Low Memory Chat  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 9
by: jaliborc [More]

Low Memory Chat is no longer maintained on WoWInterface. For the latest release, check Curse.


If you are looking for a highly configurable chat mod, LM Chat isn't for you: this is an extremely small add-on, and has no configurable settings.
Help about enabling an disabling features can be found here.


Features
  • Low Memory Usage: less than 1,7 kb (no modules)
  • Hides the up, down and menu chat buttons
  • Chat menu button inside the chat frame, at the upright corner optional module
  • Enables chat scrolling
  • Relocates bottom button to be inside the chat frame, and it only appears when you are scrolling.
  • Shorten and removes channel names (the color should be enough)
  • Makes Yell, Whisper, Party, Raid, Guild and Officer channels sticky optional modules
  • Moves the editbox to the top of the frame optional module
  • Lets you choose between several editbox styles (see the second image)
  • Timestamps optional module
  • Disable Tab Flash optional module
  • Disable Text Fading optional module

Languages
  • English
  • Spanish
  • German (thanks to disiz)
  • French (thanks to oaudry)

Based In
  • Chat Box - Robinson
  • Chat Timestamp - Micah
  • Rage Skin - N00bZXI
  • zChat - Industrial

Version 8
  • Updated for 3.3.5
  • Most bugs fixed. Some might persist.

Version 7.4
  • Fixed a bug causing the module Timestamps to not load

Version 7.3
  • Improved the code of almost every module
  • Added new module: ArrowMode
  • Added new border style: Darkness

Version 7.2
  • Update for 3.2

Version 7.1
  • Fixed a bug causing the chat bottom button to not hide when clicked
  • Custom channels (general, trade,...) can now be set to sticky

Version 7
  • Added editbox styles: blizzard, smooth (classic LM Chat) and borderless for now
  • Significantly improved the code. Didn't tested it yet, but should use a lot less CPU and also a bit less memory
  • Placing the editbox at top of the chart is now an optional module

Version 6.1
  • Update the TOC file, so that WoW and WoWInterface know that it is still working. Nothing changed really.

Version 6
  • Better Module System
  • Now you can choose wich channels you want sticky
  • New Module: relocated menu button
  • New Language: French

Before Version 6
  • No records available

Hello,

Thanks. I found prat to be easy to use... but LMC is cake. The real reason I used prat was for that editbox texture. Call me crazy, but it looks nice.

Forget, I downloaded Prat and started to use it to understand how it did that.
Gosh... it can be harder to use than LM Chat!

Anyway, I figured out that it uses a custom texture to achieve that look. I will see what I can do.

If you could send me a copy of your addons folder, it would be really useful.

hope to see that feature soon =)
(if it's already possible, forgot the first part and point me how to do it, would be really appreciated =) )

thanks, and keep it up
That feature has been the most requested one in the last few days. I will work on it soon as I can.

Making the editbox to look like that is not easy, because the chat frame border is not really a border texture (confusing, I know).
It would help me a lot if you were able tell me were that photo came from and which addon is used to change the editbox appearance.

These are some I found. There may be more, though. I think most of them should work with LM Chat:

Ok... I already have the new version. Now I will have to upload 2 different ones. Jesus...

P.S: There are 3 editbox styles included: blizzard, the classic LM Chat style and one without borders. If the last one isn't how you wish, tell me what you would like to change.
