Picking up the idea and materializing the addon, maintaining through years after quitting WoW

3.4.5.1
* prevent chatevents interfering while mouse is hovering over the chatframe

3.4.5
* fixup boolean error

3.4.4
* config: cleanup events removed from game and update reference list per link

3.4.3
* refix frozen chat window on login by direct calls of Animate() instead of unpdateHeight()
* respect MaximizeCombatLog on floating combatlog and handle docking/dedocking it

3.4.2.2
* fix error on chatevent when chatframe is not in config

3.4.2.1
* fix minimizing/maximizing ALL windows on mouseover

3.4.2
* config is now an own file, instead of being part of core.lua
this allows for copying/backing up your config between updates
* swept through code and used chatframes directly instead of frames tucked on the chatframes
* fixed a bug where config setting would be ignored for certain chat events (eg. only ChatFrame1 for "say" is set, but ChatFrame3 and ChatFrame4 would have been triggered)

3.4.1
* fixed "frozen" chat window on login

3.4
* crude legion update

3.3.2
* try to minimize chat on load
* Re-introduce ChatFrame:UpdateHeight() to manually update the height
* fixed a possible error with the chat-tabs

3.3.1
* fixed chat height of messages spanning multiple lines

3.3
*fixes for 3.3.5
*simpler event handling, including battle.net-events

3.2
*Prevent chat from resizing when moving it around

3.1
*TOC bump
*Added new PartyLeader event to the eventlist

3.0
* Another rewrite
* Chicchai now uses less CPU time
* You can define how many lines you'd like to see in minimized mode
* docked chatframes are now handled properly
* fixed chat frame flickering happening sometimes on mouseover
* you can define how long you should hover the frame until it maximizes
* chatframes can stay maximized for a defined time before minimizing on mouseleave
* you can configure on which custom channels the chatframe maximizes

2.0
*Core rewritten
*You are now able to manage the chatframes you want to be affected (like chatframe 5, 6, 8, and so on)
*TOC bump

1.1
*A few improvements
*Now Updates when the Chat Window is too small or big

1.0.1
*Added Option, that the Chat will stay open for a defined time after mouseover

Xarl A Warpwood Thunder Caller Forum posts: 94 File comments: 224 Uploads: 1	I am confused to be honest. I installed the addon and on Window 1 where i have only my Area Chat it maxi and minimizes but when i switch to Trade it dont move a bit and even that it has these settings... Code: -- Modify this to maximize only on special channels -- comment/remove it to react on all channels local channelNumbers = { [1] = true, [2] = true, [3] = true, } I did remove them like it says but then not even Area Chat will open up then. Thing is i have a Guild Chat window on the other Side and it did not even touch it and i am not sure what to change on the Code. Anybody that can help ? Thanks in advance __________________

Shameless self-promotion here: I would suggest taking a look at my LibFx-1.1 which is written to simplify a lot of the animating stuff (sliding, fading and so on) - you can find a detailed documentation on the page including a small example. __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!

xConStruct A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 199 File comments: 374 Uploads: 18	Yep, that's because Blizz stores the chat height / width anew on every logout / reloadUI and there is no way to prevent this. But it should be no problem to unlock the chatwindow and resize it back to your preferred size. But Chicchai shouldn't touch your complete layout other than the chat-height and this only on defined frames. __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!

Kouryu A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	freak error ? I'm a new user, like the addon so a far. Encountered a small problem, after installing the addon and then disabling the addon my main chat window was still 1 line. After uninstalling the addon main chat window was still 1 line. Resetting the chat windows fixed the problem but i was just wondering is that normal occurrence with the addon ? A couple side notes I have one additional chat window setup for guild chat and also i had not configured the addon in anyway before disabling/uninstalling it. Not a big issue just a pain to setup my chat windows again after reseting them

fuqinsim A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 23 Uploads: 0	hmm.., I tried your bit of code to maximize the combatlog frame in combat and minimize when OOC but i receive the following error when entering combat: [2009/08/27 23:59:02-1694-x1]: Chicchai-3.0\core.lua:184: attempt to call method 'Maximize' (a nil value) and this one leaving combat: [2009/08/27 23:59:16-1694-x1]: Chicchai-3.0\core.lua:186: attempt to call method 'Minimize' (a nil value) really liking the addon , this little feature would be nice if i could get it to work. I got the code above that to work(to maximize on editbox open) and i know enough t oge taround well with LUA. Thanks for your time and effort :0]

Re: multiple chat windows

Originally posted by samhain_whitefox
umm, oki, here's the thing, I want multiple chat windows, you know, one window for says, general chat and the combat log, and another SEPERATE window that has different windows in it, one for guild, party/raid, and whispers. I know how to seperate the windows, what I can't figure out is how to put the windows together once they're seperated from the main?

anyone help?

Just drag one chatframe onto another, like docking one chattab, to the other.
If you have Fane or anything other installed you may consider disabling it for an easier docking.
But i don't know how it is doing it with fane, as i have only one Chat Window with 2 Tabs -> Standart :P

For further help i recomment the Official UI Forums, as the Chat Windowbehavor isn't affected by Chicchai in any way (except Minimizing/Maximizing) and my english isn't the best, sry
