The Minimized Chat...

Chicchai

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
Configurable on wich events (Guild, say, yell,...) the chat should maximize
Posibility to disable maximizing on combat
CombatLog will be maximized when selected (optional)
and more...

Other
Click for Previewvideo - lousy quality, but you'll get the idea.
Uses about 6.8 kb

Configuration
The configuration will be done through lua only. Commented, so it will be easy, i think.

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

Re: Maximize on Editbox shown

then edit a line of CheckEnterLeave function :
elseif(self.wasOver and not MouseIsOver(self.Frame) and (not MaximizeOnInput or not ChatFrameEditBox:IsShown())) then

Very nice!

I found that I had to use:

if (MaximizeOnInput) then
local orgChatFrame_OpenChat = ChatFrame_OpenChat
ChatFrame_OpenChat = function(text, chatFrame)
self = chatFrame
if ( not self ) then
self = DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME;
end

if (not ChatFrameEditBox:IsShown()) then
Animate(self, UP, WaitAfterEnter)
end

orgChatFrame_OpenChat(text, chatFrame)
end

ChatFrameEditBox:SetScript('OnHide', function (self)
self = DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME
if (not ChatFrameEditBox:IsShown()) then
Animate(self, DOWN, WaitAfterLeave)
end
end);
end

in order for the box to hide itself after I typed something. All that's added is a logic edit in the 5th to last line.

In the meantime you can test this piece of code, place it wherever you want: Code: local combatMin = CreateFrame"Frame" combatMin:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event) if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then ChatFrame2:Maximize() else ChatFrame2:Minimize() end end) combatMin:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED") combatMin:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED") I didn't test it, though, so maybe it doesn't work __________________ « Homepage \| Subversion »

Kellindil A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 9 Uploads: 0	I love this one! Thx 4 the work! well...is there any way to maximize the combatlog window while combat and minimize it after that? I need this cus my combatlog window has been placed separately in the rightbuttom in my UI.

Cargor A Cyclonian Forum posts: 48 File comments: 163 Uploads: 13	The code looks good to me. Are you sure, you're using the right frame? I'm asking because ChatFrame2 is by default the combat log. __________________ « Homepage \| Subversion »

Tried to modify the lua file like this:

["ChatFrame2"] = {
-- "CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL",
"CHAT_MSG_WHISPER",
-- "CHAT_MSG_WHISPER_INFORM",
},

So chatframe 2 should maximize if there are whispers coming in/going out I guess, but nothing happened really. If I mouseover to the chatframe while that tab is active still no chatframe movement. What did I do wrong or I need to add something else too?

Code:

["ChatFrame3"] = {}

Otherwise Chicchai won't check for mouseover or events on them. It is planned in the next version to reenable these features on all frames.

H0PE A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 19 File comments: 204 Uploads: 1	problem with the addon In the past I had no issues with additional tabs on chat window. If I moved over to any of the tabs and started typing/or mouse-overed to these tabs chicchai nicely opened the window up. Recently mouse-over and/or entering text to the chat doesn't maximize my extra tabs, only if some text appears on the main tab. Could you please fix this? Details why I got additional tabs and I really need these: I've created 2 additional tabs on my chat window. I've put whispers on a separate tab (so I can kind of see all whispers and scroll up, withouth needing an addon to save log and stuff) and one for general channels so I can get rid of spammy text in big cities. Many thanks in advance!

Cargor A Cyclonian Forum posts: 48 File comments: 163 Uploads: 13	The original Chicchai doesn't do anything around chat frame background or borders. If you have a modified version of another author (e.g. an UI compilation), you should report the problem to him. __________________ « Homepage \| Subversion »

I'm having the same problem, all other tabs goes white exept for the general window. If I make a new tab the bgcolor is white and unchangeable. Disabling Chicchai "solves" this.
