Description

I figured I'd make a mod to solve the problem. :)

    Awesome fix for *actual* whispers, Dridzt. Small new problem has arisen, however. It only works for real whispers. Now, ANYTIME I hit R to reply to a battle.net whispers, it opens the box like "Tell John Smith:", and lets me type... but when I hit Send, the game tells me John Smith doesn't exist. It's like it's trying to whisper-whisper John Smith, and not battle.net-whisper him.

    I've pushed an alpha (r56) that I think will solve this issue.

    Do me a favor and test it when it shows up Smile

    At the moment the curse packager is acting up, but it should show up here eventually:

    Works flawlessly now.  Thanks a ton!  :)

  • #87

    Ah... thanks for the report.

    I'll look into it but tell me this as I have realID features disabled from account management for my account.

    Without chat addons is the reply functionality similar to regular whispers?

    I mean if you get a battle.net tell, can you hit r /r and reply?

  • #90

    Yes, pushing R to reply to a bnet tell is the same.  See my reply above.  All works great now.  Thanks.

  • #84

    Like others, I have a new error appearing recently. If anyone sends me a tell and I hit my reply key it does like TheSteelPhantom said and shows nothing in the box. However I also get an LUA error. I have disabled all other addons and found that is coming from this one.  Thanks!

    Error occured in: Global

    Sorry about the delay, was busy with other mods and kinda forgot about this issue.

    Should be fixed in 0.4.4-50001 when approved.

    I love this mod and have been using it since Vanilla WoW for raid-leader posts and forcing whispers every time. However, I've noticed that the R-to-reply-without-getting-response function is not working like it used to all the previous years. Instead, if I hit R to keep replying to someone, it opens a blank text-box instead of "Tell Name: _____" automatically.

     It has screwed me up several times because if you type in a blank box and hit send, nothing happens. It sends nowhere. So I have to alt-up-arrow to get my message back, copy/paste it, and Shift-R to actually re-whisper the person what I meant to send them all along.

     I know it's a small issue and may seem trivial, but I've been using this for 7 years now and got used to it one way. Now it's broke, and I'm in shambles. :P

     Here's a screenshot of what it's doing: http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/2752/0001dt.jpg

  • #79

    i'm haveing a problem i never had before 4.3 , i use my own sounds that i add to the chat sounds folder & add to list as i have for a while , but since 4.3 and the latest chat sounds update , 3 of the sounds work fine , the other wont work properly , when i select the sound file for g chat for instance every time someone types in chat i get this ear pierceing screech instead of my sound , i have tried checking the sound out of wow and it works fine , i have tried re nameing the files , setting the files on other choices (instead of gchat , i tried wisp or officer etc) but the same files wont work , i can set the 3 that work to anything and they are fine , i even tried re installing the mod and setting it up again  with the same result

    i have done this for a while and it always worked perfectly in the past

    TY for any help

    I'm having a problem. If someone has their or status up, and they talk, the sound does not play. It may only be a problem for custom channels, I'm not sure.
  • #78
    Well I found the problem, which you probably already new. You specifically silenced them with this line:
    0 then return end
    But I don't know why. I modified the line to:
    0 then return end
    and it's working fine for me. I saw the comment earlier about people not being informed of afk status, but I've not experienced that problem since changing the line.
  • #75
    I posted before about having to turn up the sound effects to hear Chatsounds. You then posted later that that was not fixable due to Blizzard's new way of doing things. I would like to say that something must have changed because PowerAuras is now able to play on the master channel instead of the sound effects channel. And, yes, I have tested this to make sure they were correct. So, if they can do it, then I am curious if you have the ability to do it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
  • #76
    Yes that is a recent change and I will probably put it in.
