Chatter
Chatter is a comprehensive, lightweight, mega-configurable chat enhancement addon. It supports a whole bunch of stuff, including:
- Hiding buttons
- Custom aliases for channel names
- Coloring of player names by class or deterministic HSV formula, and player levels next to names
- Custom font and font size for your chat frames
- Custom background, border, and positioning for the edit box
- Option to let the edit box border color match the color of the channel you are typing in
- Channel colors remembered by name, rather than by number
- Scrolling your chat frames with the mouse wheel.
- Sticky channels, configurable
- Ability to copy a chat frame's contents to your clipboard
- Ability to copy URLs to your clipboard
- Ability to customize the background and border of your chat frames
- Timestamps
- A /tt command to send a tell to your target
- A module that turns the word "invite" into clickable links that let you invite the speaker.
- Highlights both for custom keywords in specific channels
- Chat fading toggles
- Text justification
- Autologging (Off by default)
- Alt linking
- Much larger and smaller chat frames than default
- A Groupsay (/gr) command to talk to your group, whether that's battleground, raid, or party.
- Chat Tab look-n-feel modifications
- Paging through chat tabs with the scroll wheel
so i havent used this in a while but its pretty good the only thing i cant seem to do is speak in my racial language after installing this addon. if theres a way anyone let me no.
For those having problems with Group say - the /gr command, here is a fix that seems to work for me. Line 50 & 53 of the Groupsay.lua found in Modules.
Change FROM if GetNumRaidMembers() > 0 then TO if IsInRaid() then
&
Change FROM if GetNumPartyMembers() > 0 then TO if IsInGroup() then
I have the same problem with the updated version.
Version v.1.3.3 29 June 2011 works fine and causes no problems...
Thank you for the info. I'm having the same problems and will try your suggestion immediately. Hopefully this will also allow me to move the scroll buttons back to the right side of the frames.
Same here. I *LOVE* this addon but I'm going to have to move away from it soon if it doesn't get some sort of update. When I have it enabled, I cannot see gchat or whispers, and I cannot see anything I post in any chat channel.
Like Cruciarius I cant see guild chat even some whispers seem to go astray. People keep asking me if they have upset me as I'm "ignoring them" so I have to switch it off in order to see people talking to me .
I am having the same or a similar issue as Cruciarius81. I can see guild chat just fine. I cannot, however, say anything in guild chat, in whispers, or in any other channel for that matter. I type it, hit return, and nothing. I really don't want to have to switch to Prat.
I have the latest chatter, but I'm having issues. Nothing that causes an error to popup, but... weird issues.
I can't seem to see my guild chat at all, other than the message of the day.
Can't see anything I say in a public chat.
These aren't a problem when I disable chatter. I see everything just fine, without it. I just hate the default chat system. I may look for an alternative, if these issues aren't fixed soon.
If I want to switch from the chat window to combat log the tabs have a green background. Is that a bug or is it a new "function" provided by the addon and I can disable it again?
PS: http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/7643/chatterbug.jpg that's what I'm talking about
I also get this issue.
THX!!!
Edited
I am not sure how this ended up on page 2 right after I posted it, when it SHOULD have ended up at the TOP of the list.
Still, any ETA on when these issues are fixed?
I dont know if this is a Chatter problem, but any help would be appreciated. Whenever i join a BG im constantly getting spammed with:
Raid1 (player name) (class) (class)
Raid2 (player name) (class) (class) etc...
It also does this in the middle of a BG, which makes following the chat very difficult.
That's a TinyPlates bug, they just pushed an update for it earlier.
got that error by typing /gr in chat

"On just toggling things. The actual issue was discovered. It is when "Include Level" is checked. Names will be problematic to showing. Unchecked you'll still see class coloring as normal. Enabling this breaks function."
Repeating an old comment of mine, as it got a bit hidden in current messages. Doing the above will return you to seeing names again. You do NOT have to disable the player component altogether. Just for now simply deselect "Include Level". And you'll see chats and whispers, etc all fine. Cheers.
To test yourself with whispers simply type /whisper [current characters name you are on] + spacebar [message to send to yourself to test] + return. Doing the above you should see your own whisper to yourself. This means all other whispers will now also come in.
Anyone else having issues with the /gr command? It's not loading any chat channel.
Can we have a proper update please? One that doesn't erase my replies or not bother to send them, one that doesn't steal replies to me as well, one that doesn't bug out and green box the entire screen. I really don't want to change addon, unless I am forced to which at the moment blizzard's own chat frames are pissing me off.
Also reply key doesn't work with Chatter as well as clicking on links like professions etc. So you may wanna fix that too.
lol callllm down dude. Patch just came out and this is a free addon. I'm sure the person is working on it when they have time. Such an angry elf.
