Picking up the idea and materializing the addon, maintaining through years after quitting WoW

3.4.5.1
* prevent chatevents interfering while mouse is hovering over the chatframe

3.4.5
* fixup boolean error

3.4.4
* config: cleanup events removed from game and update reference list per link

3.4.3
* refix frozen chat window on login by direct calls of Animate() instead of unpdateHeight()
* respect MaximizeCombatLog on floating combatlog and handle docking/dedocking it

3.4.2.2
* fix error on chatevent when chatframe is not in config

3.4.2.1
* fix minimizing/maximizing ALL windows on mouseover

3.4.2
* config is now an own file, instead of being part of core.lua
this allows for copying/backing up your config between updates
* swept through code and used chatframes directly instead of frames tucked on the chatframes
* fixed a bug where config setting would be ignored for certain chat events (eg. only ChatFrame1 for "say" is set, but ChatFrame3 and ChatFrame4 would have been triggered)

3.4.1
* fixed "frozen" chat window on login

3.4
* crude legion update

3.3.2
* try to minimize chat on load
* Re-introduce ChatFrame:UpdateHeight() to manually update the height
* fixed a possible error with the chat-tabs

3.3.1
* fixed chat height of messages spanning multiple lines

3.3
*fixes for 3.3.5
*simpler event handling, including battle.net-events

3.2
*Prevent chat from resizing when moving it around

3.1
*TOC bump
*Added new PartyLeader event to the eventlist

3.0
* Another rewrite
* Chicchai now uses less CPU time
* You can define how many lines you'd like to see in minimized mode
* docked chatframes are now handled properly
* fixed chat frame flickering happening sometimes on mouseover
* you can define how long you should hover the frame until it maximizes
* chatframes can stay maximized for a defined time before minimizing on mouseleave
* you can configure on which custom channels the chatframe maximizes

2.0
*Core rewritten
*You are now able to manage the chatframes you want to be affected (like chatframe 5, 6, 8, and so on)
*TOC bump

1.1
*A few improvements
*Now Updates when the Chat Window is too small or big

1.0.1
*Added Option, that the Chat will stay open for a defined time after mouseover

Both of you need to add the other chat frames (3, ...) in your config-table. Otherwise Chicchai won't check on these if the mouse hovers or not. So, just make a new entry under ChatFrame1 with an empty table:

Code:

["ChatFrame3"] = {},

I will probably come up with a better solution in the next version - which will likely be another rewrite for the 3.1 animations-API

Now I feel like a noob. Thanks for your help, seems to be working fine even with 3.1.

ok, this may answer my question.

i have, lets say, 3 chat tabs docked together. the first tab is working great. but when i change to the 3rd tab (2nd is combat .. also working) and hover over it, it doesnt maximize. is it because the first tab is minimized so all other stay also minimized?

in the previous version it worked on all chat tabs

thanks

xConStruct A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 199 File comments: 374 Uploads: 18	Thanks for the report! First of all, scrolling up shouldn't affect Chicchai at all. I'll try to reproduce it tomorrow and for that I have some more detailed questions: Your chat frames are docked with tabs in your interface, right? Just to clarify that a bit. When / which chat frames don't maximize when entering with the mouse? Is ChatFrame3 added in the config-file? Chicchai provides the :SetFrozen-function only for the frames mentioned in the config. The problem with docked/tabbed frames is that in reality only the first chat frame is resized, because all other frames are attached to it and follow its dimensions. __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!

xtoq An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 32 File comments: 642 Uploads: 4	Ok, have a weird thing with the new version. I have 6 chat frames on my main. If I go to #1 (General) and scrollup, while I'm scrolled up, the frame stays maximized (expected behavior). If I go to any other chat frame (except combat) and do the same thing, it minimizes after the set time, just as if I wasn't 1) scrolled up and 2) hovering over the chat frame. It doesn't maximize consistently when my mouse comes into the frame either (yes I have the options set in the lua). I tried the /script ChatFrame3:SetFrozen(true) but I got the following error: Date: 2009-04-12 18:15:26 ID: 3 Error occured in: Global Count: 1 Message: [string "ChatFrame3:SetFrozen(true)"] line 1: attempt to call method 'SetFrozen' (a nil value) Debug: (tail call): ? [C]: SetFrozen() [string "ChatFrame3:SetFrozen(true)"]:1: in main chunk [C]: RunScript() ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:1720: ?() ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:3210: ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:3163 [C]: ChatEdit_ParseText() ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2930: ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2929 [C]: ChatEdit_SendText() ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2951: ..\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2950 [C]: ChatEdit_OnEnterPressed() [string ":OnEnterPressed"]:1: [string ":OnEnterPressed"]:1 Anywho, I'll do some more troubleshooting later, after Naxx. Not a big deal either way, but thought you'd like to know about it. At least if the frozen issue can get fixed, then I can just not have minimization on those frames. SetFrozen does disable ALL mini/maximization on that chat frame, right?

Okay, we pushed another complete rewrite out - There can be bugs, of course

Multiple different chat windows should now be handled correctly, without any issues.

Originally posted by khurzog want to hover over the chat window for 3 seconds before it goes max.

Okay, implemented - look for waitAfterEnter.

Originally posted by Aximous I want it to maximise when something happens on my class channels but not for the spam on trade chat.

Included in the new version, you can define them in the channelNumbers-table.

Originally posted by Aximous I mean that the line still visible shouldn't remain in the middle of the frame but the bottom.

Chicchai only changes the height - it's up to the chatframe what line is displayed, and it should always be the last one to which you scrolled. If you want to scroll to the bottom automatically, there are other addons out for that - e.g. Tekkub's The Low Down.

@MoonWitch:
there's now a config-part to handle multiple lines. Thanks to nailertn for the quick workaround.

Now it only maxmizes when someone goes on/offline or i accept a quest, etc.

change it in the lua. look for the events you want the chat to react on and uncomment them.
