ChatMultiWindow Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.2

by: Dyster2000 [More]

Allows creating multiple chat windows, not just a single window with multiple tabs. Each window can have multiple tabs if desired.

To create a new window, simply drag the desired tab off and a new window will be created for it. You can move the current window by dragging the first (left most) tab.

Disclaimer: Most of this functionality is actually already in the game, it just wasn't fully finished and had some bugs. I just finished it and got it working.

v1.1 UPDATE:
During startup it will now remove empty chat windows that may have been created avoiding mouseover warnings.

No Fade option: You can now control fading through a cmd line option (I will add it to the options dialog when I have more time).
/chat_fade 0 (Turn fading off - chat windows are always visible)
/chat_fade 1 (Turn fading on - default behavior)

v1.2 UPDATE:
This build just fixes a couple bugs that would cause occasional errors to show up.

I have it partly working, but they do fading at different levels so I'm having to track down a solution for each. Plus life has been hectic the past couple weeks. I'll get to it soon. I'll also include a fix to remove the phantom chat windows on startup.

Ive tried the steps you tried but still have the same result. After removing all deleting the entire Elder Scrolls Online/Live directory and reloading the game I still get this error and phantom chat window, but not for my characters that had never used ChatMultiWindow. ** UPDATE: So it seems there is ZO_Ingame.lua data that gets saved on the server side. The problem we have been having seems to stem from there being a chatwindow with a tab that has no name and not being able to select it to give it a name or remove it. I was able to get rid of this UI Error by logging my character out, then deleting the ZO_Ingame.lua and then loging back in using the following add-in: CHAT_SYSTEM:SetAllowMultipleContainers(true) RemoveChatContainer(0) RemoveChatContainer(1) RemoveChatContainer(2) RemoveChatContainer(3) RemoveChatContainer(4) RemoveChatContainer(5) RemoveChatContainer(6) AddChatContainer() AddChatContainerTab(0,"tabname0") AddChatContainerTab(1,"tabname1") AddChatContainerTab(2,"tabname2") AddChatContainerTab(3,"tabname3") AddChatContainerTab(4,"tabname4") AddChatContainerTab(5,"tabname5") AddChatContainerTab(6,"tabname6") Last edited by jsberg69 : 04/22/14 at 05:55 PM.

I've tried moving other tabs onto it to no avail. It is re-sizable but since it has no tab it can't be moved or removed. When I mouse hover on it I get an error.

I use pChat, Simple Chat Bubbles, as well as Wykkyd's addons, which affect chat in some way.

** UPDATE: I disabled ALL addons before logging in to a character, and verified in that character that all addons are disabled and I STILL have that ghost window. Is there some file other than in your addon that you modified with ChatMultiWindow?

** UPDATE 2: I found and deleted ZO_Ingame.lua from Saved Variables folder. Fixed. You might want to add a function with either a slash command or in the settings menu that resets everything back to default.

** UPDATE 3: I'm not sure your addon has anything to do with my problem. I deleted ALL addons from the addon folder; ALL files from SavedVariables folder; and I log in and it's fine UNTIL I drag the chat window. That phantom chat window appears where my chat window used to be. So unless your addon does some kind of server side setting that caused this it might not be your fault at all. Otherwise I'm fine as long as I don't move the chat window. /shrug

Here's a screenshot:

Same thing happened to me can someone help me fix this? I have deleted EVERYTHING from the add ons folder and every other error file log in file ect. there was nothing left but empty folders and the phantom window is still there every time i mouse over the area its in it gives me that HUGE error message i can't play till i fix this.

Is there anyway to delete a phantom window?

Disabled all addons except this one to see if it was an addon conflict, and it still dragged the entire chat window. EDIT: Fixed it by deleting the addon in the addon folder and installed it manually. Whereas before I used the minion client. Last edited by jpsaply : 04/15/14 at 06:36 PM.

It creates a new window for me fine, but I second this request, if at all possible. Thanks so much, a much-needed mod for me!
