How to use ?

Just type /chatmod in game and use the GUI or /chatmod ? for command line options.
There are some additional Commands which can be used. In general each GUI Command
is also available by commandline but not every commandline option is toggleable by the UI.

To keep this short I only write down the commands which are not accessible by the GUI.
Each command have to be passed to Chatmod as paramenter /chatmod <parameter> for
example to pass the timestamp command to Chatmod you have to type in /chatmod timestamp


/chatmod timestamp   

This command alow to customize the timestamp. It is neccessary to provide a
2nd parameter which is interpreted as the Timestamp. If you leave this 2nd par.
empty the timestamp is disabled. Example: /chatmod timestamp help
this help will popup a screen with some hints how to configure the timestamp.
Example:    /chatmod timestamp #FF0000$h:$m
Result:        10:23

Available Format Strings are:

$h

Hour in 24h format

$t

Hour in 12h format

$m

Minute

$s

Second

$p

AM / PM

#XXXXXX

Html Color Code


Timestamps can be disabled by entering: /chatmod timestamp

/chatmod clear     or     cls

This commands clear every visible chatframe.

/chatmod initchan <channelname>

Since 1.11 wow set the last joined channel as default channel for startup. With this command
you can set any channel as default channel. The specified <channelname> will be initialized at
the loading process. Tip: Casesensitive!

 

ChatSound Feature

Since 1.05 beta 3 it is possible to setup own mp3 files as sound notification event sounds. You can do this
by replacing the 5 existing mp3 in the subfolder /audio/ in the Addons/ChatMOD/ Directory. This can be
normal mp3s of your choice. You can setup them later in the game by entering the ChatSound menue in the
ChatMOD GUI by typing /chatmod

The chatframe Scrolldown Button

After requested by several users ChatMOD  now adds a button to the chatframe which is only visible if you
have scrolled up in the window. If you click this button you automaticaly going down. Time to time on some
Clients the button is set to the middle of the screen. But this is not a huge problem you can move the button
individualy like you wish. Simple hold down the <CTRL> Key and drag the button to the Postition you want.
After you stop draging and klick on the button this position is saved and will be restored each time your
UI loads. This is save per Charackter .

Mousewheel Chatscrolling

With Chatmod you are able to use your Mousewheel to scoll the Chatwindow:

MOUSE-WHEEL-UP:             1 line up
MOUSE-WHEEL-DOWN:     1 line down
<SHIFT>    MOUSE-WHEEL-UP:     3 lines up
<SHIFT>    MOUSE-WHEEL-DOWN:     3 lines down
<CTRL>    MOUSE-WHEEL-UP:     Jump to top
<CTRL>    MOUSE-WHEEL-DOWN:     Jump to Bottom

If you found a Bug or have a Featurerequest please use the provided Form on my Website to Submit this.
You don't have to register, you can submit Bugs / Requests Anonymous if you want to. Please use this Form
because for me it is hard to recheck every Addonwebsite day by day and browsing the comments, writing down,
checking and finaly do the work. Because this Addon is, like all other WoW Addons too, developed in the
sparetime of a hobby programmer I don't want to stick in support and concentrate on the actual thing.
