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.)

I don't know if this has been reported but I experience double-linking when I shift click something to go in a message. It puts in it twice, as well as not showing any text that I type before the link, only text afterwords does it show. I only started to experience this for about a month or so.

Bugreport: the party leader doesn't go in the party frame, any chance to fix it, I think it's a new issue with 3.3,

I get that large question-mark button too, but clicking it only brings up the same Lua errors.

Blizzard made some changes to their tutorial system. I've found that disabling tutorials made the questionmark button go away as well as most of the WIM LUA error messages. It still doesn't capture the first party leader or guild message as far as making the chat window available from the minimap button/TitanPanel icon but it otherwise seems to work fine for me.

Annoying thing with WIM that I've noticed recently:

After logging in to WoW, if I left-click somewhere on the ground, or a wall, or any non-interactive part of the world, I get LUA errors identical to the ones Imarrero posted. When this happens, I can easily dismiss the error box, but something else pops up that I can't dismiss.

A large, round button with a question mark in it appears near the bottom-center of my screen. It highlights when I hover the cursor on it, but clicking it does absolutely nothing. It covers up some of my buttons in my G15 addon, but I cannot make this thing go away. Anyone know how to stop this, short of not using WIM until it's fixed?

Have you checked to make sure that you do or do not have "Right Click to Open Unread Messages" on. If you do, then you need to unchech that, or hold the shift key with mouse to move to the mini-map icon.

The addon stillw orks well, you just have to enable "load out of date" or edit the *.toc file manually with a text editor and set the version to 30300 instead of 30200.

I just figured out the incompatibility that causes WIM to link twice and remove text written before a link. It is Underachiever, a friend that uses WIM just added it and now he is linking things twice to me. Hope this can be resolved, because it's fairly annoying :P

Getting error when using Altoholic.

Altoholic puts chat messages in to the chat box and this errors WIM. so bad that after a couple times my computer will crash.

Worked fine till 3.3

Thanks
