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.)

This might be caused by another addon. I am not able to reproduce the error. Please be specific on steps to reproduce the problem you are having.

Server names are currently done by replacing spaces.

if i "Right-Click for profile links..." and select "WoW Armory" it gives me a faulty link.

E.g. "Tarren mill" is put as "Tarrenmill", but on wow armory its "Tarren-mill".

Using alot due to pugging. Please fix. :)

I might not be understanding correctly. It is currently programmed to replace spaces with dashes for the WoW Armory link.

Is that not how it is done anymore?

Sorry if this has been answered already ..

I am a new WIM user. Is there a way to move the cursor inside edit box using arrow keys? When I press right/left, my character turns.

I'm using Prat3 as well. Arrows work seamlessly with Prat edit box though.

Thanks!

It is a feature of prat. by default WoW blocks the arrow keys so it doesn't interfere as much with your game place. You can navigate the edit box by using the ALT+Arrow Keys

Hi! Thanks for this addon, is really great to organize whispers and trade chat for the selling crafting process in DF :)

I just want to let you know that I have an error on the trade window. I've setted WIM to show trade channel on a different WIM window but when I leave the city it gives me an error on the WIM window "Invalid channel name" and re-entering the city won't join Trade channel back again.

I have to logout and login and type "/join Trade" to be able to see trade channel again.

I've found a bug report on prat addon similar to the same issue. maybe it can help? :)

I believe this is not an error of WIM. WIM doesn't handle the joining of channel. I tested leaving and entering cities with only WIM enabled and I don't seem to be getting this error.

I have lost the ability to assign a keybind to show/hide the WIM window, I had one set and accidentally changed it, but I cannot find the options in the keybind settings again. Seems to have gone away after the UI updates with Dragonflight. Is this known or am I having some other issue? I loved having a keybind to show/hide WIM windows.

This addon, while great, is always out of date.... why?
