About
I really enjoyed the original Watch The Chat for it's Simplicity. I felt that it needed the ability to see battle.net whispers, and the ability to "Auto Start" without having to hit the show button. Along the way, I added a few additional features, and wanted to release it to the public. All credits for the original go to Zapman. It's undergone major design changes in v2.

Howto
- Compile the plugins, enable "WatchTheChat" and press the "Show" button to see logs/edit settings.

Installation
- Extract the folder inside the "WatchTheChat x.x.zip" to your plugin directory.

Known Issues
- Chat spams you if you pause the bot then enable the bot. I'm thinking I'm going to change the chat events to lua events in future versions.

Support/Bugs
- Please post here if you run into issues, or if you see a feature you would like to add in, in the future.

 

For the aliases how do you separate them? Cause I have more than one.

 

Comma separated, it trims them out so you can put A, B, C, or A,B,C and it would do the same thing.

 

Thanks, works great. Love the plugin

 

Works great, thank you ! +rep

 

Does it detect Game Master whispers?

 

2 Things:

1. It should detect game whispers (Haven't tested it yet). GM whispers should follow the same events as regular whispers.
2. If it doesn't, GM's don't actually look what you are doing in the game when they message you. You could be farming, gathering supplies/whatever. They text you, if you don't respond they auto reply to the ticket and move on. They have a textual based client that messages you, and only if they need to will they teleport/watch you in order to solve an issue.

 

hmmm as i know (from my last contac) u do not get a whisper, u have to accept that the GM wants to talk to, so ... the event for regular whispers won't fire in this case

should be this event GMSURVEY_DISPLAY - World of Warcraft Programming: A Guide and Reference for Creating WoW Addons

 

Track this Real ID whispers?

 

I tested to see if realid whispers get alerted, nothing. Could you please put this in? Would be great, thanks for the plugin nonetheless.


*EDIT* NVM, I didn't recompile all, works great! + rep!

 

I also have rewritten WTC plugin which is based on "version 1" by Zapman.
And i want to say that your version is better than my

 

will this plugin play a sound even if i have game sounds and music turned off? I wanna run the bot while I'm sleeping but have a beep wake me up if someone whispers but I cant have game sounds on or I wont sleep

 

None of plugins for monitoring use game sounds as far as I know, so answer is yes.
