API 100030 and LibChatMessage Overrides

Phuein · 02/27/20, 07:55 PM

With this patch the chat system has been modified a bit. Some of you may run into issues with the new CHAT_ROUTER. I'll share what fixes one of my addon required, so it may help you with your addon

My addon is used to override the default Friend Login message. The old code:

Code:

ZO_ChatSystem_GetEventHandlers()[EVENT_FRIEND_PLAYER_STATUS_CHANGED] = statusChanged

I had to change it to both update the original table, so that LibChatMessage can use my override, and also the new CHAT_ROUTER. The new code:

Code:

ZO_ChatSystem_GetEventHandlers()[EVENT_FRIEND_PLAYER_STATUS_CHANGED] = statusChanged
CHAT_ROUTER.registeredEventHandlers[EVENT_FRIEND_PLAYER_STATUS_CHANGED] = statusChanged

EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent("ChatRouter", EVENT_FRIEND_PLAYER_STATUS_CHANGED)
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("ChatRouter", EVENT_FRIEND_PLAYER_STATUS_CHANGED, statusChanged)

Any feedback is welcome. Enjoy!
