About zChatWindow

zChatWindow is designed to give you a little more control over the default chat frame.

InputBox is movable from top to bottom.
Channel Selection Icon is hidden.
Looking for group icon is hidden.
/rl now causes the UI to reload.

Commands

/zchat or /zc will list all the commands in game.
Valid Options for /zchat:
font [number] -- Changes the default chatframe's font
scale [number] -- Changes the font size
stamp [on|off] -- toggles the timestamp on or off
input [top|bottom] -- where to display the input box
reset -- resets to the default settings

currently /zchat stamp off and /zchat input bottom both require you to reload the ui for them to take effect. /rl will do the trick.

Installation Guide

Exit "Warhammer Online" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
Verify your WAR Installation Path
That is where you are running WAR from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your Warhammer Online folder. (default is C:\Program Files\Warhammer Online\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start Warhammer Online

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of WAR. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

Hm, seems to be some chat lag as of this date. Any way to fix it?

Quick fix for the input text being well below the box,

using Notepad or some editor, open this file:
\Interface\Addons\zchatwindow\core.lua

edit line 41,

change from:
WindowAddAnchor( windowName.."TextInput", "right", "EA_TextEntryGroupEntryBoxChannelLabel", "left", 10, 35 )
to:
WindowAddAnchor( windowName.."TextInput", "right", "EA_TextEntryGroupEntryBoxChannelLabel", "left", 10, -4 )

Likewise. I am also experiencing problems with text defaulting back to bold after I hand in a quest or pretty much do anything in game.

Pity, I really liked the idea of a Prat-like WAR mod.

quick fix for the bold font.
in the zChatWindow folder, Open the core.lua
and change these lines (28 to 31)

LogDisplaySetShowTimestamp(EA_ChatTabManager.Tabs[i].name.."TextLog", true)
LogDisplaySetFont(EA_ChatTabManager.Tabs[i].name.."TextLog", "font_clear_medium_bold")
TextEditBoxSetFont(windowName.."TextInput", "font_clear_medium_bold")
LabelSetFont(windowName.."ChannelLabel", "font_clear_medium_bold", WindowUtils.FONT_DEFAULT_TEXT_LINESPACING)

and change them to

LogDisplaySetShowTimestamp(EA_ChatTabManager.Tabs[i].name.."TextLog", true)
LogDisplaySetFont(EA_ChatTabManager.Tabs[i].name.."TextLog")
TextEditBoxSetFont(windowName.."TextInput")
LabelSetFont(windowName.."ChannelLabel", WindowUtils.FONT_DEFAULT_TEXT_LINESPACING)

Bloody Hell. every single time I try this addon. Fonts are BOLD.
ive changed it countless times.

Moonball has the right idea. Chat bar on top thats all nothing else.

someone hack this thing to death or something. This is driving me CRAZY.

and yea.. STILL no slash commands and yes. Libslash installed as well and updated.

Anyone know of an addon or a hack of this one that just gives the input box on top? That's all I want, input box on top.

cuaxli said

- addon shows "zChat" and "zChatWindow" active - it it intended?
- input box is bugged, type area is below the actual input box atm

The input box at the top is bugged out for me. When I hit enter and type, the words show up below the box instead of inside of it as I type.

To further elaborate on the font changing bug:

1) R-Click chat->tab options->font
2) change the font to something else
3) either say something or wait for something to appear in chat
4) chat should revert back to the original font (Myraid Pro SemiExt - Medium)

A few things I noticed, first the text entry box appears on the latest tab I created it seems, wich is odd, also text appears slightly bellow the box itself. Finaly it seems that it will only take the first channel I type in and keep that one forever so if I first say hi to my guild the default channel will always be guild no matter if I send tells, party chat etc.

another odd thing I found is that even manually moving the text entry box it will still relocate itself back to where it was shortly after.
