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

Ah, this may be caused by more than one person whispering the exact same thing within a second. There's an old filter in Cellular for this due to boss mod whisper spamming. I'll just remove it since it should no longer be an issue with smaller raid members. I'll have it uploaded in a bit.

Hello, been using cellular for quite some time, I do quite love it but tonight I ran into a little problem, while little its quite problematic for me.

I was doing masterloot tonight, we have our players whisper the ML if they want something as we list it, problem is atleast twice in that night someone who said "me" i did NOT get the whisper in my cellular, it happened on 2 occasions which actually ended up in missloots, but that was dealt with no biggy what can ya do. Both players sent me a SS later of them whispering me with just the word me in their whisper, and if they sent me a whisper afterwards I got that just fine, like one player sent me a big wall of text cause he was kinda laughing at the problem, and that came in just fine, and most of the other "me"s all night came in (to the best of my knowledge atleast) so you can see how this is a problem, and its quite odd that it does that randomly.

Sigh, seems like all of the sound mods are now hook driven instead of event. I'll have to do the same to make things work, which I'm not going to do since it's terrible for performance.

I may come up with a solution over the holidays.

I'm stuck with it like this now and can't see whispers for several lines (and that's with the font size turned way up).
I'll look into providing a reset option. For now, enter this command to reset your variables:
Code:
/script CellularDB=nil ReloadUI()

greetings, Sha
I do not see the point or usefulness of horizontal minimizing. If I understand you correctly, it would be similar to making Fubar/Titan or even the Windows Taskbar have a vertical growth. Also, doing this will add too much bloat to Cellular, and I do not want that.

Thanks.
Look for date("%H:%M:%S") and remove the :%S. As a side note, I'm not going to add an option to remove it cause, for active chat messages, time stamps are pointless without seconds.

I've discussed the combat issues before (not on WOWI). I personally do not want to promote bad habits in my mods. Here are my reasons:
  • Someone can be in combat for up to 10 minutes.
  • It's not hard to chat, especially not hard to read, while in combat in this game.
  • People do receive important whispers for combat (ie. boss mods).
  • There are time sensitive whispers (whispers from a GM).
I suggest placing your windows where they do not get in your way when they pop up.

Re: Re: Re: editbox

Heyyy uhh..I've used Celluar since i've known it existed..so much better than WIM..

I was wondering..how much of an operation would it be to make Cellular not pop up at all during combat..then re-appear when combat ends..

I certainly understand the mentality of having just the little titlebar show up during combat..so you can open it if you want to.. mebbe a toggleable option? Show/Hide Title Bar/Window during combat..

I suppose making the full window re-appear after combat would be the most challenging../shrug..not that I know the first thing about addons..LoL..just wondering ;-)

Re: Re: editbox

...or I could just comment out the calls in Cellular to SetPoints(ChatFrameEditBox, ...) and get the behavior I want

I'm going to have to declare Cellular as incompatible with Prat 3.0. That's the third report of something not working cause of the two. Well, at quick glance, you're probably using Prat's undock feature for the editbox. Either don't use that or don't use Cellular.
