Chat Consolidate
Youtube video of the addon in action. Watch full screen and 720p for best results!
Chat Consolidate is a stand alone AddOn for World of Warcraft that filters the chat frame. Too long have players made a macro for the group and spammed the chat lanes with their posts that take up half the screen. Those posters make other posters post just as frequently to get their group advertised as well. Well no longer!
r8 changes - 09/03/10
* Fixed the bug where the tooltip likes to stay on indefinitely
* Fixed the bug where filtering custom channels completely hid the channel
* Fixed a lot of compatibility issues with other chat related addons.
* Added a report feature, where you determine which ignore words you want to report. Either auto report, or a prompt. Also able to hide the report message when using auto report.
* Adjust some dictionary entries
* Adjusted the ASCII Filter to be less strict.
* Adjusted the throttle to be between 1 and 128 instead of 1 and 50.
Chat Consolidate uses a few simple techniques so you can take control of your chat frame once again. Chat Consolidate will do the following:
* Transform long posts that naturally take up more than one line, into a condensed one line Link.
* Transform macroed posts that are small, but send out 5 separate lines, into a one line Link.
o A link upon clicking will display the full message as intended by the poster.
o A link will scan the text for meaningful keywords that you choose. (Comes default with the most common)
o A link can be mouseovered while holding shift (with an option, you can view without shift) into the user's tooltip.
* Color codes keywords. The default addon comes with 26 keywords and predefined colors. These are completely customizable. Change the keyword, change the color, delete it, add more. You highlight and filter what YOU want to see
* Has an ignore feature. Add words you do not want to see. This feature is useful for
o Gold Spam! Comes with common keywords used by gold sellers to filter them out.
o Word filters, like Thunderfury or Anal. Add more like murloc or Chuck Norris if those are prominent on your chat lines.
o Saved or tired to ICC this week. Add ICC to your ignore words and everything ICC related gets filtered out. Then, just open up the dictionary and delete the ICC keyword when your ready to read information about ICC again.
o Language filter! Have kids that play WoW too? Add words you do not want your little one to see. The stock filter merely covers the word, where you can still infer what the word is. Chat Consolidate will remove the entire line! Turn "$@!% these n00bs!!" into ""... that's right! Into nothing!
* Makes your chat frame slimmer. [2. Trade] goes to [2]. <Busy> and <Away> tags are removed! Obviously if they are annoying you with spam, they are neither away or busy.
* Throttle tracker. This will keep up with the number of times you chat is throttled. Just cosmetic so you know how hard this AddOn works for you! As of now, my counter is up to 13,810. How high does yours go?
* Dump Frame. Setting a dump frame allows you to set a frame where chat will never be filtered, throttled, or ignored by Chat Consolidate.
* Override. Sets a frame that you want to always check for width. The addon selects the current frame in focus to determine the width allowed to truncate properly. The override feature is there in case the chat frame you want the filtered chat to appear is not the same width as the one that's usually in focus.
* Auto Report. Automatically reports people you ignore that you opt for. For example, you have the ignore words Black Temple and Anal. You flag anal to be reportable. So when someone says black temple, it just gets ignored; however, anal get ignored and reported.
Slash Command List
/cc or /chatc or /chatcon opens the interface menu
/cc dump n where n is a number 1 through 10 (sets the dump frame, where text will always go unfiltered and unthrottled)
/cc override n where n is a number 1 through 10 (sets the frame used to determine width for truncating messages)
/cc spam - Displays the last message Ignored.
How is this different from SpamThrottle?
Simple, SpamThrottle looks at a message and blocks it for a set amount of time (default is 10 minutes), My addon looks at a message and blocks it for a set amount of unique posts to go by. For instance, if your throttle bar is set to 15, and PosterA posts a message, he has to wait for 15 more unique posts to enter your chat screen before his message can be posted again.
Prefer SpamThrottles method over mine? Chat Consolidate will work together with SpamThrottle, giving you the double layer of spam reduction you desire.

it will truncate it, if the use posted "25" and then posted "25" again. When it cant find a keyword, and there are multiple lines, it adds the truncation, as a reminder that it is infact a link, even though its that small. Let me download chatter and see if everything is getting double posted.
Maybe thats why every chat link is getting like that... Unless its just a coincidence that all the people in your trade chat double post regular conversations Also, what size font are you using (14 pt., 16 pt. 18 pt?) if you know? The truncation is also suppose to stay on the first line. Edit:Also I know my description is pretty lousy, but a line of chat, that only takes up one line, won't be transformed into a link. It will be just like normal. Even if its like "LF2M Icc10 Need 2 Tanks" - It will displayed as if you didnt even have the addon. But I'm gonna download chatter and see if I can make a workaround so we can get rid of this double posting

I get the double text when I click it and Shift-hover it, also should it truncate the text if it is only one word? FYI: I use Chatter for my chat add-on |

Until the day comes where everyone uses LFG channel, this is the mod to help contain the monster wall of text that is trade channel. On my server last night, i logged on around 10pm server, set my throttle to 10 messages, and before 11pm, i had throttled more than 600+ messages. And people spam their 5 lines macros. This addon to me is absolutely necessary for my trade chat and i got up to 50 ignores just by adding black temple (and it throttle before ignores, so thats 50 ignores that made it through the throttle) I hope this addon helps you out until we can all use the proper channel |

This is probably not what you want to read, especially after the hard work you have done on this mod.
BUT Why are we encouraging people to use trade channel for LFG? We have a global LFG channel in place that is better suited for this and frees /trade up for. . ya know. . trade. But that aside, good job on the mod. |

Re: Re: Possible bug, or user being foolish
Could it be related to the fact that I have trade redirected to ChatFrame3? Not sure whether the first version I used was 1 or 2. If you like, I'll try downloading v1, and see whether the problem goes away, either w/ all addons on or only Chat Consolidate on. |

Re: Possible bug, or user being foolish
If you are, you can try downloading r1, cause I used bad programming practice and manipulated blizzards code, instead of adding a filter, so now maybe a chat addon is sending what it like to filters first, and then it fires mine. edit:the first release (r1) I used prat while i was making the addon, so I know it works there. editedit: I just tried with Prat 3.0, and it appears to be in working order, what Chat Addons do you use if any? I'll go download it and see how to work with it

Possible bug, or user being foolish
I feel stupid, but I'm always getting the unprocessed line, followed by the processed one -- even if I turn off absolutely everything else. I assume this isn't the intended behavior, but I don't see any switches to do anything about this.
What am I doing wrong? :P |

Thanks yeah sorry about the double update, i tested all of the dictionary features on every one, and then i made a slight tweak, and didnt check the Required Buttons again... so those didnt work. Also, the throttle message counter started throwing errors after 999, cause i format the number to have commas, and when it got a comma it was no longer a "number" so my function didnt like it The tooltip isnt a bug, i decided to have it erase cause your not actually hovering over the link anymore when chat bumps. Before I added that, when you didnt move your mouse and the chat bumped, the tooltip would not go away, you couldnt erase it hovering over action buttons or anything else that called the tooltip... it was there forever until you hovered over another chat link and moused out. So all though its inconvenient, its also necessary to avoid frustrations edit:If it helps, if you scroll up on the chat frame (atleast on the default UI one) even if more chat messages are added, it wont refresh until you scroll all the way to the bottom

Got a possible bug, whenever shift-hovering over an item to compare them, whenever receiving a new chat message the tooltip disappears.

Also in that same menu is the Key Word dictionary, simply mark the keywords Required for a link to become a keyword link (one that only shows keywords instead of teh white one) |
