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.)

It works splendid! I have both BigWigs and Autobar too, no problem there. Maybe there is an other addon which causes your errors. :-(

Check your settings. There's an option to not suppress the whispers while in combat.

I currently have an issue where WIM fails to update the level/location/guild/and color of the class. I get a colorless window with just the name and no other information. The update button fails to update etc. This works sometimes, and normally a restart or reload UI will get it working again, but then will fail again. I also noticed when it stops working I am unable to do /who to find anyone. It just states /who request has been added to the queue. Could WIM be spamming the /who channel causing this issue?

Request:
Could a Search History feature be added where you can search all your history for the last hour, day, week, for a phrase.

As well as being able to see whos messaged as well.

I'm just asking because i tend to lead 25man pugs, and i have to close windows, sometimes i wish i hadn't and could find what someone said, or who said it.

Right now i have to sort by the history of everyone whos ever messaged me, manually, 1 person at a time, with maybe 200 people in my histoy list, its not possible.

Anyway, its a request, i'd love to be able to search everyone, and search for people by time. Rather then just being able to search inside a contact.

And yes, fantastic mod.

I was looking for an addon to let me know when someone messaged me, and instead I got this - which is far more perfect then I ever hoped for.

It is sleek and professional looking, have numerous non-intrusive features, appears to have the lowest memory footprint of all the addons I have installed with two IM windows open..

And smilies. I mean, come on.. smilies in WoW? Why not? :)

After only 15 minutes of use, I am confident that this has made it into my list of 'must have' addons!

Er, I really like this, but for some reason, my chat window makes a beep every time someone says something, which gets really annoying in towns. I turned the sound off, and that didn't help, and now I don't know what's up.

Do you ever plan on going back to simply creating a new tab in the chat pane for each person who whispers you? Or making the message window dockable into the chat pane? I loved this addon when it was like that (at least I'm pretty sure it was this addon), but as it is, my screen real estate is simply too precious to give this addon space :(

I think you are mistaking WIM with another addon. WIM never did this.. I think you are referring to WhisperEnchanced? I forget the name.

I have seen this error arise when people us nUI. I thought it was fixed in recent updates of the addon [nUI] make sure you are using the latest version.

Your messaging traffic is being throttled. It isn't a WIM issue per say, but the next update will limit the amount of addon traffic WIM causes. Although WIM doesn't send that much traffic to cause a throttle, using other addons which share a lot of information in conjunction with WIM can cause this. You might want to disable some of the sharing options on some of your addons. That will reduce your lag problem.

Is there an possibilitie to exclude certain wispers.
Some addons (like lootster) make wispers for recieved rolls. Those popup message windows as well.
Can this somehow be disabled? Or ignored by means of putting in a special Message tag at the start of the message or something?
Thanks in advance.

I was a cellular fan, until it was no longer supported. One of the things I like about it was its minimalist chat window. I would love to have all your benefits as well as have a very plain window with only the tabs like the original. Is this possible? I only see color changes in the skins tabs.

You'll need to download some more skins. Check out the community forums on WIMAddon.com
