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.)

Hi. Installed the addon yesterday and I think it's just great. As I am a guildleader of a rather big guild I think it's great to have a seperate window for the guildchat. There is some functions I havent been able to find yet though:

I would like the windows to stay under everything else. If I'm using Ah with bags up for instance, if then someone talks in the guildchat the window will pop up over everything else, I could make it not pop up at all, but I don't want that.

I would also want the achievements earned by the guildmembers aswell as when people log on and off to show in the guildwindow.

And I would like the windows to dissapear completely if there is noone talking in it for an x amounts of second

And last, I would like to type in the last window I talked before, automaticly when pressing "enter" (not in the regular old wow chat-window. To type in the addons window I have to press it with my mouse).

What of these things can be done?

there are many bugs (although not major ones) that exist in which we're annoyed by/talking about.

Pazza, with such an abrupt and extended leave of absence I fear that something detrimental has happened in your life. I hope that isn't the case. Either way I wanted to thank you for your contribution in WIM. It was one of the most essential addons made and that is why so many people are clamoring for an update. I wish for your return as well, and hope that my guess is wrong and we find you well when you do.

LOL something did happen.. It's called Tax season :P

Check wimaddon.com's forums for an update. Pazza already posted about putting out an update to fix the 2 main bugs in WIM.

Wim is not dead, it's just filing it's taxes.

i love your addon. been a WIM user from the start. there is a little inconvenience that i have been having lately that was wondering if you could address for me.

in a chat window itself, when i click the history button it isnt opening to that person's history. just simply opens the viewer then i have to scroll though and find find the person i am looking for. i am not sure if this is how it is intended to work, but is there any way you could make clicking that little icon in someone's chat window open to that specific person's history? i think this is a great idea, just sayin :) thanks.

Got sick of waiting for an updated so I switched to Cellular http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/cellular.aspx

It's similar and most importantly, its updated.

Cellular is crap compared to WIM though. Not nearly as functional or as many options/settings to configure

Thanks for making this mod its awesome! The ONLY thing I think that could improve this, is the option to not automatically begin replying when someone whispers you. A lot of the time when someone whispers me ill be moving and have to stop and delete a bunch of "wwwwwwwww's", lol.

There is a setting in the mod that allows you to prevent WIM from taking control of the screen when you receive a new message. Check under window behavior in the settings menu.
