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.)

DBM

I wanted to replace Prat3.0 with WIM but in the end I have ended up using both. By using WIM for Wispers and chat history and Prat for guild chat, other chat and system messages. Its a very cool addon for this and I would like to say THANKS! :-)

Once feature I am having trouble living without is altnames from prat3.0. It oviously still works in normal chat but if a friend or guildy whispers me and WIM grabs it it must prevent Prat from adding the alt name. My mates and guildys seem to crate new toons on an hourly basis and I can never member who is who without this. Is there a way of getting it or something simalar in WIM windows? Even if it was just at the top of the window next to the guild, level, race etc...

THANKS AGAIN!

Not directly from the window (I agree that would be nice) but if you click the history window (little page in the top right of the window) you CAN cut or copy from there(oh you can't be on the "Chat View" tab). :-)

If I'm typing a message. Then I die or someone grabs my insignia and I get sent back to graveyard.. the window closes and what I was typing is gone. Any way to make it stay? Or at least not lose my message?

See if you get the same error with WIM as the only addon loaded. I have never seen this before so I'm assuming it is an addon conflict.

Thanks, after going by my addons enabling first everyone on starting on A, then everyone on B etc. I found out it's Macaroons minimap addon that messed things up!

btw, Love Wim... can't play without it anymore :D

To open 2 wow on a mac, just duplicate the app, not the launcher, and make sure it has the same name as the original app plus a space before the dot.

Original "World of Warcraft.app"
copy "World of Warcraft .app"

@pazza: noticed in the Change Log that you were unable to dual-box on your Mac. I've actually figured out how to do that. Right-click on "World of Warcraft.app" and choose "Show Package Contents", then navigate to MacOS-->World of Warcraft, and double-click on the icon to open a new instance of the WoW client.

This will open a Terminal window, which you will need to leave open until you've exited the second instance of WoW. I find doing this invaluable to A)testing addons I'm developing, B)stealthily booting my wife off the server when she gets uppity.

;P Only joking about B. I like living >.>

Oftentimes when in combat and/or just replying to someone, my chat box will jump to the top of the screen, not at all where i have it set to spawn at.

Other times it will grow the entire vertical length of the screen and take up top to bottom. The only fix for this is to close the window by shift clicking the minimize button.

It also appears in a different location than I set when i get multiple conversations. About a 1/8th of an inch lower.

Any fixes for these problems? Are they known issues?

Love the add on, the jump to the top of the screen thing drives me nuts though.

Actually the issues you mentioned were really old and I have not heard anymore of them. Make sure you are patched up and if still you have a problem, you may disable Expose in /wim

First of all thank you for this amazing addon.

I have a problem though. Sometimes when someone whispers me the WIM window comes up blank. Its recorded in the whisper history and i can see what they said but not shown in the whisper window itself. It appears to happen randomly. Also, whispers that I receive after the blank one from different people are not affected. Once it happens though all whispers from that person are invisible until i reload the UI.

If there is anything else i can do or info i can provide let me know.

Ok... I'm on a private server (Echelonedwow.net) and I can't get WIM to show up... It shows up on the addon page on the character screen, but not when I go onto any of my characters. Any ideas? Is the the private server?

Apparently since the last update(v3 3.2.2) WIM is causing the "You aren't in a party" message again :(
