  • About WIM (WoW Instant Messenger)
  •  

WIM (WoW Instant Messenger) is a World of Warcraft addon which helps you to manage your whispers by making them into a classic instant messenger interface such as AIM, Yahoo and MSN.


With game play in mind, WIM has a large array of options where you can customize how WIM interacts during different situations, such as while you are in combat or in town talking to friends or selling your crafts.

WIM now comes with a built in Spam Blocker which utilizes WIM's new plugin interface.


***UPGRADING TO WIM 2.4.9? PLEASE READ!***

Because of the major changes made to WIM in 2.4, you must delete your WIM folder in your Addons folder before installing this update. After installation, you must restart WoW. Failing to do so will result in many interface errors. For more information please visit http://www.wimaddon.com/wiki/WIM:UpgradingTo2.0....

Some of WIM's major features are: - Tabbed or windowed messages - History - Filtering - Aliasing - Fully customizable - Compatible with many popular addons - Spam Blocker - SKINS - and more...


To keep up to date with WIM and its developement, be sure to visit http://www.wimaddon.com. WIMAddon.com is a great place to converse with the developers and users of WIM.

    Very nice, I love it <3

    @Elendiel - There's a quick/easy fix to the .lua file in Craftlist2 that will correct the old hook that Craftlist2 is looking for in WIM. The fix is posted on the official WIM site (http://www.wimaddon.com)...just search for Craftlist2 on their forums.

  • May 8, 2008, 09:56PM (3 days, 15 hours ago)

    i have the newest version (4/22) installed but it keeps popping up saying there is a new version to install every time i log in a character. i've even deleted the folder and reinstalled the addon and it still does this.

  • May 8, 2008, 03:16PM (3 days, 22 hours ago)

    Since the last Update Craftlist2 is too old to work with WIM - I love this Addon, but for me Craftlist is more so impoortant, so I can't use WIM anymore :(

  • April 29, 2008, 10:03AM (1 week, 6 days ago)

    Hello
    I instaled the new version and i got a small problem my minimap menu isnt working. i dont get any error message, it just doesnt show me the wim menu or the open conversations.
    i uninstaled the previous version and still got the same problem
    thank you in advance

  • April 29, 2008, 04:55PM (1 week, 5 days ago)

    If you are having a problem even after installing the older version, it means there is another addon loaded which is conflicting. Try disabling all of your addons except for WIM. See if you still have a problem. If it works as intended, next you need to figure out which addon is causing the problem.

  • May 6, 2008, 04:44PM (5 days, 21 hours ago)

    I've got the same problem. I disabled all my addons and could figure out the problem. An addon called MBB (Minimap Button Bag, http://files.wowace.com/MBB/MBB-r70528.zip) has problems with WIM. In the past, both addons worked nice together, an update of WIM or MBB is responsible for the problem. Need both addons. :(

    Hello, first off, i love this mod.
    Second, i am getting this bug. it doesn't produce an error message, but whener i log in, my skin color resets to default. not a huge deal, but kinda annoying.

  • April 29, 2008, 04:56PM (1 week, 5 days ago)

    I will take a look and see if I can reproduce this.

  • May 6, 2008, 02:32AM (6 days, 11 hours ago)

    any other progress on this? Still having the issue.

  • April 28, 2008, 09:00PM (1 week, 6 days ago)

    Whenever I view history in the history viewer of someone I've had a lot of conversations with the game freezes for a extended period of time. The more conversations, the longer it freezes. Lately I had it crash after trying to switch from normal view to RAW Text.

  • April 29, 2008, 04:59PM (1 week, 5 days ago)

    The larger your history database the longer it will take to load... It shouldn't be causing a game crash unless it is forcing you to run out of memory. Exactly how large is your history? If it is indeed that large, maybe it is time to start copying and pasting your history out and saving them on your computer... I options i added for history where added for a reason. Unfortunately, there isn't a better method of managing data. aka there is no actual "database" per say. Just lua table manipulation.

  • May 2, 2008, 10:49PM (1 week, 2 days ago)

    Quite large... When I switched from the normal view to the RAW it did give me a out of memory error.

  • April 28, 2008, 03:16AM (2 weeks ago)

    I get this error a lot lately. And, I can't find any documentation regarding Prat and WIM problems or fixes. Help :) . Thanks for a great addon. OH, after error, I can only get "tells" in combat. And, if I open the WIM window to respond, my msg is not displayed for me, but goes through to target.

    Unless something changed recently in prat. I am sure there is an addon conflict going on as I am unable to reproduce this error and use WIM and prat together all the time.

    You can do one or two things...
    1. /wim prat
    this will disable any Prat formatting from WIM. This should avoid your errors from occurring.

    2. Start disabling your many icons and figure out which might be causing the problem.

  • April 27, 2008, 01:21PM (2 weeks, 1 day ago)

    Maybe not a bug, but an annoyance.If I'm dragging WIM across the screen and a message is coming through it doesn't show, it is in history however.

  • April 25, 2008, 07:28AM (2 weeks, 3 days ago)

    Hello Arcticfever!

    Thank you so much for your tip! I did i like you said, and i could move the wim-button. Now everything works perfectly fine! It was really easy to fix this problem, but i wouldn't have hit on it on my own... hehe.

    So thanks again and lots of greetings, Glenkinchie :-)

  • April 24, 2008, 01:37PM (2 weeks, 4 days ago)

    I downloaded WIM and think it's a great addon. Problem is, whenever I have a conversation with someone, it doesnt't record the History. And yes i have history recording enabled.

    Can someone please help with this?
    Thanks a bunch
