So i went ahead and tried to replace Pchat by different addons to see what would be missing :
so i added those addons :
-
https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info...tTabBrain.html
-
https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info...ldReorder.html
-
https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info...bSelector.html
https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info2296-ChatBG.html
They almost replace Pchat functionalities, each doing differents things with options settings :
- time stamps
- minimized chat
- history - not always kept
- guild reorder
- chat tab memory --- not working as with Pchat, and the order of the chats are not kept - resets at each /rl or log in
- copy
- format naming
- sound alert whisper and more
and more settings that i dont use personally and/or did not understood well so i will pass on them.
What would be really missing from Pchat is :
- Windows resize
if i remove Pchat completly, the chat windows is smaller and can not be resized, i can only show 3 tabs, when i have 4 showned on the 6 i created with Pchat
- The possibility to choose the font for the chat.
I did not understood why removing Pchat, was removing also the font, as i use also Pawksickles. But the font Ubuntu was reverted to default.
The addon LUIe also reverted all of the chats annoucements to default
The possibility to use differents colors from ESO
So i ended up with Pchat set up basically with all options OFF, but on for the size, and the other addons.
UPDATE :
After playing a little with those new addons, some things are not functionning perfectly.
- The history do not work at all. Once i reloadui or relog, no history is availabe
- The background is either black or transparent, i can not get a soft settings
- FCOchatbrain : The tab name are kept, but the settings by tab chats are not saved (For example i have a npc tab and loot tab and they are each time reseted to any other of my tab)
example more clear
Tab 1 : zone
Tab 2 : Guilds
Tab 3 : group
Tab 4 : emotes /tells
become after a rl or log in
Tab 1 : zone = guilds
Tab 2 : Guilds = loot
Tab 3 : group = emotes
Tab 4 : emotes /tells = tells
I even discovered in the ChatTabSelector addon savedvariables that my names guilds are not even the right ones :
["Tamriel Traders Guild"] = "TTG",
["TimeStamp"] = false,
["Bandits Black Market"] = "BBM",
["Level"] = true,
["Daggerfall Bandits"] = "Bandits",
["Daggerfall Traders Guild"] = "DTG",
["Advanced"] = true,
["TabToChannel"] =
I have absolutely no characters into those guilds
