chat /reply /respond /r problem

The problem is that trying to use the /r in chat to respond to a whisper fails to do anything when LibChatMessage is in "hack-around" mode.

Proof of concept minimal addon src:

Code:

chatTest = {

    name = "chatTest",

}



-- Registering libraries

local LCM = LibChatMessage



-- ugly message formatter

local function FormatMessage(chanCode, from, text, isCS, fromDisplayName)

    local message = string.format("[%s/%s] %s",zo_strformat(SI_UNIT_NAME, from), fromDisplayName, text)

    return message

end



-- Registers the FormatMessage function with the LibChatMessage to handle chat formatting.

local function OnPlayerActivated()



    EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent(chatTest.name, EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED)



    -- set the chat event handlers for LibChatMessage to use

    LCM.formatRegularChat = true

    local evthdlrs = ZO_ChatSystem_GetEventHandlers()

    evthdlrs[EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL] = FormatMessage

end



--

local function OnAddonLoaded(_, addonName)

    if addonName ~= chatTest.name then return end

    EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent(chatTest.name, EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED)

 

        EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(chatTest.name, EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED, OnPlayerActivated)

end



EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(chatTest.name, EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED, OnAddonLoaded)

When the line

Code:

evthdlrs[EVENT_CHAT_MESSAGE_CHANNEL] = FormatMessage

is commented out, the /r works normally.

When the line is not commented, the /r chat command fails to work. :(

Anyone have any ideas?

That's strange. Haven't tried your code specifically, but it works fine for me while the workaround is active and I also don't see how it would interfere with the /r switch, since that is not at all related to the message formatting or anything the workaround is doing. Did you test this with only your addon and LCM active? Maybe some other chat addon is interfering?

I tested with the chatTest addon that I provided code for and LCM; nothing else.

I've uploaded a new version of LCM. The workaround is no longer needed with today's patch, so I removed the code.
