These can be set by Guild Leader/Officers in the Guild Description, if set there this add-on will use the abbreviation specified. If NOT set, then a default will be used that is derived from the guild name. As with all other features, this can be turned off if the functionality is undesirable. At some point in the future I'll make it user-configurable. As for some player names not being properly substituted, I will make another pass at it, I do have a member with a dash in their name but they haven't been online for me to test. If people who are affected can get in touch with me in-game it would make fixing and testing go much more quickly. (Probably only take a few minutes to be honest.) Enjoy!

You're welcome

Thanks for the fast response and update. It tried v1.5 today but sadly the problem still does exist. I still see the account name for the dash guy instead of his character name. I'm using the german game client, if that does matter.

I also enjoy being able to select my own colors for each chat.

Cheers

Going to second a need to shorten guild names. I'm in a few with long names, and being able to shorten them to two letters is great in being able to pay attention and read said guild chat.

How about just abbreviating longer guild name? For example, "The Knights who say Ni" could be shortened to, "KwsN". Or some other variant.

I have a question about a feature myself - is there any chance of being able to 'copy' from the chatbox? Or is that not possible/beyond the scope of this addon?

Edit: How about making the chat 'id' a single letter/number? So "Group" becomes "G" (or "P") and "Zone" becomes "Z" etc.

You can still do this using the standard ESO Social settings, which is why it's not done by this add-on. Though I may add color pickers for things that ESO Social does not have any settings for, such as the Timestamp Color (which is currently being derived from the chat channel color you configured in ESO Social.)

I've implemented a fix for players with special characters in their names, I've done testing but my guild only had 1 person with a "_" in their name. I also did some testing in an external LUA interpreter and it appears to work with the characters I believe are valid (including a few declensions allowed for foreign languages.) Chances are good the problem was a dash "-" which is a reserved character for LUA pattern matching. I specifically tested for this as well as other special characters. Let me know how it works out for you.

There is just one problem i encountered: It does not seem to work for account names which contain special characters. In my guild i got a player with a hyphen in his account name and it keeps showing this, not the actual character name in chat. Account names with just normal characters and numbers are fine.

It may be possible, but I don't believe so if ESO does slash command aliasing the way I think it does. I've not actually looked into it yet, but I assume it's the same as WoW. If that's the case you would actually need a faux input frame and the ability to forward input to the chat frame as the default registration wouldn't work (since numerics are used for aliasing.)

As an aside, if it were possible it probably deserves to be its own Add-On dedicated to input processing (despite it seeming Chat-specific, one could argue it's not.)

wilson0x4d Premium Member Forum posts: 6 File comments: 180 Uploads: 10	X4D Chat v1.3 A few of you may appreciate some of the changes incoming with v1.3: * Settings UI (Much Thanks to LibAddonMenu!) * (Optional) Player Name => Character Name in Guild Chat * (Optional) Timestamps with Channel-Based Color * (Optional) Color Stripping * (Optional) Excess Text Stripping (e.g. 'says' 'zone' etc.) Most of the effort here is just figuring out the settings UI. I'll work on optimizing the code in the next update, but will let this sit as-is for a day or two so I can get some feedback. Last edited by wilson0x4d : 04/10/14 at 08:09 PM.

If ESO is running while changing the file, reloadui after the change. This will disable the timestamps.

Awesome, thanks!
