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.)

"WIM has detected that you are playing on a private server. Some servers can not process ChatAddonMessages. Would you like to enable them anyway?"

I get this error when someone not in my friends list messages me.

(FYI: This last sentence (only) is a HotFix from Decursive to prevent a C stack overflow in the new Blizzard error handler and thus giving you the opportunity to send this debug report to the author of the problematic add-on so he/she can fix it)

I've been getting the same error ever since I installed the 3.3.3 release. 3.3.2 still runs fine if you can ignore the in-game "NEW UPDATE AVAILABLE!!" everytime you log a character.

Although your error log gave me an idea...

Cross faction communication is against WoW TOS. Thus this option will never be instituted.

I like this Addon, but have a question about it.
Is it possible to turn off the regular chat and use this one instead ? (like Bartender does with Blizzard Castbar area.
Is it possible to lock the Chatboxes somewhere on screen ??

Thanks. Finmakin (hellfire)

Please consider adding a sort of answering machine functionality. It doesn't need to playback a automated message, but when you're AFK and the game auto logs out, it's nice to see who sent you messages while you were AFK and what they were.

I love this addon, but patches have a nasty habit of wiping all of my history and resetting my settings. Could you tell me where the logs are kept so I can make copies before they go? 3.3.3 was the 3rd or 4th time this has happened.

Thank you for the addon by the way =).

This may not be the right answer, but did you make sure you don't have some sort of weird filter setup under Whispers > Filtering?

Love this addon, been using it for about 2 years now, and haven't had a problem til it's latest update (3.3.3). Every time I get an incoming whisper, swatter pops with an error saying:
Message: ...s\WIM\Libs\LibChatHandler-1.0\LibChatHandler-1.0.lua line 227:
attempt to call method 'GetName' (a nil value)

Resulting in the whisper being blocked. Not sure of the background /who is causing it, but would be my first guess given the "GetName" line.

Anyone know where I can change the coding to resolve this?

This addon right now is very buggy and causes conflicts with pretty much everything.

why are you spamming that message into all the addon pages. It makes no sense and doesn't pertain to this addon. Don't post unless you have something productive to add or need help with your download....*spammers*

I love this addon. I have had an issue lately though. I lose my wim windows after I leave a dungeon. I can hear whispers coming in but can't see them anywhere. It only corrects after I log off and back in. After the latest patch for some reason it is worse and just comes and goes at random. I have manually removed it from the folder and reinstalled it several times without luck. I totally wiped my UI and my wtf files thinking it was possible a wow issue with no changes. HELP! I must chat! LOL

It does this sometimes for me too. I saw that there was a dot at the bottom of the screen that when I moused over it it said 'click to resize WIM window'. Try looking for the dot.
