Elephant (official thread)

[pb_ee1]

Since the English speaking community told me many times that my mod was really not correctly named, I've decided to rename it to a new and nice and efficient and powerful and <put whatever cool you want here> name.

Old name: ChatLog (thread)
New name: Elephant (this thread)

Why Elephant? Because elephants are well known to have a very good memory, and it is the aim of this addon: remember what you typed on your keyboard.

Quote, from the old thread:
Elephant logs the chat for you in the background. It saves the WHISPERS, RAID, PARTY, SAY, YELL, OFFICER and GUILD chats separately, but also all general chats (General, Trade, LocalDefense, ...) and custom chats you are currently on.

Combat and battleground logging have been added recently. You can look at the logs, click on the player names and/or items inside, choose which channel you want to log, copy/paste to an external application, and much more...

Nice new name Although I wasn't complaining about zoning to you directly, just wondering why Thanks for the heads up ;p

[pb_ee1]

Ho no worries, I would rather thank you for warning me that it seems that it increases a bit the loading time

I hope you'll like the new icon btw.

PS: We're playing on the same server!

I'll look into this when I'll get back home.

Note that you do not need to translate DISABLE, EMPTY, ... as they should be printed in game with the correct translation. Please post here if it not the case.

AceEvent-2.0-44693 (Ace2):955: in function <Interface\AddOns\Ace2\AceEvent-2.0\AceEvent-2.0.lua:948>

With elephant, and cleared lua

[pb_ee1]

Should be fixed in latest release.

[Sanalia]

I get "Elephant-2.5\Event-Message.lua:306: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)" on login with fresh install too.
Also, what is your characters name pb_ee1? ;p

[Darklink]

now it's

Kyron, you should simply leave any channel you joined when installing the release of Elephant that was bugged, and rejoin them immediatly. That should fix the problem.

Elarenda, try to update Elephant, it seems you do not have the latest release. My character name is Lona, btw
