Chicchai

Version: 3.3.2

by: Lolzen, xConStruct

Explanation
Chicchai is a little Addon that will Minimize the Chat after a few seconds.

What can Chicchai do?

Minimize the Chat after X seconds
Maximize Chat on mouseover
Animations (+how long should the Animation take)
Configurable on wich events (Guild, say, yell,...) the chat should maximize
Possibility to disable maximizing in combat
CombatLog will be maximized when selected (optional, default)
Lightweight
and more...

Other
Click for Previewvideo - lousy quality, but you'll get the idea.

Configuration
The configuration will be done through lua only. The .lua contains comments for inexperienced users.

You can call some functions if you want to handle maximizing/minimizing by yourself:

/script ChatFrame1:Maximize() - Maximize this chat frame
/script ChatFrame1:Minimize() - Minimize this chat frame
/script ChatFrame1:SetFrozen(true/false) - block maximizing/minimizing

Thanks to
Cargor (EU-Nozdormu)
I asked him if he would help me a bit, because im so a lazy bastard. So he started coding and POOF - Chicchai was like in my dreams, even better :3

Hope ya enjoy,
Lolzen

Jelly A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 20 File comments: 26 Uploads: 18	I do believe that I've fixed it. Or at least the errors that it was throwing at me with nothing but Tukui and Skada installed. I'll go addon-less a little later on today and play with it, to see if I can errors. If I don't then I'll push it to my girlfriend and perhaps guild to see if they get errors ... and if they don't, then I'll see about uploading it. [Will talk to Cairenn/Shirik/insert Admin here about what I would need to do in order to upload essentially someone else's addon] Just a heads up - it's being worked on.

I would like someone here to help me permanently minimize my chat window. It stays small (1 bar) until someone in my raid or party group talks and then it turns full size for about 3seconds. This is very distracting and I’d just like it to stay small until I say otherwise. What do?

It will.
But it will take some time, as things in RL are starting to overhelm me.
Maybe Cargor will have a time where he's bored, but i'm sure he will focus on other Addons first, so don't expect it soon.

Sorry for that.

I tried that before but got some errors. But after some help elsewhere i got the solution

The lua isn't exactly clear about how to add additional channels it only says

Code:

	},
	["ChatFrame3"] = true, -- "true" just makes this frame available for minimizing and registers it with Chicchai
}

Making it ab bit of guesswork how to add 4-5-6-7.

Code:

	},
	["ChatFrame3"] = true, -- "true" just makes this frame available for minimizing and registers it with Chicchai
}	
	["ChatFrame4"] = true,
}	
	["ChatFrame5"] = true,
}	
	["ChatFrame6"] = true,
}	
	["ChatFrame7"] = true,
}

Was the first that came to mind for me with my limited lua knowledge, and it was obviously wrong

Code:

	},
	["ChatFrame3"] = true, -- "true" just makes this frame available for minimizing and registers it with Chicchai
	["ChatFrame4"] = true,
	["ChatFrame5"] = true,
	["ChatFrame6"] = true,
	["ChatFrame7"] = true,
}

Being the correct way.

If 2 "extras" was in the original code it woul be a lot easier to figure out the proper way to add more

ie

Code:

	},
	["ChatFrame3"] = true, -- "true" just makes this frame available for minimizing and registers it with Chicchai
	["ChatFrame4"] = false,  -- some info text about what false setting does or something
}

Also getting an annoying error on reloads.

When first loding it works fine.
But after a /rl this error pops

Sorry for the wait. RL's been hectic to say the least. Here's what I'm currently using.

Edit: I haven't been able to get maximize on input to work yet, but I left the variable defined for the time being.

The CPU temperature issues I had are gone since a few weeks - thanks to thermal grease, never thought that it makes such a difference But since I switched to another linux distro (Kubuntu -> Arch btw) some days ago, my WoW keeps crashing with the infamous 132 / ACCESS_VIOLATION error as soon as I've entered my login credentials. But linux > WoW, so I rather quit WoW than switching to Windows Well, let's just hope that re-installing solves the issue. --- Make sure that ChatFrame2 is listed in the ChatFrameConfig (since Chicchai only modifies these frames). If you don't need any events for it, just write ["ChatFrame2"] = true MaximizeCombatLog needs to be deactivated, of course. If it still doesn't work, could you post your current Chiccai code please? (On pastey.net or similar). __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai! Last edited by xConStruct : 07-28-2010 at 12:42 PM.
