  • About WIM (WoW Instant Messenger) v3
  •  

WIM (WoW Instant Messenger) is a World of Warcraft addon which brings an instant messenger feel to communication in game.

I created WIM over 2 years ago with the curiosity of creating an addon. Since then, WIM has evolved into what it is today, however so many requests from the community were added into the addon which resulted in bulky and inefficient coding practices that took a toll on both CPU and Memory usage. To resolve this, I decided to rewrite WIM from scratch. Each feature is being reintroduced one at a time and being advanced upon. That being said, I welcome you to WIM 3.0.

Features

  • Whispers in their own windows.
  • Chat in their own windows.
  • Tabbed windows
    • Highly configurable.
  • History
    • Copy and paste as:
      • Raw Text
      • BBCode
  • Advanced, intellectual window behaviors & animations.
  • Skins
  • Emoticons
  • Clickable web URLS for easy viewing. No more retyping a long url a friend sends you.
  • Customizable sound options.
  • Expose - great way to clear your screen of windows when you are in combat.
  • Addon Compatibility: (Always make sure you are running the latest versions.
    • Prat
    • DBM

    Pazza, with such an abrupt and extended leave of absence I fear that something detrimental has happened in your life. I hope that isn't the case. Either way I wanted to thank you for your contribution in WIM. It was one of the most essential addons made and that is why so many people are clamoring for an update. I wish for your return as well, and hope that my guess is wrong and we find you well when you do.

    i love your addon. been a WIM user from the start. there is a little inconvenience that i have been having lately that was wondering if you could address for me.

    in a chat window itself, when i click the history button it isnt opening to that person's history. just simply opens the viewer then i have to scroll though and find find the person i am looking for. i am not sure if this is how it is intended to work, but is there any way you could make clicking that little icon in someone's chat window open to that specific person's history? i think this is a great idea, just sayin :) thanks.

    Thanks for making this mod its awesome! The ONLY thing I think that could improve this, is the option to not automatically begin replying when someone whispers you. A lot of the time when someone whispers me ill be moving and have to stop and delete a bunch of "wwwwwwwww's", lol.

    There is a setting in the mod that allows you to prevent WIM from taking control of the screen when you receive a new message. Check under window behavior in the settings menu.
