About Chat Notes

Chat Notes is a small utility that allows you to assign notes to players chat messages. Every Guild, Party, Say, Channel and Wisper, message will have the Chat Note added next to the players name.

This functionality used to exist in PALs, CTPlayerNotes, FriendNotes, GuildOrg. The API's changed enough that most of these don't work and haven't been updated. So I wrote this Addon from the ground up.

The notes appear in between the ( ).

[2: Trade] [Bugsby]: (Steven) WTS 4xSolid Stone
[1: General] [Leroy]: (Very BAD tank) LFG for Gruuls
[4: Guild] [Liltroy]: (Troys Alt) Good morning everyone

This is very helpful when you are in a large guild, with many alts.

  • This Addon uses a single global list of player names, so comments are shared between servers and characters. This may change in the future.
  • Notes that are made in the Friends list, are also read and presented as well.
  • Guild Notes are enabled by default, and can be turned off with /cn off.

Simply right-click on a character's name in the Chat window to bring up the Chat Notes menu, where you can Add/Modify, or Remove a note.

Type "/chatnotes" or "/cn" to display a tiny help.

    Just a version update to get it to work with 4.3

    I just bought the annual pass, so you can be sure I'll have updates for the next release.

    Thank you for updating this addon! I really missed it. I have a small problem though, it doesn't remember the guild notes status. I set guild notes not to show but it reverts to "show" every time I login.
  • #24
    hi can you add a function
    thus the name in the "who" list highlighted in color if they have a note?

    It is very time consuming to click on each player to see if I have added him a note

    you should see if anyone has a notebook, without which he writes something in chatt

    I have a rather strange error shown up. I wrote a chat note in the normal way about someone, and now the name and note show up in brackets every time Local Defence kicks off! It shows like this: *LocalDefence: (dudes-username and note) Stormwind is under attack!* Weird huh!? How on earth have I managed to do that!? I've tried getting rid of it every way I can think of but no luck. Do you think its CN or another add-on or conflict perhaps? (such as VanosKOS?) Any suggestions how to get rid of it without losing my notes!?
    Also, while Im here, a gentle prod about the possibility of a list of everybody you've added? (so you can copy the file in case of disaster or copy/paste the list etc), and also the suggestions made by kurobon below?
    1) Add the chatnote to the player tooltip? Basically, a way to see chatnotes for the players if they don't say anything.
    2) option to suppress chatnotes for members of the current group/raid. Instead of showing the note, it could just show "(*)" to indicate that there IS a chatnote for that player and with #1 in play, we could just hover-over their name to see the chatnote on their tooltip if we wanted to. They'd be some awesome additions =)

    Hey Zaultar
    Thanks for the update and sorry about mumm and rowan.

    I know mumm can't be without her chat notes.

    hehe yea sorry, we get a bit carried away at times (usually by men in white coats, obviously lol). Jax is an old friend (well, lets face it, we're all old now but thats not the point...).

    Seriously though, I think chat notes has to be in my top 3 'must have' add-ons. I recommend it to everyone, cos they'll all find it useful in their own way.

    It would be awesomely delicious if there was some way you could bring up a list of everybody you've got comments for, and the comment. As the ability is there in other places - (the ignore list and Vanos KOS spring to mind as in and out of game examples)- could chat notes take advantage of it at all? - possible/impossible!?
  • #23
    Jax/Row showed me how to get the list I was looking for up out of the Lua file, so I could a: fix the issue I had above, (with Localdefense adopting a chat note it shouldnt have), and b: to copy and save it elsewhere in case of pc disaster! It's actually really easy - just find your chat notes saved variables file in wtf, open it with notepad and... well, edit/copy whatever :) Save and restart game... bingo!
  • #12
    Ya i know a jax too wonder if it's him . Anyway great Addon glad it's been updated :)
  • #14
    yea, rings a bell doesnt it ... I seem to vaguely remember a Jax from Wintergrasp but I have such a bad memory. By the way, do I know you too? Ever run in WG in Hellfire last year by any chance? You might remember me... =D
  • #15
