Elephant
"Shoot... what did he say again? I just got disconnected."
"Didn't that folk already loot that rare item 10 minutes ago?"
"I really wish I could remember the name of the item linked on the guild chat yesterday at 9:00 PM."
...
Already been in one of these situations? Don't be annoyed anymore, here is the solution!
Solution to chat loss annoyance
Elephant logs the chat for you in the background even when you get disconnected. It saves the WHISPER & BATTLE.NET, RAID, INSTANCE & BATTLEGROUND, PARTY, GUILD, SAY, YELL and OFFICER chats separately, but also all general chats (General, Trade, LocalDefense, ...), custom chats you are currently on, achievements, loots and finally system messages (auctions, rolls, server going down, ...). You can easily go through all these logs, thanks to a straightforward interface displaying all the access buttons on the right side of the main window. You can access the options of the addon by typing /elephant and also bind a key to pop up the addon.
Elephant gives you the ability to copy up to 100,000 (yes, 100k) characters of logs to another application. A BBCode feature is even included, letting you copy/paste a chat with colors and links to an item database in a very quick and simple way to your favorite forum.
This is THE addon that you should install if you want to never forget what somebody told you in game. Be a pro of managing hell tells, go peacefully AFK for a few minutes, or be an awesome role player. Elephant is also perfectly designed for Guild Leaders, Officers and Raid Leaders particularly because it restores the chats after you've been disconnected.
Main features
- Logs the chats in the background, with a limit of 10,000 lines for each chat (Blizzard's default is 161 lines for everything).
- Saves the logs when you log out or get disconnected.
- Display the chats with timestamps, or using your Prat settings if you have it installed.
- Copy the chat and paste it in other applications (BBCode supported!), up to 100,000 characters.
- Save the chat and combat log in two different files on your computer (using the default Blizzard logging system).
Other features
- Use filters to avoid logging some of the custom channels you join.
- Enable/disable logging for each chat separately.
- Item links in logs are displayed in their proper color and are clickable.
- Player names in the main window are clickable.
- ...and much more!

Posted Sep 20, 2006It seems that sometimes a weird bug does "cut" the raid log when it is full and then ChatLog will only display something like 10 lines instead of 20 in the window. I don't really know what is happening, I hope I will find what is going wrong in the next few days.

Posted Sep 20, 2006@ wolftankk: Thanks for the localisation, it's an amazing work you have done ;) I'll add your name to the localisation :)
For your bug report, you could try to do what I have said in my message just below (posted "Monday, September 18, 2006 - 09:38 am"). If you still have the same problems, could you send your ChatLog.lua file to me by MP or whatever? Thanks ;)
EDIT: Ho, and could you confirm that the variables: CHAT_LOG_GENERAL_STR = "综åˆ"; CHAT_LOG_TRADE_STR = "交易"; CHAT_LOG_LOCALDEFENSE_STR = "本地防务"; CHAT_LOG_WORLDDEFENSE_STR = "世界防务"; CHAT_LOG_LOOKINGFORGROUP_STR = "寻求组队"; CHAT_LOG_GUILDRECRUITMENT_STR = "公会招寡"; Are EXACTLY the same than the channel names in World of Warcraft in Chinese?

Posted Sep 18, 2006@ Antikleia: Thanks ;) I will add this in the next release :)
@ humina: Could you try doing the same thing than Grayson Carlyle?
@ humina & Grayson Carlyle: If things still doesn't work, could you try: 1) Logout from the game 2) Delete the file: World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\<Your_Account>\<Your_Server>\<Your_Character>\SavedVariables\ChatLog.lua 3) Run the game. 4) Disable all AddOns except ChatLog. 5) Login and see if everything is fine. 6) Logout and enable each AddOn one after all and see if everything is okay. If not, please post here to tell me which AddOn is causing the dropdown menu not to appear.
Thanks! ;)

Posted Sep 16, 2006@ Antikleia: Three variables are missing, here they are.
CHAT_LOG_DIALOG_CLEARALL_TEXT = "This will clear all logs."; CHAT_LOG_DIALOG_CLEARALL_BUTTON1 = "Ok"; CHAT_LOG_DIALOG_CLEARALL_BUTTON2 = "Cancel";
Thanks though for everything else ;) I'll add harl's name and yours to the login message of ChatLog ;)
EDIT: Ho, and could you confirm that the translation of "Tranlsation" is "Ãœbersetzung"? I'd like to add something like: "Ãœbersetzung: harl & Antikleia"

Posted Sep 15, 2006Hey there justcallmefred ;)
I don't think you will have any problem if you use ChatMod and ChatLog together. And moreover, if you remove scroll buttons, the ChatLog button should also disapear. If not, try to logout and to login again.
Post here if you have any problem :)
