wow-instant-messenger

WIM (WoW Instant Messenger) is a World of Warcraft addon which brings an instant messenger feel to communication in game.

Features

Whispers in their own windows.
Chat in their own windows.
Tabbed windows
Highly configurable.
History
Copy and paste as:
- Raw Text
- BBCode
- Advanced, intellectual window behaviors & animations.
- Skins
- Emoticons
- Clickable web URLS for easy viewing. No more retyping a long url a friend sends you.
- Customizable sound options.
- Expose - great way to clear your screen of windows when you are in combat.

Known Issues

Addons can not process messages while chat is in lock down. To get around this, WIM logs all events and then rebuilds and processes them once you have excited lock down. During this time, chat is routed as normal to the default chat frame so you don't miss anything. Unfortunately, /r and similar keybindings to reply during this time will NOT work. Allowing the default chat frame to handle these events cause severe tainting issues and breaks everything.
Community Chat is now supported. It comes with limitations though because the sender name and message are protected and can not be read by addons or saved.
- No filtering
- No History

Addon Compatibility: (Always make sure you are running the latest versions.)

I am having serious problems when I am typing to someone in a whisper and someone else whispers me it switches tabs and i start typing to the new person. So ill have like have a message done, then someone new messages me, and the other half of my original message starts tpying into their window. I keep having to switch tabs constantly, and my messages are getting all messed up.

i LOVE WIM and can't whisper people w/o it, but every time I minimize the windows the game crashes. Has there been a fix to this yet, or is there a way to just make the windows close instead of "slide" like they do?

Maybe you could work it in with one of the media player addons for WoW and show what song another user is listening to.

Also how do I get chat logging working? doesn't seem to show anything in the chat log menu. While this isn't a necessity, its a useful feature. Keep up the good work, can't wait till the next release.

To Tyrania
- WIM does have tabbed chat windows, not by default, hold down shift and drag the window onto another.

To Zaiviys
- FuBar isn't a favourite addon of mine, I would prefer it if it is added that it be optional rather than necessary.

I hate to be a bother, and I know that with the servers (At least mine) as buggy as they are, it must be rather difficult, but is there a way you could try and squeeze Tabbed Mode into the addon? It was VERY useful, and I loved not having a million boxxes pop up on my screen.

Thanks! <3

in the old WIM i used to be able to put the WIM window in the background. now if i'm keeping a window open i can't click on an open window on the left siad (i.e. the quest log or profession window). the WIM window does not fade to the background like it used to....does this feature still exist and i'm not seeing it? or was it taken out?

Are there plans to add the FuBar tie-in in a future build or no? Just wondering. Thanks for a great addon!

Before we move on with new features and options, how about we work on the issue with no tells coming through? I've had wim disabled for days now because every time I get a message it doesn't show up. I keep getting spammed with the same message from certain people as though wim is stuck in a relay or something. Will this be fixed in the next update?

read above please, he is slowly getting the options like the tabbed option in to the newly rewritten WIM that was written from the ground up. Be patient and use the Shit drag feature to mage them tabbed untill he can get that coded

I have 2 issues 1) tabbed view is missing and creates loads of open chats when I'm /w -- 2) when /w it often jumps to the chat window giving a message of "wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"

I have the saving history option checked...but when I pull up the history window, there's nothing there. Have I done something wrong?

"Locale client" refers to the language version of your game and "Cyrillic" (I'm assuming that's what was meant) is a family of alphabets used in Russian and various other eastern European languages. :)
