NEW Addon: Silent Whisper - v0.1.1

[zanthor]

What about:

ChatEdit_GetLastToldTarget()
ChatEdit_SetLastToldTarget(string)

Not in front of a PC with WoW right now so I can't check, but Wow Instant Messenger uses those and I'm not seeing them defined in WIM's source, so I would assume they are WoW Native functions... could be wrong of course .

[Falkor]

The command you are thinking about is this:

/script ChatEdit_SetLastTellTarget("me");

This does what you are trying to do, but the problem you are then stuck with is how do you tell the main charactor to do this....
I think this might be possible if you had a addon running on your main charactor to monitor the addon hidden channel and then run the command every time if gets a message.....

Yea, you would have to transmit the message in the addon channel or you could encapsulate it in the whisper and have the recipient handle whisper incoming events and look for a tag on them.

Hook the CHAT_MSG_WHISPER event and if arg1 starts with the string [sw:*] parse out the * and set the last tell target.

I can give a more exact example of how to do this once I'm off work if you would like a hand with it.

[Falkor]

If you fancy showing me some examples that would be great!
The way I see it is just send the whisper that appears like this-
Joe whispered: Joe2|hi mate hows it going

Then just strip out everything form the whisper after the pipe and parse the remaining arg to the whispered list

Heres a quick look at what to expect to see in the next mini-release!

v0.1.2
# GUI to change the name of your main in the group
No more notepad lua editing.
# Add the name of the whisperer to your mains last whispered queue
You can now just use /r on your main to reply.

Still looking for more requests if anyone has any :P

Thanks for this Falkor, I was using Twoboxtoolkit previously but it was a huge memory hog causing all kinds of lag when I was using windowed clients on 2 machines...

[Falkor]

The most memory I've seen SilentWhisper use when communicating with 5chars is: 8KB :thumbsup:
Gotta be one of the most memory friendly whisper redirection addons available!

Regarding the GUI... anyway to make it so you just change it on the main and the slaves get updated? I know it would be easy to go to each and change it but this would just be one less thing us multiboxers have to do FIVE times.

Request taken into consideration and I don't see any reason why we cannot do this

Hey Falkor Silent Whisper doesn't seem to be coming up properly in my addon list using either the 0.1 toc or the 0.1.1 version with both the original code and the updates provided in forums here. Adjusted interface to be 20300 as per current Wow version, same result. Wondering if something isn't right somewhere or a correction can be provided etc.

Also for new versions the additional code provided by Djarid to use either focus or party1 is great, however wondering if a slash command can be included to manually set the master toon such as /silentwhisper master <toonname> so such code can be manually included in a macro etc. Being able to adjust that on the fly would be pretty key for me as I have 3 possible leaders of my various multibox parties and hardcoding wouldn't be a good option there.
