Simple Chat Bubbles  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 1.0.2
by: Dio [More]
Simple Chat Bubbles helps alert you when other people are talking.

The bubbles are positioned in the upper half center of screen. There are two rows of 3 bubbles, for a total of 6 bubbles. The number of bubbles shown is configurable, if you would like to save space or not have so much "bubble clutter". However, the less bubbles available, the more likely incoming chat will overwrite existing bubbles.

Bubbles expand in the following order:

Top Center -> Top Left -> Top Right -> Bottom Left -> Bottom Right -> Bottom Center


Features

  • SCB has a tidy amount of options to help you personalize the chat bubbles. Please see the screenshots for more details.


Possible upcoming features

  • Minimum bubble duration in seconds.
  • Improved gold spam filter.
Version 1.0.2-Fix

- Reuploaded. OS X sort of messed up the folder structure of the archive.

Version 1.0.2

- New option: "Show My Chat". Enabling this will show your chat as a bubble.
- New option: "Hide On Menus". Enabling this will hide chat on any character menus (not system menus). Upon leaving any character menus the chat will reappear.
- Fixed the bug that was present if you disabled "Show Pop Animation".
- Various code refactoring.

Version 1.0.1

- Added 4 new channels: EMOTE (/emote), MONSTER_EMOTE, MONSTER_SAY, MONSTER_WHISPER, and MONSTER_YELL.

Modified SCB

I think this mod is excellent. Seeing the timing of comments is invaluable, and adds immersion, it becomes more of a graphic novel. I hacked it to change the fonts, background and positioning. Also, RolePlayers tend to speak in paragraphs, so made the bubbles bigger, although I couldn't figure out how to resize the bubble to fit the text, so I tried to use an unobtrusive transparency, but it doesn't work well against sky.


However, if you could consider making the above things changeable...fonts, transparency/background, layout...then I could stop using my 'dangerous' hack (I broke animation). Here's a video of it in action:

Thanks again.

Would it be possible to have the add-on have an option not to do the bubbles if a player is in Cyrodiil?

I love the add-on and seeing the conversations if I'm solo or in a dungeon or whatever, but in pvp, I really don't want/need that distraction. Could you please add an option to turn it off in Cyrodiil? Thank you.

I noticed that when someone sends me a tell in colors, that text remains on my screen and I am forced to do /reloadui for that message to go away.

Could it be possible to fix the color text sticking in our screens forever?

Search String

It would be great if we could have your addon do queries for particular strings (like, "WTB" or "WTS" or "LFG" or any string we choose), and then display a notification bubble so we don't miss important messages we are looking for.

Similar to the Addon "Chat Watch," only not broken.

Thanks.

Just a thought.
This is something I was designing for when creating the addon, but it was a little more complex than I anticipated and in order to get the addon out sooner I skipped the feature. I am still considering it for a future release.
Good to know! I'll look forward to it!

Hm, there's nothing SCB does that would conflict with WQT. Judging by the errors, my addon's included LibAddOnMenu (a library for making menus) was probably loaded into memory first and thus is included in the stack traceback (sort of annoying). I would report your bug in WQT, it's most likely a WQT bug.

I really hope ZOS don't find out about this because it will probably destroy any chance we had of getting proper speech bubbles made by them.

Great mod. But I still need real chat bubbles.

Nicely done. Makes it a whole lot easier to notice when someone is trying to get my attention.
