Zolan's Chat Notifications  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 2.12
by: zolan, Harven
NOTE: Zolan has passed ownership onto Harven for future updates.

What does it do?

This addon makes a sound when you receive a chat you are interested in.

For each of the following things, you can choose a sound from a list to play (or no sound to disable) if:
  • You receive a chat in the following channels: Whisper, Party, Guild 1 through 5, Say, Zone or Yell. (individual settings per channel)
  • Someone says your current character name, or your account name.
  • A friend has said something in any chat channel.
  • A specified key word or phrase has been said.

Additionally, you can...
  • Have it NOT play a sound if you are the sender.
  • Specify a blacklist of players you don't want it to make a notification for.

Since we aren't allowed to add our own sound files, it uses a handful of sounds from the game.

How do I configure it?

You can find the settings in SETTINGS->Zolan's Addons.
In the Zolan's Chat Notifications Settings section you will find everything you need. It is pretty straight forward and the tooltips on mouse overs has even more detailed information.

What are the future plans?
  • Increase the number of sounds that you can use.
  • Possibly add a separate visual notification if the desire is high enough.

Donation Hall Of Fame!

These people have donated gold to Zolan! (This list encompasses all donations from all of my addons.)
  • choekstr - 11,000 gold! Yeah... The comma is in the right place. At one time this was the largest donation out there. Since then Awesomebilly got a donation for 15,000 so now I await a rich fan to make me #1 again. Aside from the donation choekstr has given me tons of ideas for features to add to my addons as well as inspring a couple addons.
  • Guardianrule - 500 gold! My very first donation I ever received. Sooooo nice to be appreciated for the amount of time I've put into making my addons for you guys!!!!
  • ironllama - 500 gold! And another! You guys are friggin' awesome! Makes me feel like addon writing is worth it and helping people!
  • jchudz - 500 gold! And another! Really happy that people enjoy my work!
  • luizterra23 - 2,000 gold! And another! I am a happy man!
  • Greiger - 2,000 gold! Just when I thought the well was dried up... WOOOOOOOOO!!!

Who is Zolan thankful to?

This isn't everyone that has helped but this is the major players that I'd like to call out.
  • Blythe - I had wanted to make an addon like this and Blythe beat me to it by releasing ChatAlert. I asked her if I could use her code as a basis for my addon and she graciously gave me permission. Without this as a starting point, it would have been overwhelming to figure out how addon development worked. Anyway, she is amazing for letting me use her code and generally just awesome. Her addon ChatAlert is still being actively developed and has differences with my addon so if you are unhappy with mine, feel free to check hers out. Hers has a feature to make sound when a friend logs in and out which I do not plan to add to this addon.
  • The Arcane Scripters Guild - I can't list everyone in the guild but I will call out Xrystal and Seerah as they have helped me a lot. I've yet to ask a question and not get an answer from someone. I'm very thankful that I was allowed to be part of the group.
  • YOU - That's right. Thank you for using the addon! Seeing the number of downloads and favorites encourages me to do more work.

My Other Addons:

All of my addons are intended to be used together, so if you like one, you might want to install others. Here's the list.

Zolan's Chat Notifications - Makes audio queues on incoming chat that you don't want to miss. It is extremely configurable. Please give it a try.
Zolan's Junk Handler - Handles nearly everything you could hope for when it comes to junk. Including, tracking user junk marking and repeating it. Marking certain things like ornate items or 'icky food'. Then selling all junk upon visiting a vendor. It even has the ability to destroy junk under certain conditions. You really should give it a shot. It is, in my biased yet honest opinion, a pretty darn good addon.
Zolan's Auto Repair - Automatic repairing of your gear upon visiting a vendor.
Zolan's Slash Commands - A couple handy slash commands for doing stuff.
Zolan's Anchors Away - Blocks that annoying 'Too many anchors processed.' error. It is kind of like cold medicine. It doesn't fix the problem, it just makes the symptoms go away.

Known Problems:

None, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.

Final Notes:

If you are interested in having visual notifications, ask for it in the comments. If you think you have better onomatopoeias than I do, feel free to add them to the comments as well.

v1.7
Updated LibAddonMenu to fix 2 small submenu issues.

v1.6
Updated for the new API changes.

v1.5
Nothing too exciting. I revamped the config screens of my 3 biggest addons (the other 2 tomorrow probably). They had been taking up a ridiculous amount of vertical space and the thought of adding more features and making that list made me sick. Now they are much nicer. Check 'em out.

v1.4
Fixed an issue that caused keyword stuff to break when you use lua pattern characters.

v1.3
Fixed an aesthetic bug that made this app report that it was the Junk Notification app. Damn you copy-pastos!!!

v1.2
NEW FEATURE: A user defined blacklist of accounts to not play sounds for.
This release is nearly a complete rewrite as this was my first addon and I didn't know the best way to write addons in at the time. I have completely restructured the code and it is far more maintainable now, but that means there are potentials that some new bugs got added in there. Please let me know if you find any. I tested it pretty thoroughly but there is only so many times you can ask your buddies to send you a chat on various channels or with various words, etc. :)

v1.1
A version bump and repackaged to make ZAM's Minion not so cranky.

v1.0
Calling this version 1.0.
Added a few more sounds.
Fixed a bug that existed when whispering while having chat notifications on for your outgoing messages.
Made the sound dropdowns sorted.

v0.6
Fixed long-standing bug that was causing outgoing whispers to make a sound even when you had notifications turned off for yourself.
Added key word/phrase notifications.
Added notification if someone says your name in chat.

v0.5
Added a few new sounds. More to come. (I'm picky)
Made the config window pretty.
Fixed a potential problem on the backend that only occurs when debug is turned on.

v0.4
Unfortunately this change will reset your settings one more time but for good reason. You can now select 'Disable' for no sounds or a sound from a list of sounds for each chat channel. This should hopefully also fix a problem with settings not being remembered that was mentioned in the comments.

Please let me know if you want certain sounds or if you find problems. I will try to fix them promptly.

v0.3
Change to the back-end only but is leading up to me (and eventually you) to be able to assign different sounds to each type of chat. This update will, unfortunately, reset your config. This should not be a common occurrence but was a necessity in this case.

v0.2
The first working version.

v0.1
Was totally broken and Zolan hangs his head in shame.

I get error messages from the addon, plus there are no settings showing up where they should be. The addon name appears in the "Settings" section, but there's nothing in there. Anyone else having the same problem?

Indeed. Something got really messed up between it working for me and me uploading it. The new version 0.2 should actually work. Really sorry about that.

I'm getting the SFX on tells, from my sent chats. I have option to turn that off selected. Is there a way to make my tells silent and only hear the SFX on receiving them? Thanks!

Looking into this now. I have a new update coming out soon that fixes a handful of things and probably that problem too.

I came here to finally mention this as it has been going on for the last few versions and I couldn't believe others weren't experiencing it. Glad you are looking into it and thanks for a great add-on!

Ok, I have a few things for anyone that is having this problem to check.

DOUBLE CHECK YOUR SETTINGS:

Make sure this is off: Settings->Zolan Addons->On My Chats
If not, then that is hopefully your problem. Turn it off and try stuff out.

MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE A CONFLICTING ADDON:

The only one I know of that may conflict is ChatAlert by Blythe. ChatAlert and Zolan's Chat Notifications both share a great deal in common. You should only have one or the other installed. If you happen to have both, remove one of them. I would, of course, appreciate you sticking with my addon but ChatAlert is also a good option. If this was the case you are probably fixed. If not, read on.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION:

First, make sure you have the latest version. I unfortunately don't display the version (will add that in future releases) Regardless, the latest version, as of this post, is the first and only version that has a pretty, colorful settings screen. So go to Settings->Zolan's Addons. If you see gold/blue/green/red/orange etc then you have the latest version. Jump to "POSSIBLE FIX". If you do not have the latest version continue reading.

GETTING LATEST VERSION:

If you install this addon via Minion, I have received one report so far that my addon isn't actually getting updated. I recommend doing a manual install to see if that fixes your problem. I do not know if this is a minion problem or the way I have packaged my addon. I have a post in the forum about it.

To do a manual install, try: Manual Install Instructions

Make sure to /reloadui or restart the game and then see if you now have pretty colors in the settings. If not I'm not sure what is happening, but feel free to post back here and I can try to help.

POSSIBLE FIX:

A possible fix is to nuke your settings. (I'm writing this away from my gaming machine so sorry if these directories aren't 100% accurate but they are close and I'm sure you can figure it out.

Delete your settings. (I recommend you close the game all the way to the desktop before doing this.)

Find the following file and delete it.

Windows:
C:\Users\< username >\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\SavedVariables\Zolan_ChatNotifications.lua

Mac:
~/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/SavedVariables/Zolan_ChatNotifications.lua

Restart your game and you'll be back at the default settings. Go back to the settings and verify it is all pretty and colorful now. You should be able to disable the 'On My Chats' and hopefully your problem is fixed.

If it still isn't pretty and colorful you have something really strange going on. Post back and I'll see if I can help.

REPORT BACK:

Please post back here to let me know if your problem is not fixed or if your problem is fixed and what your solution was.

Thanks and sorry for those of you having problems. I promise it works for lots of people.

Future request

Hi Zolan,

very many thanks for this nice and helpfull addon! It is really saving me during gameplay, so my guilds are not angry with me :-)

I did not find the feature or request activated so i'm asking in this comment.

What about implementing another feature:
If your current character name is mentioned inside a chat tab a sound could be played.
This helps to filter all guild messages e.g. or all zone messages so you only have to react on those, where your name was mentioned.
Maybe this can be done by help of some of the anti spam plugins, as they allready have this kind of text message filtering by regular expressions as I've seen.

The best way would be a standard checkbox + sound selection for your current charactername in any chat tab = play sound.
And in addition another edit box where we can enter regular expression patterns maybe, to play a sound if the pattern is found in any chat tab.

Tahnks for the nice addon and keep it alive please!

Regards
Baertram

Well Baertram...

It is funny that you mention that because I was up until 3AM working on both of these exact features. I will hopefully have a release by the end of the day. Likely later in the day.

Thanks for using the addon!

All,

While working on some extra features last night I finally did find a bug. I am so sorry. The fix should be in my release by the end of the day (likely later in the day).

For some reason when you send a whisper, it reports that the chat is 'from' the person it is being sent 'to'. That makes tons of sense... :P

Anyway, I'm so sorry for missing that in the previous reports of this bug. I do have a fix for it and it will be up today unless I'm hit by a car or something else horrible happens to me.
