[Guest] [Hentaya]: Good thing the shoutbox doesn't have timestamps.
[Guest] [ravensong]: Is WIM going to be updated for the new patch? It gets a LUA error every time people log on bnet or pst me, because "
[Guest] [ravensong]: "surname" is now a nil value.
[Guest] [Dethedrus]: Since WiM is obviously quite dead, is there ANYTHING else out there that even comes close to replicating it's functionality?
[Guest] [Harshmage]: So the "surname" can be removed from the realID detection, in WIM.lua
[Guest] [Harshmage]: but fixing the tutorial popup and other errors is probably not going to happen without a major rework
[Guest] [menace97]: quite dead?
[Guest] [Nytetears]: I am trying out tell track I wish WIM would update I much prefer it but there are too many errors to try and use it now
[Guest] [Erudan]: Wim is being updated on Curse.
[Guest] [Chiaki]: Hello guys! I'm the one who did the German translation of WIM. The translation is somewhat old so tell me where to provide a new version .
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: Check out my new post in the General Discussion. Please report any errors as I can't check them myself.

OK here is the "improved" version.

download here

working on improvements will post when done.

I updated the icons to include the new Monk Crest and changed the GM icon to look more like what you see ingame when a GM talks to you "BLIZZ"

1st image is the old icons second is the new icons.

updated with the change to line 478 in ChatEngine.lua

Monk icon included

I noticed that the Monk stuff hadnt been added to WIM so I decided to give it a crack

The download only contains the files that I have made changes to please copy the WIM folder in the .zip over your one. DO NOT DELETE YOUR WIM FOLDER THIS WOULD BE BAD!!!

Monk WIM

Please test.

with the Diablo 3 in beta and the new name feature being added to bnet i think WIM is going to need some serious TLC.

Here's the comparison from the original image i used to the new one

             Original                        New



as you can see the new image is much cleaner.

glad you like them.

With the Diablo 3 beta coming soon (hopefully announced at BlizzCon) maybe we should look into getting WIM ready for it and i think it should start with the Icon

I was looking at the Battle.net website and i noticed this



i did some editing and manged to get this



added it to class_icons.tga (the image here is png)

Edit i know the image is very rough if someone with better GIMP (photoshop) skillz can make it look better please do



then added the codes for the image to work in the skins.lua

Code:

               druid = {0, 0, 0, .25, .25, 0, .25, .25},
                hunter = {.25, 0, .25, .25, .5, 0, .5, .25},
                mage = {.5, 0, .5, .25, .75, 0, .75, .25},
                paladin = {.75, 0, .75, .25, 1, 0, 1, .25},
                priest = {0, .25, 0, .5, .25, .25, .25, .5},
                rogue = {.25, .25, .25, .5, .5, .25, .5, .5},
                shaman = {.5, .25, .5, .5, .75, .25, .75, .5},
                warlock = {.75, .25, .75, .5, 1, .25, 1, .5},
                warrior = {0, .5, 0, .75, .25, .5, .25, .75},
gm = {.25, .5, .25, .75, .5, .5, .5, .75},
blank = {.5, .5, .5, .75, .75, .5, .75, .75},
                deathknight = {.75, .5, .75, .75, 1, .5, 1, .75},
-- blank = {0, .75, 0, 1, .25, .75, .25, 1},
-- blank = {.25, .25, .25, 1, .5, .75, .5, 1},
d3 = {.5, .75, .5, 1, .75, .75, .75, 1},
                sc2 = {.75, .75, .75, 1, 1, .75, 1, 1}

as you can see with the above code i organized it to match the image location and added in the placement of the last 2 icons (not needed though)

Edit: updated with cleaner DIII image view new post for comparison.

yeah my photoshop skills (i use GIMP) are not 1337 and my lua is very amatuer but i can figure it out if i try, with your 1337 PS skills you think you could design some kick ass class themed skins for WIM? so they kinda match the new icons?

yeah it was a simple matter of adding updating the skins and changing one word in the file, on the downside the Blizzard, Speech Bubble, and SC2 icons will show up weird but i countered that by putting the circle border on the icons.

I updated the class icons in WIM here is screen shot and a download link for them



DOWNLOAD just over right your WIM folder with this one it only has the new icons and the required change to put them infront of the border.

What do you think?

I added all the new class icons to WIM heres a screen shot

I thought it was time the emoticons in WIM got some TLC so i scoured the interwebs looking for suitable replacements (which alone took many hours) and after i found them i had to edit, resize, remove background, saveas PNG and convert to BLP (BLP files are ALOT smaller than TGA).

After all my hard work here is what i have

In order form Left to Right, Top to Bottom. angel, angry, bear, beer, biggrin, blush boom, brokenheart, brow, callme, coffee, cool cry, devil, doh, drunk, duck, dull dumb, dumbstruck, eat, envy, evil, finger flex, flower, glass, heart, hi, hihi kiss, martini, mmm, money, mooning, nervous ninja, no, ohh, phone, puke, rain rock, sad, sealed, smile, smoke, speechless tired, wait, wasntme, wink, yes, zipper

Old Emoticons

New Emoticons

If anyone is interested here is a link

Emoticons.zip

Paste the Emoticon folder and Skins.lua inside your World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\WIM\Skins folder.

Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas for new emotes post them with a link to the emote.

Its now 4:33am time for bed.
