Cellular  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 10.0.001
by: totalpackage, drjebus, Sugarwing

Cellular is an instant messenger mod (for only whispers) based on the functionality of an old version of ForgottenChat.

YouTube Intro



Features:

  • Many appearance options
  • History log
  • A way to copy text
  • Reuse of the default chat editbox
  • Whispers shown in separate windows or a tab-based single window
  • Should work with most spam filter mods
  • ...and other basic IM features
  • !! New !! Language support for enUS / enGB and deDE


How to Use:
  • "/cellular", check Interface Options->AddOns, or right-click a window for options
  • Left-click a window to toggle the editbox
  • Left-click a tab to activate it
  • Shift-left-click and drag a window to move
  • Shift-left-click and drag bottom-right corner to resize
  • Right-click a tab for show/close/options dropdown
  • Middle-click a tab to close
  • Hold ctrl and close any window/tab to quick remove from history
  • Several convenient buttons (some require shift clicking for confirmation reasons)


Warnings:
  • If you have history enabled and notice that Cellular is using a lot of memory, you should cleanup your history entries using Cellular's history options.
  • If you're experiencing crashing due to memory errors, disable and clear your history.
  • If you cherish your history, you can back up the saved variables file and then delete it. You can view it in any text editor later. The location of the saved variables file is here:
    ...\WTF\Account\<Account Name>\<Server Name>\<Character Name>\SavedVariables\Cellular.lua

If i disable Cellular there's no problems.. try disabling anything else and no good.

i use:
Arkinventory, Atlasloot Enhanced, Bartender4, Chatter, Chinchilla, DBM, Omen Threat Meter, OmniCC, Pitbull 3, Recount, Wardrobe..

i have kinda put up with this for last couple of months hoping each version that came out would fix it.. i really love this mod and don't wanna part with it. Currently using the very latest 3.1.002.
Every since the new patch I get the same issue. I was hoping that your post would be addressed somehow but it hasn't yet. I love using Cellular and I am not fond of WIM so I basically am without a chat mod atm. I can load Cellular as my only addon and still get crashes whenever I attempt to log into a toon. I haven't had any troubles at all until 3.2. I have wiped my addons and WTF/cache and always get this error when Cellular is enabled.

This issue is present in Cellular for a long time, it's just a one which author refuses to acknowledge. i reported this issue along with other people around post from 03-26-2009 at 01:39 PM.

Author will now argue in his unprofessional manner as he did then, and his addon will keep crashing your wow. You'll disable Cellular, crashing will go away and you will be still told by author it's not Cellular's fault.

My solution is to use WIM with Skinner, which makes it look nearly as neat as Cellular, and most importantly, does not crash your game.

Making certain keywords like invite not pop a window.

Hi totalpackage, is there any way to make words you specify not open a chat window?
It can be extremely spammy when people whisper you with an invite keyword and you pretty much lose any real whispers during that time.


Thanks.

And the issue has been examined for weeks after those reports. I worked with people thru PMs and fix the error for them, I've added several history features, and I've provided instructions on the addon description page on ways to manage your history. I released a major update back in April and inform users of the history usage, and the error rarely occurs anymore. Still, the several people who still have this issue are using massive mods such as Recount, Pitbull, QuestHelper, etc, and are not confirming that running Cellular by itself is causing those errors. I cannot account for all the user specs and addon usage.

And please quote what I've said that's unprofessional. From what I've seen, I fulfilled one of your requests, you suddenly get the critical error, and then I explained the situation. Plus this is not a business.

If you're using an auto-invite mod, then it should be that mod handling the chat filters. Cellular is compatible with the universal chat filter provided by Blizzard.

Not enough storage problem.

I'm sorry totalpackage, but Sammael is right. The problem comes from cellular... I tried disabling every addon I have 1 by 1, and finally when I disabled cellular the error stops popping up.

I really hope you'll fix it, since I absolutely love this addon. WIM doesn't 'feel' the same.

I'm not saying that Cellular is not causing it; I'm trying to get proof that Cellular is getting it all by itself (not in combination with other mods). In other words, it's not an addon conflict. I don't know what's so hard about running Cellular by itself (alone, just Cellular, one mod) and then see if you get the error. Nobody since the first bug report ever tried.

Also, how can people like a mod if it's crashing their computer? How did they get a chance to try it in the first place? Again, that makes me think that they're just piling on the chat history and not managing it. History got too big and crashed the game. Wipe, clean, and/or disable your history.

At one point this wasn't an issue and I could use the addon.

I have tried clearing the history/cache/saved variables. Also disabled history. Log in once and things are fine, but if I log out and change toons or log back in to same toon I get a crash.

Make sure you hold shift when clicking to clear/delete history. I should make that more intuitive.

Would anyone tell me how much memory this addon uses?
I'm using WIM for the moment but its consuming too much memory for just a simple "instant messenger" imo about 1.5-1.7Mb

Very little. Under a MB ... it only adds up if you have history enabled and if the history builds up after however many days.

According to my readings, 81K (or .081M) without history.

Cellular blocking some tells?

Hey guys/TP,

For starters, great mod. Love it to pieces. My only concern is something which is a pretty massive issue sadly.

For some strange reason, every now and again Cellular seems to just not receive tells I receive from individual people. They can see my tells however I cant see theres. This has happened to mw on two seperate occasions for a persisting amount of time and I'm unsure of the cause and subsequently, unsure how to fix it. I beleive the first time the problem just went away or an addon was updated I'm not sure.

Most recently it was blocking tells from my girlfriend on one of her toons and even that was intermittent. Sometimes it would, other times it wouldnt. I figured the obvious cause might be chat history too full however I went to the file and completely cleared my entire history so it can't be that.

Any ideas on the cause of this and subsequently how I can fix this? I can get used to default tells and WIM is just so god awful.

It may be another mod filtering your whispers since Cellular is compatible with the universal chat filter accessible to all mods.

Thought about that hjowever because its random i can't really replicate it to find out for certain. WIM doesnt seem to be affected by it however which makes it strange.
