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

I think I can do it, just need a few spare time.

[1][Timestamp]The Stuff I Say
It's not my addon. It does nothing more than adding the timestamp in front of the line. Similar stuff I've been seeing from Prat for example, but in this particoular case I have no idea what that's due to, sorry.

Just grabbed this and was wondering is there a way you can add an option to make the timestamps a uniform color. what I mean is I want my timestamp colors to be grey and not change with each channel color.

The option is already here:

/cts format |cFFFF0000[%H:%M:%s]|r

This way it will always stay grey. It was also stated in the addon descriptions.

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 Perhaps you haven't checked off "load out of date AddOns"?

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"...)
