Minimalist / Short Chat Output?

Moxie · 08-31-10, 11:51 AM

While browsing the forums, I've seen some UIs where the chat boxes caught my eye.

Instead of "you have looted item X" or "reputation with [faction] increased by Y" it will simply say "+ item X" or "+Y [faction]".

Is this a specific mod, or some form of string editing? If it's the latter, how would I go about doing it, as I think it looks far better than the default.

Thanks!

Hi, I answered your PM but I'll just post it here as well for anyone interested.

It's just a matter of editing the global strings, a list can be found here.

http://wowprogramming.com/utils/xmlb...balStrings.lua

e.g. LOOT_ITEM = "%s |cffffff00+|r %s"

Thanks for the help!

Since my brain is completely melted after reading up on Lua for hours / poring through existing code, where exactly would I go about putting that to get the end result?

Probably a silly question, but I need my hand held.

In any lua file, really. I've just made a seperate file for all my globals (I edited over a hundred of them) but you can put it anywhere.

This can prove to be very useful, thanks for posting it!

Moxie · 08-31-10, 01:59 PM

Thanks.

Gonna have a fiddle around and see what I need specifically after my eyes uncross.

Since this is already here....I'll ask instead of making a new thread.

I'm trying to change the gained experience text to something like:

+ 100 exp.

I found
YOU_XP_TEXT = "|c0000ffff+|r %s +%d";
YOU_GAIN_EXPERIENCE = "|c0000ffff+|r %s +%d";

but its not working ><

Anyone lend a hand? Thank you!

Pardon my necroing of a 5 month old thread, but I found it via the search function and this seems to be exactly what I'm trying to do. Alas, I am a slight lua noob and I don't understand what I'm not doing correctly.

I made a file called 'EditedGlobalStrings.lua' and put it as WTF/Account/[name]/EditedGlobalStrings.lua. I copied some of the lines from http://wowprogramming.com/utils/xmlb...balStrings.lua and altered them as I desired, but when I load Wowcraft and kill something for xp or loot some money, the changes are not showing up. All my closing semi-colons are still in place.

I tried moving the file to Interface/EditedGlobalStrings.lua, none of my changes seem to go into effect. I put it in Interface/Addons/Altoholic/EditedGlobalStrings.lua, since Alto is the one addon guaranteed to be enabled on every single character. The changes still do not seem to be having any effect.

So I am at the end of my attempts to guess what to do with this file. I tried googling to see if I could find anything, but I don't understand any of what I'm reading. I don't even know if half the results I got have anything to do with my question... If anyone is willing to help, I would be very appreciative. \o/

You need to tell WoW to load your file. This means that you either need to turn it into its own addon or add it to an already existing one. When you put it in the Altoholic folder, WoW still didn't know to load it. You have to tell the client this by also adding the name of the file to Altoholic's .toc (Table of Contents) file.

Oh! Aha! Now it works! Thank you so much. I know for someone good at lua, that's probably a micro-level of hand-holding, but I really appreciate the spelling-out X D. Hopefully other people will find this thread and be similarly educated.
