ChatAssistant Classic

WoW chat channels under control: helps to respond to messages in channels and send messages.

Tired of watching chat to find a group or selling offers?
Tired of manually sending chat messages on a timer to sell something or find someone for a group or help?
Tired of sitting and reading chat instead of enjoying the game of gouging out a murloc's eye?

ChatAssistant watches chat for you and notify when search phrases are matches...
Just set what criteria to watch (for e.g. DPS in 1st criteria line and RFC in second criteria line)
and ChatAssistant will alert you when there is a match! In reply you can whisper defined message, invite or ignore player messages (for next notification).
ChatAssistant useful for more than just group searches...
Set ChatAssistant to watch for `WTB` or `WTS` chat messages too, the possibilities are literally endless ∞

The AutoPost feature will be enabled right after checkbox is checked.

You can send messages in multiple lines in channel, just use separator | for Post Message Box.

### Commands ###
Show Help: /CA help
Enable/Disable: /CA or /ca or Right Mouse Click on MiniMapIcon
Enable/Disable MiniMapIcon: /CA mmi
Update Defaults to current release: /CA reset
Configure: /CA config

### Example Configuration ###

1. You will see it in default options configuration - or screenshot in Images tab

2. Added feature to explicitly indicate 'start from' and 'end with' specified search criteria in the word from message with symbols \- in the beginning or end of search criteria.
Example: Search criteria is \-LF\- (this is mean that !before and !after symbols 'LF' there is must be space or no any other symbol in message to compare)
As result:
- OK Message sample is: 'lf group'
- Does not fit: 'LFG to BRD' and 'Half Life'

### Chosing the Right Criteria -- Troubleshooting ###
If you think you may be missing some chat messages, keep an eye on chat to see whats being said
Did someone say `LF1M` and you were only matching on `LFM`?
Matches are case-insensitive, so no need to add `DPS` and `dps` etc...
If some Options UI elements aren't showing up after an update, click the `Defaults` button to reset
