I really just want WIM to intercept only BTag messages. Possible?

DBM aside (yay for large projects), to account for large messages, instead of directly using ChatThrottleLib, you could use Ace-Serialize-3.0, followed by AceComm-3.0, which uses CTL internally. That way the message will always be intact, in order, and correct, no matter how long the message.

I use the same trick in LibGuildBankComm-1.0 when sending the contents of the build bank.

It might just be how the server saw it, even if WIM sent them in order. WIM transmits them in order but it sends them at same time. if server doesn't receive them in order then that'll happen. it could probably be fixed by not sending them at same time and applying a delay for messages 2+, but not on top of my todo list at moment since DBM is taking all my focus right now.

Does anyone else have, or have had this problem with WIM, where if I post something long. Usually needs to be 3 paragraphs, but I've seen it happen with just 2. Yet sometimes, not often or anything, it'll jumble them about. I don't believe it really messes the posting up. Usually one is just out of place so instead of it going like 1, 2, 3, 4 it'll go 1, 3, 4, 2. It's pretty aggravating. ._.

I would check auto purge settings for history. by default, it DOES remove history after x amount of time or messages, etc. This is to avoid high memory usage from too much history. If you want to change this behavior you have to adjust the history clearing options.

unless you are saying you did disable them all and they keep turning back on. No idea why that would happen.

Love this addon.. Have used it since it came out. It is my number one addon. But for some reason it will completely randomly delete all my history and check the boxes to auto delete my history which is terrible because i've lost a lot of information and memories.

6.2.4 goes live tuesday. Alpha versions should work for most part but I'm not going to tag a release until live servers are up and I can do some final testing since current PTR has hosed battle.net apis that are returning invalid args right now (i certainly hope it doesn't go live this way or parts of WIM won't even remotely work)

EDIT I tagged it ahead of time. PTR finally fixed the bugs keeping me from verifying it. It should work without issues.

Emerald_dreams, you probably have to open that ticket on ChatThrottleLib as it seems problem is there. http://www.wowace.com/addons/chatthrottlelib/

Hello,

I'm getting an entry in BugSack about WIM trying to perform arithmetic on a nil value when I close a conversation, in Sources\WindowHandler.lua.

line 630:

local x1, y1, x2, y2 = animate.initLeft*es, animate.initTop*es, to:GetLeft()*ts, to:GetTop()*ts;

Note: This has been happening since I got WIM, and lately I've been bugfixing other addons that occassionally throw bugs. WIM is the last on the list.

Edit: I have been using nUI for longer than I used WIM, and nUI hides the WIM button from the minimap, instead putting all those buttons in a "Minimap Button Bag" on the bags toolbar, where you can find all the "hidden" minimap buttons in, in a grid. I think that's the cause; the WIM button no longer having coordinates when nUI is also installed.

Edit 2: Came up with a quick and very dirty fix:

line 630:

local to_getleft, to_gettop = to:GetLeft() or self:GetLeft(), to:GetTop() or self:GetTop();

local x1, y1, x2, y2 = animate.initLeft*es, animate.initTop*es, to_getleft*ts, to_gettop*ts;

Just a note, if anyone notices BN_CONVERSATION being removed from WIM. This is because in patch 6.2.4 it is removed from game entirely as well as 7.0. It'll be gone soon so in order to support these changes I'm removing it from WIM in advance. This means if you use alpha versions on 6.2.3 Live, it will no longer work with battle.net/realid conversations (note, this applies to conversations/chats, not whispers between two real id friends)

Love this addon and have had it for years but over the past couple of days there's been an issue that won't let me view my history & also the chat boxes are only showing location (NOT invite/add friend, etc.)

Love this addon so far, just started using it yesterday actually. My one complaint though is that for Guild chat, the achieves do not go to Wim. Is there a way to fix that or a setting I am missing?? Also in the video I saw there were some icons on the right side of the chat screen and I am not seeing those. Is that only for like one on one chats maybe??

Is there a way to have "say" and "emote" be grouped in the same window? Most of my RPing happens with those two chat types and i would like to have a way to record them. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Or is this not a feature?

Also, I have a slight bug with the options window. The "General > Main" tab of the options, the buttons and text are all a few inches too low.

Fixes were found for the popup window issue with libwho-2.0 and a typo that allowed incorrect impact from a variable in the global namespace. For those interested and comfortable editing libwho-2.0.lua the instructions are in the WhoLib tickets area (tickets 24 & 25.) A PM has been sent to the wholib project manager as a gentle push.

If you run both WIM and Censusplus you need to make the same updates to both supporting libraries. Due to the way Word of Warcraft client runs, we have no way to know which copy of the library will be considered the active one.

Testing has confirmed that with the fixes installed, manual /who requests return to the chat window when the result count is 0 - 3 characters and to the popup window at returns >3. This is the default WoW client response.

Mysticalos it might be a good idea to test these fixes yourself and send your result observations to the wholib people.

It appears at this time only CensusPlus and WIM make use of the library.. as least I haven't found others that are still active.

Bringoutyourdead CensusPlus maintainer.

This doesn't disable fading?
http://mysticalos.com/images/WoD/window_focus.jpg

As for the /who issue. That's more of a complaint for wholib project page, an embedded library WIM just happens to use.

EDIT, I see now there were 3 other options that were invisible for some reason That didn't get fixed by last update which fixed many other invisible options. New version should now have a working global option to control fade in display settings once more.
