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.)

Is it possible for you to (make an option to) save the windows that remained active (visible or not) when you last logged out?

That way, when I log out due to being AFK, I can see the whispers I received when I log back in.

If you /AFK, all whispers should be saved and marked as unread, so when you logout from inactivity and you miss something you can read it when you log back on.

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?

dito! same here!

the error is not WIM's it's a problem with the Ace WhoLib so any addon that uses it will break, does so for Karma too. I would suggest going to WoWAce.com and get the wholib from there, not sure it will fix it, but information can be found there

love this addon, have used it as long as I can remember but never came across this until I was trying to build a different UI for each character. I have the WIM button detached and movable where ever I want, problem is every time I switch to a new character the button stays in place, and I have to move it on login for each character. I created a temp fix by putting in my own little OnLoad script, but could this be put in next release?

Looks like the last patch may have messed up the external links we can generate from right clicking in the chat box. They are getting cut off.

Does this add-on work with Chatter or ChatMOD? (I love the sounds for each channel, especially since I'm alt+tabbed so often.)

my WIM "whisper" sound no longer works in-game ever since the patch. I deleted the WIM folder in the interface folder and reinstalled WIM which fixed it but only temporarily.

Looking for an addon that will auto log chats and saves the chat log on the local computer. When I login to wow I want the autologging to already be running. Does WIM addon do this?
