Version: v10.9, Classic: v10.9

by: Xruptor [More]

This is my personal modifications to the default blizzard chat frames. I really didn't want something as heavy as Prat installed to do a few things I needed. So I hand coded my own chat modifications.

I'm probably not going to make any major updates. However, if you have suggestions I may take it into consideration.

What the mod gives you:

Mousewheel control for scrolling

Move the chat frame to the edges of the screen.

Hold CTRL while using the mousewheel to scroll ridiculously fast.

Hold ALT while using the mousewheel to scroll to the top or bottom of the chat window.

Automatically enables class colors on all chat windows and channels.

Option to hide/show the social chat buttons.

Option to hide/show the chat scroll buttons.

Option to enable/disable channel short names.

Option to move the edit box to the top or bottom.

Option to show or hide the chat tabs. (Will still show when you mouse over the chat frame.)

Enables stick channels for the following channels

Say
Party
Raid
Guild
Officer
Whisper
Channel

Removes the ALT key press requirement to move around in the edit box. You can now move just using the arrow keys.

Saves up to the last 40 lines you have typed in the edit box. You can use the UP and DOWN keys to navigate the history when the edit box is opened.

Removes the annoying Blizzard default alpha borders around the edit box when it's not being used. The borders will still show though when you use it and hide again when you are done.

Removes the guild loot gold messages and replaces them with the original ones.

Option to enable a Copy Chat Button, which will allow you to copy as much text from chat as you like.

Option to enable additional Player coloring in chat and even add Player Levels to their names.

Has built in URL support. Clickable URL links in the chat window.

Note: Timestamps were not included because Blizzard already implemented this feature into the client.
Options -> Interface -> Social -> Chat Timestamps

Slash Commands:

/xanchat social -- toggles the chat social buttons (ON/OFF)
/xanchat scroll -- toggles the chat scroll buttons (ON/OFF)
/xanchat shortnames -- toggles channel short names (ON/OFF)
/xanchat editbox -- toggles the edit box to show (TOP/BOTTOM)
/xanchat tabs -- toggles the chat tabs (ON/OFF)
/xanchat shadow - toggles text shadows for chat fonts (ON/OFF)
/xanchat voice - toggles the Blizzard voice chat buttons (ON/OFF)

You can view Alpha Builds at my Github tracker.

Sorry the description is a bit off. What I meant to say is that it removes the default alpha borders that remain on the screen when your NOT using the editbox. The border will still show when the editbox is being used though.

I have no intentions of removing the editbox borders. However, I need to modify the description to be a bit more descriptive about that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Correct, heh I did say it was a temporary solution.

Mordekai03 A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 6 Uploads: 0	I really want to use this chat mod, but the one thing that's stopping me is that it doesn't overcome blizzards chat constraint system like other chat mods. I like to tuck my chat window in the far bottom left corner and I can't get it as close as I'd like.

allogator A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 11 Uploads: 1	Thank you for letting me finally stop using Prat when all I needed was what your mod provides. (And then some considering I now have shortened chan names :P ) I agree with the below poster though. I've got about half an inch of wasted space on the bottom of my screen now below the chat window. Not sure if that was there with Prat or not but if that kind of coding requires too much extra crap then I'm not worried about it. Considered timestamps, too?

I don't really comprehend what you two mean by the wasted space issue. If you could provide more details or a screenshot it would help.

Also Blizzard implemented Timestamps already. Look in your options menu it's there

Options -> Interface -> Social -> Chat Timestamps

That is as far down and left I can make it go. If I drag it to the right side I get the same effect. Not a big deal--i just hate free area in weird places.

I still can't seem to reproduce this issue. I must be doing something wrong. I can position the box just fine all the way at the bottom. It may have something to do with the editbox and it's current position.

It works until I log off and back on (or reloadui).
Could it have something to do with resolutions?

I'm at 1920x1200 on a 24".

No big deal in the meantime since I can just unlock it and shove it back down there.

Also, lol at your note about the timestamps.

It could have something to do with the resolutions. I'll look into it

I don't think I will implement something to change fonts. To be honest I don't really change it and since this is my custom modification, I doubt I will add something I wouldn't use. Sorry

There are other mods out there that let you change the font.

One of the major issues I have with it, is the fact that the fonts need to be placed in the addon to work. Since I want to make this addon as minimalistic as possible it would defeat the whole purpose if I start adding things like font files.

The blizzard client only really has like 3 or 4 fonts pre-installed. The rest have to be done manually by addons. Which is one of the reasons why Prat is so huge.
