Functions

  • Removes [Guild], [Party], [Raid] and [Officer] prefix from chat.
  • Abbreviates [Raid Leader] and [Raid Warning].
  • Removes channel names 'General', 'Trade', 'LookingForGroup', 'XXXDefense' or replaces with a short prefix.
  • Removes custom channel names.
  • Colorize chat names.
  • Option to activate cursor keys while typing a message (instead of ALT+Cursor keys).
  • Option to hide scroll buttons.
  • Option to use the mouse wheel to scroll. Hold Shift while scroll up or down and it scrolls immediately to the top or bottom of the chat.
  • Option to collect class and level information from random chat people (people not in party / raid / guild / friend list)
  • Option to save this information between sessions.
  • Option to popup message if it contains your name.
  • Clickable URLs. You can click a URL or bind a key to toggle the URL window. The window shows last five URLs and allows you to copy a URL to the clipboard.
  • Highlight custom text in chat message (requires to edit a textfile, advanced users only).


What now?

Enter '/cleanchat' or bind a key to show the configuration window. There you can enable/disable the addon functions.

If you choose to enable the option "Show level" and/or "Use class colors" there a few things to note:

  • The level and class of your party / raid / guild / friends is always known.
  • To show levels and apply class colors to random chat people, you have to allow the addon to use the /who command. If the random is first seen by the addon then it will initiate a /who query, so the second time the random types a message the information can be applied. If a lot of chitchat is going on, the addon can not keep up because a /who command is only allowed every three seconds. But sooner or later the information is gathered. Keep in mind that the level information afterwards will not be updated as long as the random is known by the addon.
  • If you save the collected information about randoms and you don't see a name for three days all information about the name will be deleted. The collected information are stored per character.
  • If you disable the save option, the name information will be lost after a hour or on logout.


Colorize details

Here is a list how the addon decides what color a name gets (read to fully understand colorize options, but not required): 

1. If 'classcolors' enabled and the class is known then it uses the Blizzard class colors.
2. Otherwise, it uses the guild color if a guild member and guild color is set.
3. Otherwise, it uses the friend color if a friend and friend color is set.
4. Otherwise, it uses the party color if party member and party color is set.
5. Otherwise, it uses the the raid color if raid member and raid color is set.
6. Otherwise, it uses unknownclass color if 'classcolors' enabled, class is NOT known and unknownclass color is set.
7. Otherwise, it uses grey color if 'classcolors' enabled, class is NOT known and unknownclass color is NOT set.
8. Otherwise, it uses 'others' color if that color is set.
9. Otherwise, it generates a color for that name if enabled.
10. Otherwise, use Blizzard default color.


Notes / Tips / More details

  • If you want just random colors, only enable 'Use colorize names...'.
  • If you want one color for all people then set only 'color for others'.
  • If a name needs a 'random' color, the addon generates a color based on the hashvalue of the name. This means that a name has always the same 'random' color.
  • To highlight custom text in chat messages open 'HighlightConfig.lua'. I prepared a few examples there to get you started.

    URL's werden nicht vollständig übernommen wenn ein '-' (Bindestrich) darin vorkommt. Aufgefallen bei wow-europe.com wird nur europe.com als URL erkannt.

    When I try to Shift + Click on a player name a URL list tap opens. How can I change this?

    DeTard, could it be possible that Cleanchat is having a conflict with another addon? :/

    Anyone else having the problem with this mod where you can't see ANY chat at all? I have tried changing the TOC to 20000, updating the math.mod to math.fmod, and even ran the Fix Addons app, all to no avail. The mod seems to load, no errors at all, but I don't see any chat. I see emotes, that's about it.

    That fix worked for a couple of my alts, but when i load up my main (who uses the exact same mod loadout as the others) i get a setn error, and another one about line 552 about concatinating playerName or something of the like.

    Id really like to see this mod picked up, it was one of my favourites.

    This mod works perfectly with no errors in 2.0.1 if you do the following:

    1) Change the first line in CleanChat.toc to

      1. Interface: 20000

    2) Open CleanChat.lua and replace all instances of "math.mod" with "math.fmod"

    I like to highlight names in emotion chat text ('xyz waves' etc). I am not aware of any reliable way to determine if a text is some sort of addon chatter or role playing related. I think it is not that big problem anyway.

    I am not sure what's the gain if [Guild] is replaced by [G] etc. As these channels already color coded, the purpose was to save space in the chatframe by removing them complete. Replacing 'General' by 'G' etc. can be done.

    OK, I haven't done much additional tweaking, but I generally seem to be getting readable colors, so I'll post up some code fragments. In CleanChat_NewColor, I replaced your "make color bright if too dark" code snippet with the following: 

     local rgb1 = {79,79,79}  -- standin for background color;
 local bright1 = ((rgb1[1]*299)+(rgb1[2]*587)+(rgb1[3]*114))/1000;
 local bright2 = ((rgb[1]*299)+(rgb[2]*587)+(rgb[3]*114))/1000;
 local brightdiff = math.floor(bright1 - bright2); -- -255 to 255
 local huediff = math.floor(math.abs(rgb[1]-rgb1[1]) + math.abs(rgb[2]-rgb1[2]) + math.abs(rgb[3]-rgb1[3]));  -- 0-765

     i = 1;
 while (((brightdiff > 0) or ((brightdiff > -40) and (huediff < 150))) and i < 6) do

    hash = CleanChat_HashString(hash); rgb = { math.floor(math.mod(hash, 255)), 

                   math.floor(math.mod(hash * 3, 255)),
               math.floor(math.mod(hash / 17, 255)) };

    bright2 = ((rgb[1]*299)+(rgb[2]*587)+(rgb[3]*114))/1000; brightdiff = math.floor(bright1 - bright2); -- -255 to 255 huediff = math.floor(math.abs(rgb[1]-rgb1[1]) + math.abs(rgb[2]-rgb1[2]) + math.abs(rgb[3]-rgb1[3])); -- 0-765 i = i + 1; 

     end


    basically, instead of just working with color values less than 190 (where did you come up with that, anyway? it worked pretty darn well), I use some formulas I found on the net to calculate a "brightness difference" and "hue difference". I then experiemented with these values and seeing which were legible to come up with the formula for when to rehash to a new random color.

    note that the differences are compared to a "reference" color. I chose a shade of gray which mimics what I have set for my chat panel backgrounds.

    If you want to test your own values and the rehashing function, you can add the following code towards the end of the CleanChat_AddMessage function to output the brightness, hue, and RGB values for every color outputted (change false to true to enable this):

    -- DBM --for debugging if false then 

     local color = CleanChat_GetColorFor(this.CleanChat_Name)
 local rgb1 = {79,79,79}  -- standin for background color;
 local rgb2 = {CleanChat_ToDec(string.sub(color,-6,-5)),CleanChat_ToDec(string.sub(color,-4,-3)), CleanChat_ToDec(string.sub(color,-2,-1))}
 local bright1 = ((rgb1[1]*299)+(rgb1[2]*587)+(rgb1[3]*114))/1000;
 local bright2 = ((rgb2[1]*299)+(rgb2[2]*587)+(rgb2[3]*114))/1000;
 local brightdiff = math.floor(bright1 - bright2); -- -255 to 255
 local huediff = math.floor(math.abs(rgb2[1]-rgb1[1]) + math.abs(rgb2[2]-rgb1[2]) + math.abs(rgb2[3]-rgb1[3]));  -- 0-765

     msg = brightdiff .. " " .. huediff .. " (" .. rgb2[1] .. "," .. rgb2[2] .. "," .. rgb2[3] .. ") " .. msg;

    end

    Hope it helps!

    incidentally, i grabbed the algorithm from the following site: http://www.aprompt.ca/WebPageColors.html

    a site with some reference colors: http://www.pitt.edu/~nisg/cis/web/cgi/rgb.html
