ChatMentions - DEPRECATED  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 2.1.1
by: Coorbin [More]
ESO ChatMentions Addon



ChatMentions has been integrated into the pChat addon. Please uninstall the standalone ChatMentions and install pChat.

If somehow the current version of ChatMentions works for you, that's great... go ahead and keep using it! But I will no longer support the standalone ChatMentions.

--------

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ!! Version 2.0 and up REQUIRES that you separately install (via Minion, or downloading from esoui.com) the following libraries:

LibAddonMenu
LibStub
LibCustomMenu


This addon can perform any of the following actions whenever your name (or part of your name, or any other custom string you wish) is typed in chat by a user:

- It can play a "ding" sound (the notification sound).
- It can ALL CAPS your name.
- It can change the color of your name.
- It can add an exclamation point icon next to your name.
- (If pChat is disabled) It can underline your name.

Version 1.1 fixes critical bug that caused it not to work correctly.
Version 1.2 eliminates the annoying warning message
Version 1.3 adds a "whole name" feature.
Version 1.4 fixes a Lua error when setting ALL CAPS to OFF.
Version 1.5 removes the libGarfield warning.

Version 2.0 (June 2019): Added support to "Watch" the messages of a user, which will highlight messages sent by someone else whether or not they mention you! This can be enabled by right-clicking a name in the chat window, or by typing /cmwatch followed by the user's @handle. Note that you may need to use /cmwatch Character Name instead of @handle if the watched user is not your friend or in any of your guilds.

Version 2.0 also fixes the case (capital/lowercase) of mentioned words when you have the Capitalize option off. Now the original casing will be preserved.

Most of the configuration is documented by pressing `ESC`, go to `Settings`, `Addons`, then `ChatMentions`. Hover over configuration items for detailed usage details in a tooltip.

However, there are four chat commands:

- `/cmadd <name>` - Add `name` to the *temporary* list of extra names to ping on. This list is deleted when your client exits, when you type `/reloadui`, or possibly when you zone.
- `/cmdel <name>` - Delete `name` from the *temporary* list of extra names to ping on.
- `/cmlist` - Print out the current list of names for which you will be pinged.
- `/cmwatch <name>` - See above release notes for Version 2.0.
v2.0.1 (June 2, 2019)
- I forgot to bundle libGarfield with ChatMentions. Mine is a slight "fork" of the original. Whoops!

v2.0 (June 2, 2019)
-Added support to "Watch" the messages of a user, which will highlight messages sent by someone else whether or not they mention you! This can be enabled by right-clicking a name in the chat window, or by typing /cmwatch followed by the user's @handle. Note that you may need to use /cmwatch Character Name instead of @handle if the watched user is not your friend or in any of your guilds.
- Fixe\d the case (capital/lowercase) of mentioned words when you have the Capitalize option off. Now the original casing will be preserved.

v1.5
- Remove the libGarfield warning.

v1.4
- Fixed a Lua error when setting ALL CAPS to OFF. Thanks to doctordarkspawn for reporting the issue.

v1.3
- Add "whole name only" option so you won't get pinged if you have short names that are used as substrings of frequently used words.

v1.2
- Fix annoying warning message on addon load.
- LibStub updated to v5.

v1.1
- Fix critical bug in initial release with logic for "self-ping".
- Bump version in txt file.

I have released a beta version of what I'm calling "pChat-ChatMentions" for now, which is an attempt to integrate the functionality of ChatMentions into pChat. You can download it here: https://smcnam.me/pChat-ChatMentions-Beta.zip

Eventually I believe Baertram, the maintainer of pChat, will release an official version of pChat that includes the ChatMentions functionality. I do not control his release schedule, however.

Incompatibility with pChat (LibChat3 only)

Hello! I updated pchat this morning and had problems that were enabled in the settings (like hiding brackets, having character name in guild chat ((it was showing @UserID despite my attempts to change it)) and couldn't copy messages)
Say, emote, and group all displayed character names, but still had brackets.

I tried a few older versions, manual installation/minion etc since sometimes files get saved somewhere else, still not fixed, then just disabled everything and slowly started enabling addons again until I ran into the issue again.

I found it was ChatMentions, and tried just disabling the addon itself, still had the issues above, then tried the LibGarfield disabled and still had the bug. I re-enabled Garfield and disabled LibChat3 instead, and it was fixed, so it seems ChatMentions (specifically dependency LibChat3) doesn't allow settings to be adjusted or changed in pchat, or something else is being funky with it.

It was working without issues until this morning, but it's weird that older versions still had the same problems, but I'm not sure how all this works so I thought I'd let you know!

Hope you have a good day!

I posted an update to ChatMentions that includes the patched libChat3 within it. I've done this because Baertram's fixed libChat3 is not available on Minion, since Provision is the owner of libChat3 on Minion and it seems he has dropped off the face of the Earth in terms of supporting his addon code for ESO.

If it turns out that a Minion update arrives for libChat3 that provides the same fix, I will delete libChat3 from the bundled libraries of ChatMentions. Until that time, it stays. I've tested it and confirmed that the fix is correct.

For what it's worth, I didn't see Baertram's post until after I had already debugged and fixed this problem on my own... The problem was due to ESO randomly deciding to change their functionality. They re-wrote all of their chat format strings from zo_strformat() style to string.format() style. Since libChat3 mimics this functionality, it was trying to format the new format strings using the old function, which broke it.

So now the libChat3 problem has been fixed twice and Provision still hasn't (and may never) updated libChat3 "upstream" in Git or Minion. That's why I'll have to continue to bundle libChat3 in ChatMentions for now and support the functionality of it when it breaks.

At least I understand the code I depend on a bit better now. Ensure you're running ChatMentions 2.1.1 or later, and you can delete any copies of libChat3 you may have in your AddOns folder (from Baertram or elsewhere). Everything should just work. If it doesn't, post back here.

Thanks for using my addon.

hi Coorbin,

i dont use Junkee but the reason your addon was breaking the chat was the library libChat3 you bundled within your addon folder.

Baertram the addon (co-)author of libChat2 has already published a fix for libChat3.

Now the chat works like it should again.

I tracked down the problem already, when I had posted. I went through all of my addons, and it was the libraries libChat3 and LibGarfield (since i believe it's main function is to force libChat3 to be enabled, or some such?) causing the issues. I don't recall what the issue was and how it impacted Junkee 2018's function. It's been way too long for me to remember.

I use probably 80+ addons, not counting libraries. It would be the biggest pain in the rear for you to try to figure it out on your own.
This weekend, if I'm not super busy, I'll reinstall ChatMentions to see what happens. But, like I said, I don't believe it to be ChatMentions.
I believe the problem to be the libraries it comes with.

Exclamation libChat3 Causes Conflicts

I had to stop using this addon after I tracked down what was causing another addon not to function.

libChat3 (and perhaps also libGarfield) was causing conflicts with Junkee 2018.

I really miss using ChatMentions, but I can't use it due to that conflict.

Thanks for the updates. I think this is an issue with libGarfield still, which is a library maintained by Provision, not by me. As soon as Provision provides an update, I will fold it into ChatMentions and it should fix or reduce the frequency of this message.

I'm not entirely sure what is causing it. It functions normal even with the error, I just get the error every time I move zones or reloadui.
Try disabling all your other addons. If the message goes away, then one of your other addons is overriding a critical ChatSystem function without using the "cooperative" libChat2 or libChat3.

Basically, if addons don't cooperate somehow, they can trample on one another when trying to hook into modifying the chat system as this addon does. I'm using Provision's libChat3, an in-place compatible upgrade to libChat2 that allows sane "sharing" of chat system hooks between addons. Any addons that use at least libChat2 (or, indeed, libChat3) are compatible.

ChatMentions 1.1 always generated the message you pasted above on my systems, both with and without other addons loaded, on two of my systems. As of ChatMentions 1.2 the message went away.

I believe there is an error in libGarfield related to this message that Provision will be fixing in the near future. When that happens I will update libGarfield in ChatMentions and it should help at least reduce the frequency of the error message. See https://github.com/GuimDev/libGarfield/issues/2 and https://github.com/GuimDev/libGarfield/issues/3

Until then I advise you to continue to use ChatMentions 1.3 as it has the most features. You can probably creatively disable/enable your other addons until you find the culprit that is not cooperating with other addons by using libChat2/3. I'd be very interested to know which addon it is that causes the warning to be printed.

This is still happening. It only happens with this mod and it stops the second I remove it. it's clear, that whatever library folders it includes are improperly implemented or something. It does it on every single login, every single zoneswitch, and every single reloadui.

Great mod, great concept, works fine, but I'll probably not use it until this issue is fixed.
I've released a new version of the mod (currently undergoing review but should be available as soon as the wonderful people at esoui have a chance to review it) that should address this problem. Thanks for reporting it!

Well, it fixed -that- issue, but got a new one. The addon straight up no longer works. got this error now.

bad argument #2 to 'table.insert' (integer expected, got string)
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'table.insert'

1.1 still works without issue, but only if you download these libraries:



I have no idea which one is making it work without issue, but downloading this list, without fail, makes 1.1 work. Wish I had better news for you.

Edit: I do have better news! 1.2 works without all the libraries, and without issue. Maybe just. Stick with 1.2.
There was a legitimate issue with the coding in at least version 1.3 when you have the "ALL CAPS" setting set to "OFF" (as it appears you did in your code). I fixed the issue in ChatMentions version 1.4.

Please download v1.4 and give it a try, once the lovely ESOUI admins have approved the new version release. This should happen within the next 12 hours. If you are downloading using Minion, you should restart your Minion client to check for updates.
Yep. 1.4 fixed all issues. Props, mate! This addon is -vital- for large text based events, I am so happy I was able to help. Peace!

Please try to delete your Saved Variables for ChatMentions. On Windows, the default path would be: Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\SavedVariables\ChatMentions.lua

Once you delete your saved variables, try to reconfigure everything the way you like it, and see if you still get the error.

Also, try disabling all other addons temporarily and see if that helps.

If you still get the error after both of these steps, you may have a legitimate bug. In this case, please post me the complete contents of your SavedVariables file for ChatMentions (Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\SavedVariables\ChatMentions.lua) and I will try to reproduce your Lua error.
