-drag the arrow and you should be able to move it. @Nastarria: Try looking for a WoWChat.txt or a WoWChatLog.txt file (or something similar) in the Logs folder. The logging is made by WoW, cannot be controlled by Elephant (thus everything or nothing) and the format cannot be changed as well.

Snave A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 9 Uploads: 0	Really handy addon, thanks a lot for your time developing it. I have the same problem when i enable the prat option, the only reason i want to use it really is to colour names by class but really that's not the end of the world. One suggestion i have would be if you could make the button (from the show button option) moveable? At the moment i have the other chat buttons hidden and having a arrow in the right middle of my chat is a little out of place. I lied when i said one suggestion, another one would to incorporate a "clear all" option when you right click the addon rather than having to clear each window one by one, if you could add right click functionality to the chat box button also that would be sexual. Thanks again!

2: The copy window is also limited in size, since it is not able to contain an unlimited number of characters (UI limitation). So you'll have to copy everything in more than one step by scrolling into the logs and displaying the copy window each time.

3: D'oh. Never happened. Maybe an interference of another addon. Did you try to reset all settings just to see if it fixes the problem?

hmmm... I mustn't have the option enabled then... nothing in wow/logs to do with elephant.

2: Ahh, Makes sence.

3: Well, it dosn't seem to do it now (odd)... One thing I do remember doing though, but It may have been something diffrent, is I turned on Prat Format (Or what ever the Prat option is) then the tripling effect happened, but I turned it off and hasn't happened... I'll try turning it back on and let you know if it happens again.

and thanks for the Mod, It's really handy...

Also, the Log that is saved to the computer, is it in BB code or is it like it is in game, minus colour?

EDIT:
It's the Prat option that make the text double/triple (It was just doubled today)

Re: The coloring of custom channels is wrong

Here is my not-so-pretty fix (in Core-Interface.lua)

Code:

else typeInfo = "CHANNEL1" local chlist = { GetChannelList() } local chindex,chname local t = {} for i,v in ipairs(chlist) do if math.fmod(i,2) == 1 then chindex = v else -- math.fmod(i,2) == 0 chname = v t[chindex] = chname end end for k,v in pairs(t) do if string.lower(v) == string.lower(self.db.char.logs[self.db.char.currentlogindex].name) then typeInfo = "CHANNEL" .. k break end end

Fixed in next beta release (should be before end of week).

I really like this addon, but I seem to be having some issues.

1: dose this addon make a log readable outside of the game? if so, where can it be located? and dose it only log the channels You tell it to? (IE just guild and Officer channels.)

2: With the Copy, I couldn't copy the full days chat, even though it is under the line limit.

3: All the lines are done in 3 last time I looked... as in, everything would be tripled.

... you get the idea...

I really love this addon, it helps... or would help me with being an officer in my guild...
Thanks.
