This started as a simple addon someone requested on the forums just to darken the chat background. I only did it because it was simple & quick. I got a few requests for small things & squeezed in time to do it when I could. But, I keep getting more. I'm glad you guys like it & I will keep it alive, but I don't have much time to add features to this.
Newest Features:(3.1) Added Clear Buffer Slash Command -- You can now use /reloadclear to clear the buffers. This clears all chat buffers.
(3.0) Added Chat Buffers -- Chat is now buffered, up to 100 messages. You can choose to have previous chat automatically reloaded for you when you reload the ui and login. This way you wont miss any conversations when your reloading your UI.
(3.0) New SlashCommands -- /reloadchat, /reloadparty, /reloadwhisper, /reloadguild, /reloadofficer. These commands will reload ALL chat in their respective chat buffers.
(3.0) Optional Slash Command Parameter -- You can add a time parameter to the slashcommands and it will only display messages that are less than that many minutes old. For example:/reloadwhispers 20 would reload all whipsers from the last 20 minutes into the chat window.
NOTE: The chat buffers are capped at 100 messages. Once a buffer is full it will remove the oldest message each time it saves a new one. So just because you can type /reloadchat 99999 Its probably not going to have messages that old in the buffer.
(2.9) pChat Compatibility -- Made some changes to be more compatible with pChat. Now if you run pChat the timestamps in ChatIt will automatically be disabled. Even if you turn them on they wont do anything, you'll have to use the timestamps in pChat (this is only if your running both addons). This is to provide compatibility and prevent the two addons from fighting over the games chat handler.
Features:Multiple Chat Windows: You can now open multiple chat windows.
Chat Timestamps & Time Played: You can toggle ON/OFF chat timestamps or time played so you can see how long you've been playing or how late its getting.
Secondary Chat Backdrop: Toggle ON/OFF a secondary backdrop behind the chat window to darken it.
Secondary Chat Backdrop Alpha: You can adjust the alpha of the secondary backdrop so you can make the chat window just a little darker or a lot.
Toggle ON/OFF background fading: Can be used to prevent the background from fading.
Text Fade Delay: You can adjust the delay time before the chat text starts to fade away. You can also prevent the chat text from ever fading by setting this value to 0 (in the settings menu)
Text Fade Duration: You can adjust the amount of time it takes for the text to fade away after the delay time has passed.
