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.)

Really buggy right now (at least for me). I get random errors sometimes when I log in, and most of the time when I start chatting with someone WIM sends them a message like "WIMInitalize3.0" or something like that.

Uninstalled. Please fix it!

How viable is this with the current patch? I would love to have this, but want to save myself some time if it has glitches due to conflicts with the current patch.

Thank you.

I've noticed that I need to recieve or send whispers twice in order to see them show up. Also, when I do a /who it doesn't show the list in the chat window.

How do I re-size the chat history window ?
For some strange reason I was able to re-size (enlarge) it so that it's bigger than my screen resolution, and now I can't reach the lower right corner in order to re-size (shrink) the window again.

See http://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=33996 for the issue I'm having - a conflict between Census and WIM which causes highly annoying who window behaviour.

Can you two authors get together and make sweet beautiful programming to resolve this? :-) I like both addons and don't want to be without either, if possible.

Since 3.0.8a this addons is behaving a little strange. It doesn't want to show incoming whispers from any people unless they're in my friends list.

Had a bunch of guys just going nuts on me because I thought they weren't answering :-)

I'm having the same problem, on some characters I can't seem to get whispers from anyone outside of my friendslist.
Another problem I'm having is that I can't use the tab key to cycle through my whispers.

I checked around a bit with my other add ons and found out that Spam Me Not isn't being updated anymore.
Some people had the same problem with spam me not (not getting whispers) so I disabled the add on and all seems normal now. Might be something to try.

The tabbing thing isn't in the newest versions. A while back, the author said that many of the old features were going to be added over time. Tabbing was one of my favorite things about this addon, so I hope it gets added soon :(

And if it was possible it would be a ToS Violation.

Yes, it is possible via
a) asp - like browser based msn clients
b) routing program - transfer data from text file to network and put data into a text file to be read by wow addon

Anyone who doesn't like option b look at how auctioneer works and how thottbot got most of it's data.

I commented on this problem a few weeks ago, and it's only been getting worse. I've had to reload my UI 3 times today because I would attempt to close a tab, get an error, and nothing I would send would go through. Most times, two windows for the same person would appear, separate from each other, and I wouldn't be able to close either of them. It always give the same error msg...

Interface\AddOns\WIM\Sources\TabHandler.lua:423:
attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

I have no idea how to fix it, but I can't be reloading my UI multiple times every time I get on. I love the add-on and find it nearly impossible to PM w/out it, but I'm at a loss as to what to do.

I'm having the same problem. As an enchanter, it's absolutely horrid when I've got a bunch of clients lined up for enchants; I use WIM to keep track of who needs help and with what, and it's extremely destructive to business when WIM crashes.
