[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

I am looking to add full support for WIM 3.0.

As WIM 3.0 currently isnt replacing the default ChatFrame events, everything works with the exception of the whisper events.

Since WIM already includes a level /who and screen function I'm not concerned about that, but I do need a function to hook for adding additional filtering to whispers.

I found I was able to do this by actually unregistering the WIM CHAT_MSG_WHISPER event, filtering inside BAS, then forwarding the event to the WIM main eventhandler function. However I have not included this since im not 100% on effect it will have on WIM in future versions.

Similar API to WIM 2.X would certainly help, however getting whispers from a single non-visible ChatFrame instead of the event would be preferable in terms of compatibilty with addons who arent aware of the conflict.

Gotchya. Well I worked on something new today. And I think it applies very well to what you're talking about now.

I wrote a library called LibChatHandler-1.0. I am currently testing it within the closed beta of WIM. I am bumping your account so you can access the forum for WIM's beta.

LibChatHandler's goal is to create a model control view (MCV) approach to chat. Lets break it down...
Model - The actual Chat system/chat events.
Controller - Delegate methods for events
View - the actual event being delivered.


I am going to write some documents on the control tomorrow. It isn't 100% complete. I will be adding to it as i complete implementing it into WIM. Then I will pitch the idea to the addon community, and hopefully will start adding it to their addons. In theory, if everyone chat addon uses it, all chat addons should get along together.

I'll be back tomorrow with some more info.

[Bangerz]

That certainly sounds promising, but wouldnt it be easier (from a compatibility point of view) to have the 'Model' as just the default game chat handling system?
You can then use the control system per addon to get the desired output to 'view'.

[Pazza]

i accounted for that

[NachoNut]

i accounted for that

classic comeback!

[Pazza]

Thank you for that Nacho... I appreciate your noobness to bring a smile to my face day in and day out
