Never miss an important message!

We all have discovered a weakness in TESO... the ingame chat management.
Nearly everyone of us has missed a whisper because we were in combat or distracted by anything special.
Seconds later the chat has faded out or shifted up by messages and spam and we never take notice about.

This now comes to an end!
TIM - the TESO Ingame Messenger will keep your messages and set you on alert.

It does not matter if there is an incoming whisper, a call from the guild or a party message that arrives... TIM will keep an eye to all game channels until your return
Depending on your setup, TIM will open automatically or you will be noticed by a flashing sign if anything has happen while you was away - let TIM take the responibility not to miss anything important.

For guild masters and active guild members there are now many guild functions implemented as display status, jump to guildmember, mail to guild member, whisper to guild member, and more other

Within the catacombs of TIM you may store Scrolls of your own text and post them to the chat - great for roleplay and trade

Hint: For sure you will have to open or close TIM often in future - so i would recommend you to create a keybinding for this action (i would suggest the F12 key i.e). Guild masters would bind another key (F11) to the guild functions and a third one for the catacombs

What are the features?

At this time there is implemented:
- separated channel recordings (party, zone, guild)
- separated speech channel (say, yell)
- separated tab for each whisper (one per person/account)
- self-prepared messages for roleplay or trade (catacombs)
- rotate through discussions (keyBind able)
- magic messages (dynamic channels with messages selected by keywords from ALL channels)
- every channel can be set to alert if a message arrives (default is whisper/party only)
- you may setup TIM to open automatically if an important message arrives
- TIM will close immediately if you are entering combat
- you may answer a channel by a simple click (answering via chat window because addons are forbidden to talk)
- messages will survive a UI reload or relog (even if you are disconnected by the server)
- resizeable in settings or predefined with command /tim <n> (where <n> is a number from 0-5)
- your personal window size may saved using "/tim <n> SAVE" (where <n> is a number from 6 to 9)
- guildmaster functions now implemented within a separated guild function window
- display status, jump to guildmember, mail to guild member, whisper to guild member, dismiss guild member implemented
- all guilds separated shown in the guild functions window
- a target scanner and mail functions helps to simplify guild advertisements
- localized for german and english clients

I hope, TIM will be able to help and enthuse you
see you all in Tamriel!

Nie wieder eine wichtige Nachricht verpassen!

Leider muessen wir alle eine besondere Schwäche von TESO miterleben - den Chat im Spiel.
Beinahe jeder von uns hat schon einmal eine wichtige Fluesternachricht verpasst, weil er gerade im Kampf oder anderweitig abgelenkt war.
Einige Sekunden spaeter sind diese wichtigen Zeilen verschwunden oder durch Spam nach oben in die Unsichtbarkeit geschoben.

Dies hat nun ein Ende!
TIM - der TESO Ingame Messenger bewahrt Deine Nachrichten auf und wird Dich alarmieren.

Es ist egal ob eine Fluesternachricht, ein Gildenchat oder eine Gruppennachricht eintrifft, TIM hat bis zu Deiner Rueckkehr ein Auge auf alle Nachrichtenkanaele.
Je nach Deiner Konfiguration wird TIM automatisch öffnen oder ein blinkendes Symbol zeigen, wenn waehrend Deiner Abwesenheit etwas Wichtiges hereingekommen ist - ueberlasse TIM die Verantwortung, wachsam zu sein.

Gildenmeister und aktive Gildenmitglieder verfuegen nunmehr über implementierte Gildenfunktionen wie Status anzeigen, Sprung zum Gildenmitglied, Guildennachricht senden, Gildenmitglied anfluestern und mehr

In den Katakomben von TIM kannst Du Deine eigenen Schriften (Nachrichten) für das Roleplay oder den Handel aufbewahren

Ein Tip: Ihr werdet sicher TIM oefters oeffnen oder schliessen wollen - legt Euch hierfuer eine Schnelltaste über die Steuerungseinstellungen an - ich empfehle z.B. F12. Gildenmeister werden die Gildenfunktionen an eine weitere Taste (F11) binden wollen und vielleicht eine dritte für die Katakomben

Was ist bereits alles moeglich?

Implementiert ist derzeit:
- Getrennte Kanaele (Gruppe, Zone, Gilde)
- Getrennte Sprachkanaele (sprechen, rufen)
- Getrennte Tabs für jedes Gespraech (einer pro Person/Account)
- selbsterstellte Nachrichten fuer das Roleplay oder den Handel (Katakomben)
- Durch Diskussionen rotieren (keyBinding moeglich)
- Magische Nachrichten (dynamische Kanaele mit Nachrichten, welche über Schlagworte aus ALLEN Kanaelen ausgewaehlt werden)
- alle Kanaele können den Alarm bei Nachrichteneingang setzen, wenn sie so konfiguriert sind
- TIM wird sofort schliessen, wenn der Spieler in einen Kampf eintritt
- Antworten funktioniert mit einem einzelnen Klick - allerdings via Chat (da AddONs keine Nachrichten senden duerfen)
- gespeicherte Nachrichten ueberdauern auch einen UI Reload oder gar Relog (sogar, wenn der Server die Verbindung trennt)
- Fenstergroesse einstellbar im Setup oder vordefiniert mit /tim <n> (wobei <n> eine Zahl von 0-5 ist)
- Eigene Fenstergroessenkönnen jetzt mit "/tim <n> SAVE" gespeichert werden (wobei <n> eine Zahl von 6-9 ist)
- Gildenmeister Funktionen sind jetzt ueber ein eigenes Fenster implementiert
- Status anzeigen, zum Gildenmitglied reisen, Post an Gildenmitglieder senden, Gildenmitglieder anfluestern und der Gilde verweisen sind jetzt implementiert
- alle moeglichen 5 Gilden sind in den Gildenfunktionen separat gehalten
- Ein Spieler-Scanner mit Mailunterstützung helfen bei der Gildenwerbung
- Lokalisierung derzeit verfuegbar für deutsch und englisch

Ich hoffe,TIM wird Euch helfen und begeistern können
Bis bald in Tamriel!

Hello kaci76,

yes, i will think about not to display certain channels, but it will last some time because if i add this feature, i would like TIM to attend ALL channels and only supress some from display (to have the supressed messages ready for the magic groups)... but because this was not intended before, some greater changes within the code are in need.

Hmmm.... what does it mean "stop normal chat popping on top of it"?

Servus losti,

sorry, there is no such function to call time-by-time. If the game crashes, all advancements are gone...
If this happens more often to your system, the only thing i could recommended you is to type the command "/reloadui" to the chat before you leave - this command will cause all addON's to save their data

As I re-joined the game and opened TIM i noticed that the log was old. So i think it will only save the log if i relogg or quit the game. So is it possible to save the chatlog in progress? I know the LUA in the savedvariables folder will only be created with a loggout, but is this still possible ?? Last edited by losti : 05/31/14 at 03:49 PM.

Unfortunately, but necessary as there is no light without shadows. To mark this cut as a new beginning, i will raise the version number to 3. Hopefully there are no further bugs concerning this problem. Sternentau

Xcelent Forum posts: 2 File comments: 11 Uploads: 0	I don't know why I thought it to be a good idea to do a complete re-install (including uninstalling it and deleting the Tim.lua in the SavedVariables folder) of the new version 2.7b, but, since then TIM doesn't save the settings I choose, after a reloadui or even a relog everything is back to the standard settings. :S Any idea why?

Hello Losti,

yes, you are right - the duplicated entry is removed now.
Simply re-download TIM (i did not elevate the version number for this fix)

And also yes... i hope, TIM will enter a stable state soon so it is not longer necessary for you all to update daily

Let me say a big thanks to you all for your reports and your patience.
I am sure TIM is on its best way to the first non-beta release

I hope to have fixed this incident by changing TIMs variables to something more special. Now TIM should no longer been interfered Sternentau

Sternentau board director Forum posts: 17 File comments: 159 Uploads: 3	Investigating bracket bug After some checks i found out that variables stored by the LUA system must not start or end with brackets "[", "]" and are not allowed to contain double brackets "[[, "]]". Therefore i now adjust incoming messages recorded by TIM in that way i am temporarily replacing double brackets with "{{" and "}}" as well as pre/suffixing starting/ending brackets with a space. Maybe you have to delete the tim.lua file within your savedvariables directory to get TIM up running again. Maybe this strange messages are sent by another AddON (this also would enlighten that only few of you are affected by this bracket bug) so i am monitoring this occurrence for a while. If you was affected please tell me if the problem is gone and/or if there are more curiousities while running TIM Sternentau

Especially because i am not able to reproduce this behaviour here on my systems.

Storing the variables to the savedvariables directory is done by the lua system so missing brackets there are strange.
I would ask you to mail me this tim.lua file ([email protected]) maybe this gives me a hint.
If you move the tim.lua fle out of there (to simulate the first run)... is the error persistent?

And none actually write to a "log" that can be checked later.

Thank you for your consideration!

Servus DuchessOfKvetch,

well, i see. So i have understood it, you would like to have a feature to define some "attractors" and if an incoming message includes one of this attractors, then this message should be guided/copied to a separated alert channel for later inspection.

Hmmm...
yes, i like your idea (because i love roleplay) - but first i would like to bring TIM to a stable, reliable and dependable AddON.
If this stage is reached, then we can build castles onto this platform.
But until this time i would rather concentrate my attention to bugs and their removal in first priority.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion, i put it on my to-do list and
...cu in Tamriel!

Sternentau

Danke schon, Sternentau!

The main "bugs" I see now are:

1) I get an error every time I load my first character. Something about a missing end bracket in tim.lua, on line 604 or 584.

2) The screen position for the window and the "button" to toggle the window do not appear to persist between sessions, even if I select "lock position". The setting for whether or not to display Zone chat also does not persist. In fact, I don't think any of the configuration options persist.

As another suggestion, please also consider making it optional to show character names, instead of "@ handles", in the chat logs. This is a common feature of such mods as X4DChat, and most of us are used to seeing <character name>@<User name> or some combination of this, in our chat windows.
