zChatWindow

Quick fix for the input text being well below the box,

using Notepad or some editor, open this file:
\Interface\Addons\zchatwindow\core.lua

edit line 41,

change from:
WindowAddAnchor( windowName.."TextInput", "right", "EA_TextEntryGroupEntryBoxChannelLabel", "left", 10, 35 )
to:
WindowAddAnchor( windowName.."TextInput", "right", "EA_TextEntryGroupEntryBoxChannelLabel", "left", 10, -4 )

Likewise. I am also experiencing problems with text defaulting back to bold after I hand in a quest or pretty much do anything in game.

Pity, I really liked the idea of a Prat-like WAR mod.

quick fix for the bold font.
in the zChatWindow folder, Open the core.lua
and change these lines (28 to 31)

LogDisplaySetShowTimestamp(EA_ChatTabManager.Tabs[i].name.."TextLog", true)
LogDisplaySetFont(EA_ChatTabManager.Tabs[i].name.."TextLog", "font_clear_medium_bold")
TextEditBoxSetFont(windowName.."TextInput", "font_clear_medium_bold")
LabelSetFont(windowName.."ChannelLabel", "font_clear_medium_bold", WindowUtils.FONT_DEFAULT_TEXT_LINESPACING)

and change them to

LogDisplaySetShowTimestamp(EA_ChatTabManager.Tabs[i].name.."TextLog", true)
LogDisplaySetFont(EA_ChatTabManager.Tabs[i].name.."TextLog")
TextEditBoxSetFont(windowName.."TextInput")
LabelSetFont(windowName.."ChannelLabel", WindowUtils.FONT_DEFAULT_TEXT_LINESPACING)

Bloody Hell. every single time I try this addon. Fonts are BOLD.
ive changed it countless times.

Moonball has the right idea. Chat bar on top thats all nothing else.

someone hack this thing to death or something. This is driving me CRAZY.

and yea.. STILL no slash commands and yes. Libslash installed as well and updated.

I'd call this mod dead.

That works less the author drama.

Anyone know of an addon or a hack of this one that just gives the input box on top? That's all I want, input box on top.

- addon shows "zChat" and "zChatWindow" active - it it intended?
- input box is bugged, type area is below the actual input box atm

The input box at the top is bugged out for me. When I hit enter and type, the words show up below the box instead of inside of it as I type.

To further elaborate on the font changing bug:

1) R-Click chat->tab options->font
2) change the font to something else
3) either say something or wait for something to appear in chat
4) chat should revert back to the original font (Myraid Pro SemiExt - Medium)

I have same, it has been reported on the tracker tho so Im sure is/will be looked into shortly; is a major ball ache tho.

Another problem I noticed last night is mouse scrolling, i have 3 tabs in 1 window general,guildetc,combat. i get the font size problem just the tab0 as always but now it seams i can scroll text in tab1, however tab0,2 are fine.

Still no slash commands. Checked saved variables, only have zChat present.

Dependencies
LibSlash

Curse client shows 1.0 from yesterday, it wont go to 1.1.
Same problems as last 2 posters mentioned.

Curse not showing because its beta, duh.
You can install by clicking on the v1.1 and then install.

Doesnt work anty better. /zchat /zc not working.

Same problem here.

to add confirmation. but I do believe this should be reported on the ticket tracker and not the discussion.

As other have pointed out.
No Worky. :(

same problem. no slash commands work. it also is reverting to BOLD constantly.
Driving me crazy.

Using 1.1 on a clean install. Slash commands dont work, using Libslash 2.2. When I type in the chat box, the cursor and text appear well below the actual box, on the same line as the Chat and Combat text.
