Nyari Chat

Cleaner chat for World of Warcraft. Every player message gets a header with the name, channel and time. The message sits on its own line underneath. Loot, XP and system lines stay short and tidy.

What's new

Nyari Chat

0.8.2

  • Fixed: with EllesmereUI Chat, a merge could leave a line reading "NyariChatRemove", or a duplicate of the line it replaced.
  • Fixed: with EllesmereUI Chat, saved chat it puts back later (after combat or a zone change) came back unstyled. It's restyled whenever it shows up.

0.8.1

  • Fixed: on clients whose roll lines start with a [Loot] history link, rolls showed the roll's ID as the roll and never merged into one line per item.
  • Fixed: with EllesmereUI Chat, merged loot and other merged lines could go back to full size and lose their time after a later merge.
  • Reputation gained within a minute goes on one line, each faction once with its gains added up: Rep Stormwind +35, Ironforge +7. Turn it off under Features, Reputation.
  • Skill-ups for one skill go on one line that keeps up as it climbs: Skill Maces 32 +5. Turn it off under Features, Skill-ups.

0.8.0

  • New appearances get a short Appearance line, and several in a row merge into one, like loot: Appearance [Hunting Buckler], [Leather Cap].
  • Saved chat that EllesmereUI Chat (or another addon) puts back after a reload is restyled too, keeping each line's original time. Before, those lines came back in the game's plain style.
  • Fixed: merging loot, rolls or channel notices could remove an older identical line instead of the one being merged, leaving a duplicate.
  • Fixed: two of the same item rolled at once put both winners on one line.
  • Fixed: short lines could rewrite an emote or boss line that happened to read like a game message. Each short form now only applies to its own kind of line.
  • Fixed: on clients whose language puts the item before the player, roll and loot lines could swap them.
  • Fixed: an item whose name contains "by" or "won" could split a roll line in the wrong place.
  • Fixed: turning Keep chat visible off left cards and times fully visible after the text faded.
  • Fixed: a message only mentioning a dollar amount, like "lost 20$", counted as gold selling. It now needs a sale or payment word too.
  • Fixed: without a line ID, repeat filtering hid a message in every chat window after the first.
  • Short lines, roll lines and loot lines are dimmed while Restyle chat is off, since they do nothing then.
  • /nchat test lines aren't saved with your chat.
  • Group loot rolls go on one line per item: Roll [Bracers] Kaelis Need 87 · Thornwick Greed 45 · Kaelis won. The line fills in as the rolls come in. Turn it off under Features, Roll lines.
  • /nchat test shows sample loot, roll, XP and other game lines in your chat window, to check how they look.
  • Short lines, a new settings page with a switch for each, all on by default: loot rolls (Roll Kaelis Need 87 [Item]), experience (XP +45 Kobold Vermin), reputation, quests and discoveries, spells and skill-ups, group and guild changes, away and busy, achievements and auctions.
  • Fixed: setting names and the window title could be blank in the settings window the first time it opened.

0.7.4

  • Faster in busy chat. Cards and times only follow the game's fade while a line is actually fading, instead of on every frame until the newest line fades. The slide animation moves only the bottom line on each frame instead of laying out the whole window again.
  • Fixed: a new message could skip its fade-in when older lines were fading out at the same time.
  • Long sessions in busy cities use less memory: the list of players already looked up for class colors is capped now.

0.7.3

  • Fixed: with EllesmereUI Chat, restyled lines never reached its chat windows, so chat looked like plain EllesmereUI.
  • With EllesmereUI Chat, the full look now carries over: animation, cards, the channel stripe, spacing, the smaller system text, the time column, mention highlights, and merged loot and channel notices. Clicks on names and links still land on the right line.

0.7.2

  • Mentions can be styled and colored. Highlight style: Band (tints the message, even with cards and the stripe off), Stripe, or Word only. Pick a color for your name and another for highlight words, and your name or word is drawn in that color inside the message. Highlight words now light up even when name highlighting is off.
  • Crafting lines are shortened like loot, with a Created tag: Created [Linen Bandage], and crafting several in a row merges into one line with a count. Other players' "creates" lines too.
  • Fixed: a repeated game line, like a second "You create" in a row, could miss the smaller system text size and the time.
  • Loot that comes in a run, like when fishing or looting a pack, merges into one line: Loot [Darkshore Grouper] x3, [Raw Rainbow Fin Albacore]. Repeats add up, up to four items share a line, and another player's loot merges separately. Change it under Features > Loot lines (Merge, Count only, Off).
  • /mc and /mchat were removed. Use /nc or /nchat.

0.7.1

  • New installs start with the Minimal style: a channel stripe, no cards, and new messages sliding in. Minimal now slides by default. Your current style isn't changed.
  • Works with EllesmereUI Chat. Its chat windows now show Nyari Chat's layout, with the time in the header line.
  • Other players' loot lines are shortened like your own: Loot Name [item].
  • Skill-ups, quest updates and other game messages that keep their wording now get the smaller system text size and the time.
  • Settings open in the shared Nyari window. With other Nyari addons installed, each gets its own tab there.
  • With EllesmereUI Chat, each restyled line lands on the right line in its window, not on an earlier one.
  • With EllesmereUI Chat, links stay under the right lines when scrolling far back, and jump back to newest works.
  • With EllesmereUI Chat, settings it handles itself are dimmed and say why. Old saved chat is cleared at logout.
  • Whisper windows no longer get another player's saved whispers after a reload.
  • Saved chat no longer keeps Battle.net friend names, which could point at the wrong friend after a relog.
  • Popping a tab out into a new window no longer restyles its lines twice.
  • Hide players accepts Name-Realm to hide only that character.
  • Mentions and highlight words now work with names like Zoë or Ærin, in any mix of capitals.
  • The settings preview shows the mention highlight.
  • /nchat reset puts every setting back to its default. Resetting no longer plays the alert sounds.
  • Typing a list setting with nothing after it, like /nchat keywords, shows the list instead of emptying it.

0.7.0

  • New commands: /nc, /nchat and /nyarichat.
  • New addon icon.
  • Times on every message use the same small size.

Before 0.7.0

  • Saved chat history, highlight words with their own sounds, class-colored names in messages and a jump back to newest.
  • Style presets (Modern, Retail, Classic, ElvUI, Minimal), a one-line layout, brackets and a window background.
  • Chat font, mention sound, arrow key history and a filter that keeps trading out of General.
  • Channel join and leave notices merged into one line.
  • Spam filters for gold sellers, scams, flood spam, repeated messages, recruitment, boost ads and all-caps messages.
  • Spacing presets, message grouping and system message tags.
  • Header options, word, player and guild filters, and a list editor.
  • Message cards, animations, the settings window, a copy chat button and scroll shortcuts.
