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

Thank you for caring

I've postponed the legion update long enough and and apologize for that. It almost would not have happened, but i'm glad i did it in the end, as i'm using it myself too.
It's gotten to a state where i think it's almost completely at it's former state, aside from getting wrapped messages read as one line. I more or less have a near fix, but as it isn't always working and really really wonky, so it's also far away from being fixed. On one side i really want someone to point me to the right direction, on the other hand it's kind of a fun challenge (even if it takes up a lot of coffee in the end).

Aside from that i think we did it.

I'm kinda struggling with this to be honest, but for now it's at least not throwing errors around anymore.
Ah okay, yeah I very briefly attempted to add the other chat frame but it didn't work.

Thanks for the quick reply and I hope you can achieve the things you have in mind for this addon, really liking the idea, reminds me a lot of the chat in Overwatch.

Sadly, Chicchai is useless to me personally as I do use the ElvUI chat, but I will keep my fingers crossed and hope that one day Chicchai will support ElvUI, until then I wish you the best of luck with Chicchai!
Thank you

Good news!
I just fixed a bug present in the current version, which brings me closer to my goal.
I'll upload it in a few minutes.
After i cracked how to read the height of wrapped lines (i'm on it..) i will look into that matter for sure. You may try your luck with that version in the meantime, if you wish to do so.

EDIT: Just testet it and all seems fine to me

https://youtu.be/MIf6DZYj7Mw this is how it looks when I have ElvUI and Chicchai running at the same time.

Oh and btw, I think I've found a bug in Chicchai related to whisper tabs.
Whenever someone whispers and I click their tab to see what they said, I am no longer able to swap tabs.
Whisper tabs is a built-in feature by default, and not added by any addons or such, so I'm assuming this is a bug.

legion update

i've uploaded a crude update. The basics work, however wrapped long lines aren't considered as "one" line anymore. i have yet to discover a new way to make it behave like before.

I may rewrite Chicchai in the future from ground up, but at the moment i wanted to provide you with something working. Sorry for the long delay, i had stopped playing WoW at the end of MoP, and enjoyed playing legion with friends & family, but didn't know how long i'd stick around.
