Addon is currently broken for live/retail/Midnight version of WoW, see my comment from a week ago for the error. Window doesn't pop up either sending or receiving a message, just shoots out the .lua error.

I currently cannot send whispers with WIM. If I right click someone and click whisper, rather than popping up the WIM window, it shows "[personname]:" in the vanilla chat window, and if I send the whisper, they can see it, but my window stays blank, and I cannot see anything they send back.

It would be great if u could change sound for new messages. also a number of unread messages on the icon would be nice. like the whatsapp app icon on phones

WIM is currently blocking my ability to send whispers. Any idea how to fix that?

typing /w playername creates the popup window.

I can type in the window, but pressing Enter no longer does anything. It will not send a message.

I can receive whispers still.

@RealPazza When the latest update was pushed to curseforge, I updated to it, and the issue was fixed.

Request: is there any way to get Community channels into WIM?

You can't see your messages anymore in Classic WoW - SOD when sending whispered to others, it only shows their whispers, but not what you write, please fix this!

@RealPazza this was fixed long ago, ty.

I would like to disable the popup windows for people I invite for layer switch. I haven't found a way with the filters I found, to just block the addon whispers.

Maybe someone has an idea, or you could fix that in the next version? Other than that, perfect addon.

Would be cool if one of the buttons in the WIM windows was to send Bnet tag

Can you search by date (for example all messages u got today)?

Would be nice, if there's a way - if not np (but would still be a highly sought for feature!).

Appreciating the nice addon, keep up the good work!

WIM is blocking instance, party and raid chat when I enter any rated pvp. Have to turn it off to see assignments and in-game calls when I am inside of any rated instance. I hope you can fix this as it is very frustrating. I cannot even see my own chat comments.

@anniefrell I get the following:

3x bad argument #1 to '?' (outside of expected range -2147483648 to 2147483647 - Usage: local accountInfo = C_BattleNet.GetAccountInfoByID(id [, wowAccountGUID]))

Possible fix for this error:

Root cause:

In WIM.lua around line 315, GetBNGetGameAccountInfoByKName() returns a Lua table (all friend info packed via {GetBNGetFriendInfo(i)}), but that whole table gets assigned directly to event.args[13]. WhisperEngine then passes args[13] to GetBNGetFriendInfoByID(), which forwards it to C_BattleNet.GetAccountInfoByID() — which expects a plain number (bnetAccountID), not a table.

-- Change this (~line 315):

event.args[13] = GetBNGetGameAccountInfoByKName(event.args[2]) or 0;

-- To this:

local bnInfo = GetBNGetGameAccountInfoByKName(event.args[2]);

event.args[13] = (bnInfo and bnInfo[1]) or 0;

bnInfo[1] is the bnetAccountID (first return value of GetBNGetFriendInfo), which is what GetBNGetFriendInfoByID actually expects.

Optional safety guard in GetBNGetFriendInfoByID (~line 150):

luafunction GetBNGetFriendInfoByID(id)

if type(id) == "table" then id = id[1] end

if type(id) ~= "number" or id < -2147483648 or id > 2147483647 then return end

local accountInfo = _G.C_BattleNet.GetAccountInfoByID(id) or {};

Reproducible whenever a BNet friend sends a whisper (CHAT_MSG_BN_WHISPER / CHAT_MSG_BN_INLINE_TOAST_ALERT).

The fix fixed the error for me
