PhanxChat

Version: 4.3.3.147

by: Phanx, Akkorian

PhanxChat removes chat frame clutter and adds some functionality.

Shortens chat channel names
Shortens cross-realm character names and Real ID player names
Replaces Real ID player names with WoW character names
Enables arrow keys without the Alt key
Enables resizing chat frames by their edges
Enables sticky behavior for all channels
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

Usage

Type “/pchat” for options, or find them in the Interface Options.
Type “/pchat clear” 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why can’t I click on chat tabs when the Move Edit Box option is enabled?
A: Since WoW 3.3.5, the edit box remains clickable even when hidden. You can disable this behavior by setting the Chat Style option to “Classic” under Interface Options > Game > Social.

Q: What are “sticky” channels?
A: If a channel is sticky, then after you type into it, the edit box will open to the same chat type again, rather than making you type “/g” or “/ra” again.

Q: Will you add <insert feature here>?
A: See the “Feature Requests” section further down this page.

Q: It doesn’t work! or It’s giving me errors!
A: See the “Bug Reports” section further down this page.

Version 3.3.5.94

Upgraded beta series to release status; see the beta series changelogs below for details on what was changed since the previous release version.
You should delete your previously installed version of PhanxChat before installing this version. Otherwise, you’ll end up with unused files laying around on your hard drive.
Your old settings will not be converted. You may want to delete your old saved variables file before installing this version. Otherwise, you’ll end up with unused data in your saved variables.

Version 3.3.5.93-beta

Fixed custom abbreviations for numbered channel names
Added filtering of "changed channel" messages

Version 3.3.5.91-beta

Fixed the Fade Time option

Version 3.3.5.90-beta

Fixed non-numbered channel links (eg. Guild, Party) ... again

Version 3.3.5.89-beta

Significantly improved performance when using the Shorten Channel Names option
Fixed "Dungeon Guide" not being abbreviated
Added advanced configuration support for specifying abbreviations for custom channels

Version 3.3.5.86-beta

Fixed non-numbered channel links (eg. Guild, Party)

Version 3.3.5.85-beta

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.
This is a full rewrite of PhanxChat. It is now semi-modular, so it should be much easier for me to maintain. The old single-file organization was becoming quite unwieldy.
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 <insert adjective here> people who never read patch notes or change logs.
Advanced Configuration has been revamped. Options relevant to individual modules are in the appropriate module file, not in the Core file.
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 report: your locale (eg. "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 3.3.5.80

Added message processing for Real ID whispers
Fixed tell-target functionality to work for cross-realm players
Fixed repeat-message filtering to actually respect the line threshold
Fixed visual handling of temporary frames
Fixed several typo-related errors
Updated configuration

Version 3.3.5.73

Fixed a bug preveing the new Battle.net "toast" window from being shown
Fixed a bug relating to sticky channel selection

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.

Version 3.3.3.68

Fixed an bug that caused the player’s own repeated messages to be hidden

Version 3.3.3.67-beta

Fixed an error that caused tab flashing to not always be disabled

Version 3.3.3.66-beta

Fixed an error caused by a misnamed variable
Added missing config library

Version 3.3.3.64-beta

The "Dungeon Guide" title is now abbreviated
Repeat-message suppression is now case-insensitive and ignores spaces
The configuration panel has been rearranged, and the wording of several options improved
Translations for all locales need to be reviewed

Version 3.3.0.60

Repeat message suppression now looks at the last 15 lines (up from 10)
Fixed repeat message suppression option

Version 3.3.0.57

Update for WoW 3.3

Version 3.2.0.53

Added checks to prevent errors caused by other addons that haven’t been updated for 3.2, because I’m tired of hearing about them
Fixed suppression options again
Changed from hardcoded class name translations to new FillLocalizedClassList API

Version 3.2.0.51

Updated class coloring for WoW 3.2
PhanxChat’s class color option now only colors player names in message types that are not colored by the default UI. To enable class coloring in other message types, use the default UI’s chat options window and enable the option for every message type you want class coloring for.
If your locale has not yet patched to 3.2, do not update yet!

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 1163 File comments: 1264 Uploads: 24	This is a bug in Blizzard's taint reporting system, and has nothing to do with PhanxChat. If you disable PhanxChat, it will just blame some other addon. PhanxChat does not touch any part of the glyph frame, or use/hook any functions related to glyphs. If you search various forums, you will find dozens of threads about this issue, naming dozens of addons, and none with any real explanations or solutions. Basically, Blizzard's code is ridiculously susceptible to taint, and ridiculously terrible at identifying the actual source of taint. Most likely, some addon is touching something that is touched by another addon that is also touching something that is touched by a third addon that is also touching something that PhanxChat is touching, so WoW thinks PhanxChat is responsible for everything that's touching anything. There's not really anything I can do about it, unfortunately. ___ Last edited by Phanx : 01-06-12 at 12:38 AM.

I get the option to Ignore/Disable the addon. The popup doesn't appear until after clicking "Yes" to confirm removal or when clicking the glyph into the slot.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 1163 File comments: 1264 Uploads: 24	I don't use RealID (though it looks like Blizzard might be working on a more Steam-like system, since last time I logged into the Battle.net website it gave me an option to create a "BattleTag" alias) and Akkorian isn't playing currently, so I have no way to test the RealID features, but I'll see what I can do. Most likely Blizzard decided to add new return values in the middle of the list again.

Westieitsew A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 7 Uploads: 0	Real ID issues I can confirm that the error still occurs with shift clicking a real-id friend. But my main issue has been the shortening real id names feature. I spent a several hours trying to resolve the issue to no avail. All the other functions appear to work, but the shortening of real id names. I have tested it without any other mods, deleted the wtf and interface folder, and still had no luck. Code: bnName = PhanxChat.bnShortNames[bnID] or bnName I had the PhanxChat.bnShortNames[bnID] value you print out, and every time it would result in "nil." I had checked the file that stores the options values, shorten the names is enabled. Not sure if I am missing something or? Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated. -Fawa

I am receiving an error when shift-clicking a realID name. I edited two lines to promote anonymity, they are replaced in caps with a description of what was there.

This is occurring with version 4.2.2.136 on live WoW.

Hi, Phanx ty for the great mod

If you don't mind I'd like to reply to this:

I just did something like what you're asking by adding this

Code:

hooksecurefunc("ChatEdit_OnShow", function(self)
	
	local edtbx = self:GetName()

    _G[edtbx.."Left"]:Hide()
    _G[edtbx.."Right"]:Hide()
    _G[edtbx.."Mid"]:Hide()
    _G[edtbx.."FocusLeft"]:SetTexture(nil)
    _G[edtbx.."FocusRight"]:SetTexture(nil)
    _G[edtbx.."FocusMid"]:SetTexture(nil)
	
end)

inside PhanxChat\Cora.lua; paste it just under the other hooksecurefunc to remove completely the chateditbox border.
If you want to play around with the textures you can find a ChatFrameEditBoxTemplate in the file FrameXML\ChatFrame.xml (you can google it)

Spiderkeg A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 13 File comments: 190 Uploads: 0	Sticky Tooltips? I'm running into an issue where the tooltip of any chat tab remains stuck on the screen until I hover over another item that has a tooltip. An annoying issue when paired with a tooltip mod. However, with a clean WTF and no addons, the tooltip doesn't stick by default but seems to stick when I load up PhanxChat. Can anyone else confirm?

Maybe just a colored outline of the channel color? I'm not sure if it's possible or not without a ton of work.
