I appreciate all the work you've done with this and with DBM. Sure I'd love to see this addon working better again, but I understand time constraints, and I'm just happy to have it in some kind of working manner. To those people complaining or being explicitly rude about it, the option is always there to look at the source code and figure it out for themselves. If they think you're being lazy, surely they can just whip up a fully functioning fix in no time, right? The offers to help are piling in, are they? I wish I could, I'm just terrible with code. I'm happy that there are people out there good enough to make things like this happen. Hopefully you've gotten more positive feedback than negative. :)
This is a fine example of something that could be fixed with a LOT less frustration with a little bit of support from Blizzard, rather than them just changing their API around willy nilly and expecting us addon developers to just "deal with it".
Good luck, though...
I hope someones with time take over this project :(
@mysticalos
If those are the kinds of PMs you're getting, I respect your choice. Don't give in to the entitled people who think they deserve this addon for free. I can't say I'm not disappointed. I've been using this addon since the very early days of WoW when Yahoo! Messenger was still around. It's been a life saver, and I want to thank you for all of those years of support.
@mysticalos
I'm sorry to hear that, always been grateful for your work. Thanks for at least getting it going for us Mysticalos. Ill just hope the fix holds out for a while. =) Thanks again.
"Get on off your fucking ass and fix your addon"
yep that's the PMs I get.
@Iamglitrbug
im going to try the dirty fix I don't need all the fancy stuff just need it to pop up lol I miss my messages if it don't and people think i'm mad or igoring them
@Arbeman
yes that's what is happening to mine also when I tried to set where it pops up at I got the side boxes but nothing else hope he fixes it soon
@dartraiden thanks a lot, it helped!
@charislaska, go to WIM settings (/wim) -> Основное -> Шрифты. Uncheck "Use font suggested by skin / Использовать шрифт, входящий в шкурку" setting. If this not helps, try set "Arial Narrow" (or other Cyrillic font).
@kittymunst3r I really appreciate the efforts of fixing it - but Cyrillic symbols are just not displayed - all replaced with "?"
Is there any hope of fixing it?
PS. I did delete old WIM from AddOn's folder and replaced it with latest one downloaded from here.
Okay, peeps in the comments, if you haven't noticed: *Mysticalos did a very basic, dirty fix of WIM*. Go under Files and replace your WIM folder under your WoW>Interface>Addons folder with the latest alpha build. I've been using WIM-r518 and it's been working "great".
@Mysticalos: You're awesome. Thank you for the dirty fix, and like some of the other comments, I definitely wouldn't mind a uber basic version of WIM. Nothing fancy, just an addon that allows me to manage my whispers, guild chat, etc., neatly and efficiently. Thank you so much for all the work you've done in working and creating this! You're awesome! Also, as a guild recruiter, I couldn't survive without this addon, so thanks again for the dirty fix!
Stopped working after newest WoW patch. Whisper windows don't show up anymore, and sometimes I just get the icons of the window appearing in the top left of the screen.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh TY TY TY the beta version is working.
The symbols are still not working properly but i dont CARE. I missed WIM so sooo much. I have been using this addon since 08 and there is not one other whisper addon even close. I felt so lost without it.
Thank you so much for all your hard work and time !
Latest Alpha version is not working with Cyrillic symbols, displays ???? instead of them. Though it worked just fine before.
I love this addon. But its not working. When I get a wisp the buttons thats on the main frame move to the other side of my screen. So sad. :(
Mine was working fine until this last update 3.7.9 not only did it stop working but it blocked any of the normal whispers I was getting so I had to shut it off any idea what I can do about this hate being without my wim thanks for making and working on keeping it up to date.
Oh thank you thank you thank you. I was worried nobody was working on this. Totally essential addon
DOwnloaded the r517 and r518 releases to try it out but the addon doesnt seem to appear in my addon's list or some strange reason.
Edit - Ignore me, im blind, will test out the dirty fixes.
Just a side note, for users to see the Alpha release in curse, they need to tell it to show Alpha releases, not just the current release.
In the lastest version of Curse:
You can also click on the addon, click the 3 dots in the top right (MORE), and change it from there.
Hopefully this helps more people stay up to date with the "dirty fixes" so the dev's aren't flooded with as many tickets/requests; At least until a more permanent solution can be had. Really hoping someone finds the time to rebuild this addon...it has been an integral part of my WoW experience for many many years.
