About Persistence of Chattiness

Normally pressing Enter brings back the last non-numbered chat type, like /g or /s. This addon makes the chat system remember the numbered channels as well, so that once you start talking on (say) channel /7, pressing Enter will default to /7.

It's a truly trivial addon, but I wanted it to happen automatically, and that requires OnLoad. Claiming credit for this would just be embarassing. :-)

If you would like whispers to also be sticky, then open the POC.xml file in Notepad or Wordpad or whatever, and make the change described in the instructions there.

The name, of course, is inspired by the famous Dali painting: http://www.usc.edu/schools/annenberg/asc/projects/comm544/library/images/341.html

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

"Conflicting" how, exactly? I can't fix it if I don't know what's wrong.

Edit: Update
Fixed! It was (as I suspected) knocking heads with another one of my 10 million addons - I think it may have been Jabber for FuBar, but at any rate, it works perfectly now. This really is a mod I can't live without.
THANKS :D
Hey there,
I LOVE this mod. Thank you so much for making it available!
I do have a problem, though; it doesnt seem to want to work for me anymore. I just installed the most recent version (20000) and it remains stubbornly nonfunctional.
I do have a lot of other mods installed, but I'm wondering if there's anything I should specifically be looking for? I'm clueless when it comes to troubleshooting mods, so any help would be appreciated. This is one of my favourite mods; I hate playing without it.
Thanks again!

I find it ever so slightly ironic that this was one of the things that drove me most insane about chatting in game, so much so that I even considered using an entire UI just because it had sticky channels. Took ages for it to occur to me to look for a mod that might help with that very thing ... and it turns out to be written by you, Farm. Seriously a *facepalm* moment if I ever had one.
That said, THANK YOU. Now I don't have to use that UI, and chatting will be so much less of a pain. I've also sent my friends here. :D

It works just fine for me and for everybody else I talk to. If you want help figuring out why it's not working for *you*, then you'll need to post with more information besides "it doesn't work".

bobllama -- it works for me. Maybe it's conflicting with another one of your mods? Try disabling the rest of your mods and see if it still doesn't work.

Im contantly in and out of custom channels to deal with class specific issues during a raid. Like ... "OMG! Why don't I have salv?!?" "Didn't you healbots see that we need you to judge Garr??" "Okay, so I can de these pally bracers?!?" This will be a huge help. Thank you, so much! (yes, I picked on the pallies ... we hurt those we love!) THANKS!

Just load the out of date version. If the out of date warning bothers you, edit the .toc file and change the 6 to a 7. :-)
