Couple big issues with WIM right now, don't know how to explain this one..

"WIM has been blocked from an action only available to the BlizzardUI"

First, Whisper Windows fade so you can see through them (Transparent) however, when you mouse over them again, they stay transparent and don't come back to opaque to read properly.

Second, for some reason whispers aren't going through if they're over the standard character limit. (255?) The addon seems to be breaking and refuses to send the message until it's shortened.

15x WIM\Modules\WhisperEngine.lua:253: ChatThrottleLib:SendChatMessage(): message length cannot exceed 255 bytes
[C]: in function `error'
...ddOns\Carbonite\Libs\AceComm-3.0-10\ChatThrottleLib-23.nil.lua:419: in function `SendChatMessage'
WIM\Modules\WhisperEngine.lua:253: in function `SendSplitMessage'
WIM\Modules\WhisperEngine.lua:282: in function `fun'
WIM\Sources\WindowHandler.lua:395: in function <WIM\Sources\WindowHandler.lua:387>
WIM\Sources\WindowHandler.lua:710: in function <WIM\Sources\WindowHandler.lua:710>

Locals:
(*temporary) = "ChatThrottleLib:SendChatMessage(): message length cannot exceed 255 bytes"

Perhaps Carbonite is limiting it for some reason, as per output result?

It's doing all sorts of things now it seems.

Tried to use a toy:

1x [ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN] AddOn 'WIM' tried to call the protected function 'UseToy()'.
!BugGrabber\BugGrabber.lua:573: in function <!BugGrabber\BugGrabber.lua:573>
[C]: in function `UseToy'
...faceBlizzard_Collections\Blizzard_ToyBox.lua:145: in function `ToySpellButton_OnClick'
[string "*:OnClick"]:4: in function <[string "*:OnClick"]:1>

Locals:
nil

I'm sorry I know this is a dumb question. Is there still a way to get your whispers in in-line chat (my usual chat box) in addition to the pop up? Using ElvUI also if that makes a difference.

Why do I want to do this? I like WIM because it forces me to see there was a whisper when I may miss it. But I do like it disappears during combat. Sometimes though I need to see that whisper during combat and I miss it.

If that makes sense.

Thanks!

An error from officer chat?

nevermind, it's just another GuildControlSetRank. The second call to it is fixed in 3.7.14+

Yeah it's giving me an error to ignore or disable because it's blocked from an action. I disabled the guild notification and history so hopefully it will stop throwing up that error cause it's really friggan annoying

Yeah, WIM works fine for me until someone talks in gchat, at which point it tells me it's been blocked from an action and throws this error:

3x [ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN] AddOn 'WIM' tried to call the protected function 'GuildControlSetRank()'.

In reply to GypsyAnguisette:

Just WIM getting falsely blamed for things it doesn't even use. once UI is tainted, any addon that even looks at it funny gets blamed for it.

EDIT,s orry THAT is now fixed. i mistook that for the other taint WIM usually gets blamed for. the :Hide() errors.

In reply to Forge_User_08882116:It's caused if you try and have WIM cap ochat.

GuildControlSetRank Is now protected so all sub calls such as ochat permision checking throws the error.

It's just a shame svn on curse works like crap since they changed site over to new stuff. Not a single commit in last new months has created new files. Checking out from SVN also times out on externals so can't even check out working files either. You basically have to build WIM completely and totally manually. Not that it's had any bug fixes. just a TOc bump for patch 7.2, updated urls for armory and stuff, and SC1 client icon support.

But, as long as using curses crappy svn, no files are produced anymore.

Previously, if I linked several items that were too large for a single message, it automatically sent and second/3rd consecutive message to hold it all. Now, if I link too much, the message won't send any of the links at the end of the line... I used the original ability to send lists to friends but now I can't do that anymore. Any chance this could be fixed?

WIM is still not updated for the latest patch. I would like to enable this again, but I have a policy about not enabling outdated addons. So please can you all update this? It is one of the most useful addons I use.

Note: I have read and acknowledged the moderator's post about this addon. However, I just do not like running addons that register as outdated in the addon menu.

In reply to Libranz:

This addon is basically functioning "as is" and isn't getting updates anymore. When people have patches I apply them but myself nor anyone else seems to be interested in doing work on WIM outside of absolute bare minimum to keep it semi working. To be honest, I'm surprised it managed to survive 7.2, because it wasn't touched at all for it. the 7.1 version just happens to still work.
