Please logout and backup your SavedVariables regularly!
pChat will update and support server dependent settings + histories!
The SavedVariables backup reminder will remind you once a week and after APIversion changes, and can be disabled in the Backup settings submenu.

pChat is an addon to overhaul the way text is displayed in the chatbox, make your chat customizable as it should be

pChat was not created to work properly with the gamepad input mode! It may work if you play in gamepad input mode but using the keyboard chat mode (ingame settings), but please do not report any bugs if you use the gamepad input mode! Switch to keyboard input mode instead if you want to use pChat.

The original author of this addon were: Puddy & Ayantir

Addons description

Features

Character/Account names : Because in your guild chat you won't see @JohnTheRipper but Bugnark gro-Moshul, pChat replace account names with Character Names. Customizable by guild, groupe, normal chat. PlayerName@AcountName and @AccountName/Playername available too.
Copy Text : You want to copy your chat ? Right click, and Ctrl+C
Anti-Spam : Bored of LFG, WTB and other flooding players ? AntiSpam without any configuration
Resizing Chatbox : Got a Full HD screen or more ? So let's resize your chatbox up to fullscreen
Timestamps : For the ones who like precision, now all messages got their timestamps. Hightly customizable to show your desired format. 11:43 PM or 23:43:12, choose the one you like.
No more whisper missed : A whisper : A sound. Visual
notification if you want it too.
[21:08] [pChat] [Ayantir]: Because chat should be easy to read : Timestamps, From Info and messages can be colorized as you like
Rename your Guilds Chans : Guild Tag or Officer one, each channel can be renamed
French / German translations : Russian & Spanish Translations too
Exit /g1, /say, /o1 : Click on chat, timestamp, channel name, and pChat will set your channel to the one you clicked on
Chat history : No more chat wiped when you'll reloadUI. Also include a restore history when you logout, get kicked or disconnect.
New Fonts embedded : 15 new fonts if you don't like the default one. And you can add the one you want too.
Darker chat window : If your eyes need a little help to improve your chat reading, and if you don't like background it can also be always transparent.
Define your own messages via /msg slash command : Define messages (long text) which you are able to quick post using a !<tag>, e.g. !ts + return key in the chat editbox: Will post the TeamSpeak server host/IP and login data information to chat. Often used with !ga to post guild advertisement texts.
Integrated addon "Chat Mentions" and other features : Enable sounds and visual mentioning of your character/account.
Show the currently typed character count at the chat window header bar.
Show the last time you have posted something to the zone chat at the chat window header bar.
Addon and features provided by: Coorbin

Missing a feature? Have a look at the "Other chat addons" section below

Options menu to setup the addon : In Settings > Addon Settings > pChat ("Extensions" in French and "Erweiterungen" in German)

Known Issues :
-Do not use a keybind that uses Alt. For example, Alt+Shift+x, Alt+Ctrl+x, all keybinds without Alt are good.
-If you get an error message first read and apply the information from above, written below the headline
After updating pChat please be sure to check the subfolder "lib" is not there anymore. If it is still there: Delete it!

Any problems : Please let me know with a comment or a PM.
Please read the sticky comment (first comment) before posting a bug!

Important information:
Chat addons cannot work properly if the CrownStore is open! This is due to ZOs restrictions to protect the crown store against changes via addons and affects the chat as well.

Other chat addons
FCOChatTabBrain: Auto switch multiple chat tabs upon incoming messges, remember last chat channel at each tab, automatically change chat channels to last incoming one upon pressing <chat start> (RETURN) key, redirect whisper messages, play sound notifications on messages (keywords, friends, group, leaders, guilds), auto switch to group, and many more features.

If your chat addon needs to be compatible with pChat
The CHAT_ROUTER:RegisterMessageFormatter only allows 1 function for each EVENT_CHAT_* callback function!
If you assign it new you'll overwrite exisitng ones!
So ALWAYS please check if any other chat addon is enabled, add these other known chat addons to your manifest txt ## OptionalDependsOn: list so the other addons load before your addon, and afterwards "post hook", or manually post hook, the other message formatter callback function -> See example for pChat below.
ATENTION: pChat uses the EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED callback to register the message formatters! If you want to post hook it you MUST do that after your own EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED callback! Using EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED will make pChat overwrite your callback function again (and it's no good to use EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED here as the chat is ready first after first called EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED)!

Example code for your EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED callback function, for the chat message formatter of EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL

Lua Code:

local function myChatHandlersMessageChannelReceiver(channelID, from, text, isCustomerService, fromDisplayName)
        --your chat EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL callback function
    end
    --For the example OR - Wrapper function for the existing EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL callbackFunction    
    local function myOnChatMessageChannelWrapper(messageText)
       local messageTextNew = messageText
       --Do whatever you need with the messageText passed in from original function
       return messageTextNew
    end
 
 
    if pChat == nil then
        --pChat is not loaded: Add your own handler to the CHAT_ROUTER
        --I'd always check if any other chat addon is active though and maybe thus always add the code below, even if pChat is not loaded
        --as it will keep exisitng callback functions of other addons or event add to the original vanilla chat formatter callback function
        CHAT_ROUTER:RegisterMessageFormatter(EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL, myChatHandlersMessageChannelReceiver)
    else
        --pChat is loaded
        --!!!ATTENTION!!!
        --Do the following at EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED after pChat has set CHAT_ROUTER:RegisterMessageFormatter(EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL, pChatChatHandlersMessageChannelReceiver)
        --Get all chat formatters. Table formatters will contain the different chat event entries, like EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL now
        local formatters = CHAT_ROUTER:GetRegisteredMessageFormatters()
        --Get the chat callback function for EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL of pChat
        local originalpChatFormatter = formatters[EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL]
        if originalpChatFormatter then
 
           --Either:
            --Post Hook pChat's EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL callbackFunction by re-applying the own handler function
            --which first calls pChat's function, and then your own code
            CHAT_ROUTER:RegisterMessageFormatter(EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL, function(...)
                local messageTextOfpChatHandler = originalpChatFormatter(...)
                --Do something with messageTextOfpChatHandler if you need to
                return myChatHandlersMessageChannelReceiver(...)
            end)
 
          --Or:
          --As the callback function of EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL returns  Instead of a manual posthook your could also define your own "wrapper" function around the original function
          CHAT_ROUTER:RegisterMessageFormatter(EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL , function(...)
                    return myOnChatMessageChannelWrapper(originalpChatFormatter (...))
                end)           
 
        end
    end

## v10.0.2.0 ## 2021-06-19
-Changed the SavedVariables to Server dependent ones: Means NA and EU server will save different settings and histories now.
Your current "non-server dependent" settings will be automatically copied to the server you login (NA, EU, PTS).
On-screen and chat messages, as well as LibDebugLogger messages (in the DebugLogViewer UI if you use this) will show you what was migrated and as it finished (2 automatic reloadUIs should happen during the migration process).

Attention: You are able to delete the non-server dependent (old) SavedVariables, to clean up the SV file s ize and increase the loading times, by using the chat slag command /pchatdeleteoldsv
BUT: Do NOT use this command before having logged in to ALL of the servers you play on! These non-server dependent settings are used as the copy base for the different servers. Copying SV from e.g. server NA to EU is not possible! So FIRST login to each server you play on, enable pChat and the dependencies, watch the screen for the migration messages and the reloaduis until it says finished.
After having migrated all servers you can use the slash command to delete the old SV file contents.

## v10.0.1.5 ##
-Changed backup reminder dialog to show gamepad dialog as well

## v10.0.1.4 ##
-Updated API to Blackwood
-Fixed settings menu to show the new CTRL+backspace settings proper: Chat options -> Chat Window -> Chat edit box
-Updated dependency versions
-Added a "Backup your SavedVariables" reminder. It will be shown once weekly or if the game's APIversion changes.
Please backup your SV at least once weekly as the pChat SV structures will change in the future and if migration will fail you will need a file to go back to.

You are able to disable the SV backup reminder in the settings at the Backup submenu.

## v10.0.1.3 ##
-Removed LibMainMenu
->You will need to install LibMainMenu-2.0 now!
-Added new setting to use CTRL+backspace to delete a whole word in the chat edit box (Thanks to Dolgubon)

## v10.0.1.2 ##
-Fixed copy dialog
-Changed copy dialog to disable filter checkboxes and labels for non filtered chat channels

## v10.0.1.1 ##
-Updated Russian translations -> Thanks to ivann339!
-Fixed chat copy dialog messing up the HUD/HUD_UI scenes
-Added keybind: "Copy whole chat (dialog)"
-Updated API version
-Updated needed library LibMainMenu to version 9

## v10.0.1.0 ##
Fixed
Copy dialog (still scene bug active)

Changed
-API version to Markarth
-Dependency versions needed: LibMainMenu v9, LibCustomMenu v694

Added
-Chat mentions by Coorbin, thanks for including this into pChat!

## v10.0.0.5 ##
Removed duplicate constants for the automated messages, hidden in pChat.lua file

## v10.0.0.4 ##
Fixed translations of the automated messages dialog, which you are bale to spawn via the /msg chat slash command

## v10.0.0.3 ##
After some users were not able to find the name format dropdown boxes for guilds and groups in the chat channel submenus, and thought the name format setting in the chat message submenu would apply to all chat messages:
Changed the settings so that the "name format" dropdown boxes for guild and group are also shown (duplicate) in the "message options"->"names in messages" submenu.

Hopefully the "bug reports" stop now as you will find them all at one spot :-)

## v10.0.0.2 ##
Fixed:
-Automated messages keybind and chat comamnd /msg will show the UI again

## v10.0.0.1 ##
Fixed:
-Timestamps and other formatting re-added for system mesages
-Timestamps and other formatting re-added for system mesages send by LibChatMessage (thanks sirinsidiator)
Attention: If you got the addon "DebugLogViewer" enabled the debug messages of addons will be ONLY shown in the DebugLogViewer UI/Quicklog UI, and NOT in the normal chat anymore! This is normal and an intended behaviour.
-Chat tab switch to default chat tab, after login

Added:
-Settings to enable/disable the chat format handlers (colors, timestamps, names, etc.).
You can find these settings as new submenu inside the "Message settings" submenu.
The following chat handlers can be enable/disabled:

System messages
Group left
Group type change
Friends list online status
Ignore list added
Ignore list removed

Standard setting value is: Enabled
You can use them to disable the chat formatters for e.g. online status and thus fix problems with other addons like "No Thank You".
You MUST reload the UI to change these settings so be sure to do so after changing the checkboxe values.

Logout of the game before doing this! pChat will update and support server dependent settings + histories! The SavedVariables backup reminder will remind you after APIversion changes, and can be disabled in the Backup settings submenu. !READ THIS FIRST PLEASE, BEFORE SENDING NEW BUGs! Ignoring this post and links in this post here will result in non-answered comments or even deleted comments! HowTo report bugs/error messages properly [Troubleshooting AddOn install/find & reporting errors] Be sure to read the "known bugs" and "incompatibility" list inside this sticky comment here first (further down!). This might already fix your problems. After this click the link "Troubleshooting AddOn install/find & reporting errors" below and follow the information how to correctly report a bug here. If you send in a comment about an error message or found bug, please always include the following information: Read this first: [Troubleshooting AddOn install/find & reporting errors] Especially the sections "lua error messages" and "How to report a lua error message/a bug to the developers" Main points to check and report here: Did you update ALL the needed dependencies and other addons? Did you test with ONLY the pChat addon & needed dependencies enabled, and is it working then (most probably another addon interfers then)? What other addons did you use as the error happened and please find out which of them is causing the error by disableing them oner after another (if only pChat enabled works fine)? More points and hints can be found at the link "[Troubleshooting AddOn install/find & reporting errors]" Known incompatiblity with other addons Library "libChat2" was removed from this addon. -> Please delete it, and all other "libChat" occurences (watch the lower l as first character! Do not delete LibChat* libraries like LibChatMessage!). Also LibGardfield counts as libChat and needs to be deinstalled! -> from your AddOns and subfolders, as they are non-functional anymore since 2019 and cause errors and problems with many other chat related addons. Known bugs: My chat colors, name and other formatting is not working. Logout! Remove old libraries from your other AddOns' folders and subfolderss where you are sure the libs are outdated or broken (e.g. LibMainMenu, libChat, libChat2, libChat3 -> libChat is broken so do not use or install it any longer!). Update all your libraries/dependencies (especially chat related ones like LibChatMessage). Read more about libraries/dependencies and installing/updating them here: https://www.esoui.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9149 https://wiki.esoui.com/Libraries Whisper messages sometimes do not show the @accountName even though the settings are set to @accountName/charName or charName/@accountName. I cannot find a way to reproduce this constantly. Seems as if the ESO source code is not providing the @accountName constantly to the event as the whisperMessage was received. As it's only a visual bug I may work on this in the future, if I find a way to reproduce it 100% Chat Mentions: Chat messages highlight/colorized and add the ! icon at your own send messages, even if you have disabled to do so. Beta version https://github.com/Baertram/pChat/ar...at_guildId.zip Attention: After opening the ZIP archive be sure to ONLY extract the subfolder "pChat" in the the folder "pChat-pChat_guildId". Do not extract the whole folders into your /live/AddOns directory! Your live/AddOns dir must look like this afterwards: Code: /Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns/pChat/pChat.txt Other chat addons FCOChatTabBrain: Auto switch multiple chat tabs upon incoming messges, remember last chat channel at each tab, automatically change chat channels to last incoming one upon pressing <chat start> (RETURN) key, redirect whisper messages, play sound notifications on messages (keywords, friends, group, leaders, guilds), auto switch to group, and many more features. Cleaning non-server dependent SavedVariables Attention: You are able to delete the non-server dependent (old) SavedVariables, to clean up the SV file size and decrease the loading times, by using the chat slash command /pchatdeleteoldsv BUT: Do NOT use this command before having logged in to ALL of the servers you play on! These non-server dependent settings are used as the copy base for the different servers. Copying SV from e.g. server NA to EU is not possible! So FIRST login to each server you play on, enable pChat and the dependencies, watch the screen for the migration messages and the reloaduis until it says finished. After having migrated all servers you can use the slash command to delete the old SV file contents. Last edited by Baertram : 07/31/23 at 02:37 AM.

Are you sure these are the news messages you type, and not the "history" shown? History is "saved text" so it shows your old name for sure until history is cleared after 24 hours (or your set max value to save the history).

Else it might be a problem with the "Chat Config Synchroinsation", did you enable this for these characters?
Please disable it and reload the UI and see if this fixes it. Afterwards you can re enable it I guess.

If this does not fix it, LOGOUT! And then you can only search your SavedVariables file for the "<old charname here>" and replace it with "<new charname>" then.
SV files is located in:
C:\Users\<your windows user name<\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\SavedVariables\pChat.lua
Make a backup before altering the file please!!! And always logout before changing these files or they will be overwritten from ingame data again the next time you logout/reladui/change zones with a loading screen.

I'll see if I can automate this charName change detection somehow for the future, thought pChat already does.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Feedback

Yes, I know that all, I'm around here since 2014

please just answer my questions so I know what I need to find the bug.
So I understood you are not using RUEso then.

The developer has officially translated the game into Russian. RuESO — modification does not translate anything else, but only makes the game with localization more comfortable.

And are you using the Eso default Russian translations or any custom addon like ESOru?

Re: Feedback

Check the addon settings please, it's in the guild submenu, same as group settings are at the group submenu. Should be at chat channel settings if I remember correctly.
There is the same dropdown to choose between character, account or both.

2. If you click on the "recall" button in the settings, it will cause the crash of the game client. (a window about the error report will appear.)

I had to remove the addon, since I'm used to seeing the players' account ID in the chat. A topic with a copy of a message is a good thing. But additional features spoil the addon.

Did you test if this happens with only pChat enabled and are you able to rebuild it than or does it only happen with other addons enabled?
Thank you.

If you read the past years comments you'll find similar issues reported and it always was because of other addons interfering.
I personally never had this happen so far, so sorry I cannot fix this if other addons are the cause.

Sometimes resetting the pChat SavedVariables also helps, if you for example have enabled the chat settings synchronisation to any of your chars and that char's data is corrupt or was changed some way, due to other addons.
Or if you have changed screen resolution, scaling, etc.

If you guys provide me an example I can rebuild, like with chat settings sync to char 1 and screen resolution 1920x1200 and fullscreen mode, and always happenign with only pChat enabled or pChat and <otheraddon name 1> enabled (and that other addon's settings x set to value y) I will work on this and try to find a fix.

Thanks for your understanding that addons are client dependant and your addons installed, enabled and their settings are the cause of many issues, so you always have to do the legwork on your end and provide me ways to reproduce that with a simple setup and settings, so I can kinda copy, test, debug and fix it at my "client side" the same way.

Ah so it's a known issue with an unknown culprit, got it.
I thought maybe it's an isolated case since it has not been dealt with for so long and so many updates.
At least now I know something regarding this even if it's not a way to fix it. Sadly I can't spare any time on looking for the conflict, there are a lot happening in my life rn. All the best!

Normal, no bug. ZOs changed chat handlers to only allow 1.
Several addons using the same handlers for chat, or friends, or whatever cannot work in combination unless one develops them to work in combination.
As in the past "No Thank You" was blocking some stuff at "load of addon", and pChat is applying it's handlers at "player activated" (Which happens later as the chat is ready) it was not compatible with pChat, and I guess it was never changed in No Thank You to check for pChat and make it compatible until now.

Other chat related addons already did add compatibility, maybe "No Thank You" can do it too. If the developer is interested in, he can contact me via PM e.g.

AutumnElf Forum posts: 0 File comments: 14 Uploads: 0	Clicking on Guild Name No Longer Works Hello! OK NM. I checked and found I was missing a dependency that was required last year for pchat. Not sure why it just started going wonky but I added that dependency and now all is well. <strike> I used to always click, in chat, on my guild name and it would bring me into guild chat. Now it brings my to local chat with Say. So I could easily jump from guild chat to guild chat, responding to people just by clicking on the guild name of the person who had a question. But instead of taking me directly between guilds, I'm put into the local Say. Then I have to remember or do /g1 /g2 whatever to find the guild that needs a reply. This just started happening in the past month. </strike> Last edited by AutumnElf : 04/16/23 at 11:42 AM.
