WowAce

Request: is there any way to get Community channels into WIM?

You can't see your messages anymore in Classic WoW - SOD when sending whispered to others, it only shows their whispers, but not what you write, please fix this!

I would like to disable the popup windows for people I invite for layer switch. I haven't found a way with the filters I found, to just block the addon whispers.

Maybe someone has an idea, or you could fix that in the next version? Other than that, perfect addon.

Would be cool if one of the buttons in the WIM windows was to send Bnet tag

Can you search by date (for example all messages u got today)?

Would be nice, if there's a way - if not np (but would still be a highly sought for feature!).

Appreciating the nice addon, keep up the good work!

WIM is blocking instance, party and raid chat when I enter any rated pvp. Have to turn it off to see assignments and in-game calls when I am inside of any rated instance. I hope you can fix this as it is very frustrating. I cannot even see my own chat comments.

@anniefrell I get the following:

3x bad argument #1 to '?' (outside of expected range -2147483648 to 2147483647 - Usage: local accountInfo = C_BattleNet.GetAccountInfoByID(id [, wowAccountGUID]))

[WIM/WIM.lua]:151: in function 'GetBNGetFriendInfoByID'

[WIM/WIM.lua]:326: in function <WIM/WIM.lua:298>

[WIM/WIM.lua]:339: in function <WIM/WIM.lua:337>

Locals:

id=<table>{

1=56

2="|Kj195|k"

3="jevalam#1690"

4=true

6=383

7="BSAp"

Possible fix for this error:

Root cause:

In WIM.lua around line 315, GetBNGetGameAccountInfoByKName() returns a Lua table (all friend info packed via {GetBNGetFriendInfo(i)}), but that whole table gets assigned directly to event.args[13]. WhisperEngine then passes args[13] to GetBNGetFriendInfoByID(), which forwards it to C_BattleNet.GetAccountInfoByID() — which expects a plain number (bnetAccountID), not a table.

-- Change this (~line 315):

event.args[13] = GetBNGetGameAccountInfoByKName(event.args[2]) or 0;

-- To this:

local bnInfo = GetBNGetGameAccountInfoByKName(event.args[2]);

event.args[13] = (bnInfo and bnInfo[1]) or 0;

bnInfo[1] is the bnetAccountID (first return value of GetBNGetFriendInfo), which is what GetBNGetFriendInfoByID actually expects.

Optional safety guard in GetBNGetFriendInfoByID (~line 150):

luafunction GetBNGetFriendInfoByID(id)

if type(id) == "table" then id = id[1] end

if type(id) ~= "number" or id < -2147483648 or id > 2147483647 then return end

local accountInfo = _G.C_BattleNet.GetAccountInfoByID(id) or {};

Reproducible whenever a BNet friend sends a whisper (CHAT_MSG_BN_WHISPER / CHAT_MSG_BN_INLINE_TOAST_ALERT).

The fix fixed the error for me

Heya! Trying to figure out if this is an issue with WIM itself or the WIM Skin: ElvUI I'm using with it:

2x bad argument #1 to '?' (outside of expected range -2147483648 to 2147483647 - Usage: local accountInfo = C_BattleNet.GetAccountInfoByID(id [, wowAccountGUID]))

Do you guys have a discord for your addon ?

Hiya - I'm an avid user of Twitch Emote addons and the emotes shows up perfectly well in the WIM window but I'm not seeing animated emotes at all (They are just still) and I can't hover an emote to check it's name / way to spell it. I know it worked back in Classic then broke at some point and I just went with it but now I'm just curious if there is anything that can be done about it or it's too much of an issue :) Thanks in advance.

I have 2 accounts and when I go to sounds, one of my accounts has many sounds and the other has very few. I was wondering what folder are the sounds for whispers stored in so I could add more sounds. Thank You!

In reply to RealPazza: TY for the reply =)

i notice that my wim has started adding |Hsuiseq:51 just before my message after my name this is happening on tbc classic but i don't know if this is happening to others on retail as well. This just started update before last
