Chat Timestamps  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.6
by: Skizo [More]

Description

This very tiny mod adds a customizable timestamp (defaulted to [HH:MM:SS] format) to every chat window there is.

Unlike some other addons for timestamps (just like Prat plugin for instance), this works perfectly with every Combat Log window aswell.


Commands

/cts format <timeformat> - sets timestamp format
/cts status - displays settings


Format Examples

Assuming time is 14:50:21
%H:%M:%S - Prints out "14:50:21"
%I:%M:%S %p - Prints out "02:50:21 pm"

More infos about time formats can be found here.

Note: Since version 1.5, two custom types have been added, #H and #I which replace %H and %I. Both of them are case sensitive and provide an easy way to have non padded hours (07 will become 7 and so on).


Color Codes

As of patch 1.4 you can now use color codes too. The format is the following:

|cAARRGGBB-text here-|r
AA = Alpha, RR = Red, GG = Green, BB = Blue

So, for example, if you want a standard 24h red timestamp, you would use |cFFFF0000[%H:%M:%s]|r as your format.

v1.06
- Fixed/Updated TOC

v1.05
- Fixed a typo which prevented custom format to reload properly upon login
- Added two custom formats #H and #I to remove the trailing zeroes from hours

v1.04
- Added escape codes after Silenia's request

Legion Prepatch

Still working as of 20 July 2016. It was giving an error yesterday when the patch dropped, but works fine again after disabling other outdated mods.

WoW's own chat timestamps still don't put time stamps on non-chat messages, nor anything in the combat log! Being able to quickly see the precise time something hit something and when something or someone died is essential for me. A timestamp on looting rare items like eggs is also a big help in figuring the next spawn.

So happy it still works!

Gotta Say...

I still prefer this over the game's built-in version because, among other things, wow doesn't put a time stamp on every event!

this (addon) feature is included since 3.3.5

thank you very much, your addon was very useful!

edit: well, ingame timestamps are still a bit buggy (no space between timestamp and the lines, not everything is "timestamped"...)

Still works fine for me. Perhaps you haven't checked off "load out of date AddOns"?
