I have a brilliant idea, let's do updates but not fix party chat. I know, I'm smart!

Noticed that monks have not yet been added to the Constants.lua Classes section, worked it out after hours of tugging at my own hair when trying to get the monk class colour and icon to show while skinning WIM :P

classes[L["Monk"]] = { color = "00ff96", tag = "MONK", talent = {L["Brewmaster"], L["Mistweaver"], L["Windwalker"]} };

Also the image coordinates for skinners / people who wish to update the class_icons.tga manually, this is relative to the area below the Blizzard logo and to the left of the Diablo III icons on the default class_icons.tga :)

monk = {.25, .75, .25, 1, .5, .75, .5, 1},

Also, how can I implement the string.upper / strupper function to change the style of the name in the WIM window to uppercase, as far as I can tell a skins LUA file has no control over what the output will look like, but I could be wrong seeing as it can change the guild info :\

With this, chat group without LFG don't work :(

No solution.

With _G.UnitExists, chat group in LFG works but in normal group no.

With UnitExists, chat group in LFG don't work but in normal group yes.

:( :(

Weird... that was a complete shot in the dark. Hopefully this change will find its way into the next update.

I tried in r339 your solution and don't work.

Read in chat group in LFG is impossible and I must desactivate WIM.

I have party chat semi working with the below edit. For me the only thing still not working is the number displayed in the window. Replace in Addons\WIM\Modules\ChatEngine.lua

function Party:PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED()
    if(Party.partyWindow) then
        cleanChatList(self.partyWindow);
        local myName = _G.UnitName("player");
        table.insert(self.partyWindow.chatList, myName);
        local count = 0;
        for i=1, 4 do
            if UnitExists("party"..i) then
                count = count + 1;
                local name = _G.UnitName("party"..i);
                table.insert(self.partyWindow.chatList, name);
            end
        end
        Party.partyWindow.widgets.chat_info:SetText(count + 1);
    end
end

with

function Party:PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED()
    if(Party.partyWindow) then
        cleanChatList(self.partyWindow);
        local myName = _G.UnitName("player");
        table.insert(self.partyWindow.chatList, myName);
        count = GetNumSubgroupMembers();
        for i=1, count do
            local name = _G.UnitName("party"..i);
            table.insert(self.partyWindow.chatList, name);
        end
        Party.partyWindow.widgets.chat_info:SetText(count);
    end
end

Party Chat still not working. As I used WIM to get a sound notify for party (and guild) chat I currently cannot get this notifying sound and so I miss the party chat completely. Don't know if this behaviour differs in local parties and dungeon browser, as I currently only use the latter.

Won't post my error as it's the same as the ones below, but I can't even party chat with my own realm on r338. Seems to have fixed nothing.

Not tried these new versions, but does real ID/BattleTag conversations get properly grouped in the history now? I remember they weren't before, and it just said Unknown or so in the history window. Should be possible to group by BattleTag now I think? And would you consider merging your own characters' conversation with the same person, so I don't have to remember which character I was on when I talked to someone, when I want to look something up in the history? Sorry if any of this is implemented already!
