- About Eloquence
What Is It?
Eloquence is a linguistic mod that gives you control over communication. You can apply different levels of chat filters for yourself and others, trim long messages into clickable links, modify channel headers, apply colors to players names, and manage spam in lots of ways.
I. Filters
Eloquences biggest feature is the selectable filter settings. Anyone can appreciate its spell-checking and caps-squashing filters, while roleplayers will enjoy the various dialects. You can filter your own chat to other players, or you can keep your filtered experience totally private.
AVAILABLE FILTERS
Spell Book
The most basic yet important filter. Corrects common spelling and grammatical errors, reduces out-of-control repetition, and keeps people from shouting with all caps.
Decompression Engine
Expands Warcraft and MMO acronyms. Translates cryptic expressions like 288 lw lfw! and LF!M SMA PREF TANK!!! into plain English
Emote Whiz
Verbalizes smilies, emoticons, and other ideogrammatic expressions.
Mouthwash
Replaces profanity and offensive words with more acceptable euphemisms.
Fantasy Writer
Rewrites many modern, out-of-character expressions with those found in fantasy literature.
Dialectician
Each speaker will speak in an accent or dialect based on his or her race. Eloquence detects players races through a variety of means, but sometimes this isnt possible. Players of an unknown race are filtered using Fantasy Writer.
ALLIANCE DIALECTS
Human: In-character speech with some phrases like Kings honor, friend.
Dwarf: Everythings in Scots! Ahm no shuir if that wull wirk, laddie.
Night Elf: Some Darnassian like Ashafalah and slightly formal language (few contractions).
Gnome: Quirky, brainy vocabulary and folksy cliches.
Draenei: Few contractions and some Draenei words.
HORDE DIALECTS
Orc: A few Orcish words and phrases like Loktar and Zug zug.
Tauren: Formal language with some race-specific sayings like Winds be at your back!
Troll: Thick Jamaican basilectic patois with some Trollish like Tasdingo!
Undead: A slight hiss that intensifies when they get excited. Several Forsaken sayings.
Blood Elf: Proud and cocky, with some phrases in Thelassian.
II. Chat Links
Eloquence offers two styles of Clickable Chat Links that trims long messages and tags them at the end. Clicking them will reveal the original (long) message. This way you can keep enchanters and guild recruiters from clogging your chat window! (Due to the way links are handled, it doesnt work on messages that contain linked items).
III. Headers
a. Eloquence can shorten common channel headers like [1. General] into a number [4.] or letter [G.]. Several display styles are available.
b. Eloquence can color players names based on their class and add their level, if Eloquence knows them. You can have players whose classes are unknown are assigned a random color if you wish. Eloquence can also color players names inside chat messages for easy recognition.
IV. Display Options
Eloquence features multiple miscellaneous display options to give you more control over what you see in your chat window. The options window has checkboxes for suppressing chat spam, duel announcements, drunk/sober messages, coin spam, brackets, and PvP ranks.
V. Player Data
Some features need Eloquence to know something about a player speaking. These are the race-specific Level 4 filter and the Names of Known Players setting. If these options are enabled, Eloquence will passively gather info on your friends, party/raid/guild members, and players you mouse-over. You can also have Eloquence actively gather data when you change zones and talk to NPCs. A slider lets you choose how long to keep data. You can see how many player entries Eloquence has gathered, and purge the list if you wish.
VI. Text Commands
You can apply custom filters. For example, typing /elo add gz = grats (without quotes) will tell Eloquence to turn gz (as a whole word) into grats. Custom filters are applied before Eloquences are, so you can override the defaults this way too. For example, type /elo add woot = woot to keep Eloquence from altering the word woot.
You can tell Eloquence to not filter certain players or channels. Type /elo skip Thrakzor (without quotes) to let Thrakzors chat appear normally. Type /elo channel Addon to keep the custom channel Addon from being filtered at all.

noobita saidHm. I'm creating a list of errors so that if someone comes along who is clever and programmey they can take this addon and fix it. It's such a great idea for an addon but it needs tweaking. The GetNumLaguage thing needs to be changed so people can download this without having to mess around with it. And we need to be able to add our own custom filters (they aren't working at the moment), and manually remove the default filters we don't like (grouping them by category isn't enough). If anyone wants the list of mistakes email caella. dawnspring [@] gmail . com and I'll get it to you ASAP.

DrakonFyre saidThere's a glitch when using this and Prat--when you do a /who , oftentimes, it will not show up in the chat frame.
Also, I keep getting an error with Stubby.

spitfire126 saidThis was a good addon but it's too messed up. It errors and won't let me use Petemote. Dwarf and Troll is so horribly mutilated no one can understand you, the accent is over done. I was RPing with a heavy RPer and they actually said "You don't speak Troll very good." While I used this. Until it's fixed I think I'll use Dwarvenizer or anything simular.

KriLL3 saidI love this addon, it makes wow a lot nicer.
However it now gives me an instant WoWError every time I join a bg, I don't know if it's the addon or if it's another addon it's incompatible with... I'll experiment some and get back to you.

grounded saidTo update this UI mod for 2.4, simply change the call from GetNumLaguages, to the properly named GetNumLanguages (note the 'n').
This spelling was updated by Blizzard and a legacy call was not left in. The UI mod works correctly after changing this one call. It's in Eloquence.lua line 1020 or something like that.

Adronson saidAnd I, too, pray that someone would update this. My Warcraft experience has diminished considerably since 2.4 came out and I was forced to disable Eloquence. This addon is a delight.

KriLL3 saidI second the motion misaido. Eloquence is the only thing that makes WoW playable and it's quite broken in 2.4 :(

misaido saidAre there currently any plans to update Eloquence to be more compatible with the 2.4 patches? This is such a great mod, it's one of the few things that makes WoW playable. Please don't let it fall by the wayside.

Xaximus saidIs there any way to have Eloquence display FS, WTS, WTB, etc. with those acronyms instead of "Selling" and "Buying"? Using "/elo add" doesn't seem to work.

Boxie saidGreetings... I used this mod in the past, but alas, my pc died... So now I'm thinking of installing it again, and no worries: I will.
I just had a question. If I remember correctly, other players would not see the text I see, when -I- am speaking with them, are they? I can't remember the actual example, but I typed something, elo changed it, so I saw something different on my screen. Though, the person I was talking to, saw the thing I typed...
I know it's a complex way of formulating it, I'm sorry. Is there a way that other people see the ELO-version of my typing?
Further more, this is an excellent mod!

spitfire126 saidMight I make a suggestion for elo when it comes to checking the remove brackets option? When I use it, i works for languages, but looks messed up for custom languages. Such as...
Katerinna says in Draenei: Arkanon Poros.
Katerinna says: Draconic Arkanon Poros.
Is there anyway to fix it so it works with Lore and makes sense? I've also had moments where sentances didn't make sence at all due to how certain races talk, as opposed to what I meant to say. Such as...
"How are you doing, Paul?" changing to "How are you doing? Paul?"

ElrickEnonimis saidQuestion: is there a way to get opposing faction's gibberish translated so you can understand it? Meaning, when my ally guy is being taunted by a horde, i'd like to know what he is saying. Is this possible?

hollywood7128 saidI was wondering, is there any way to "trick" Eloquence into thinking my character is a different race? I have two troll characters, and one is very down to earth, a hunter, and the other is a mage, who is very well educated. I dont' want my mage to talk the same as the hunter, and was wondering if I could somehow make him talk like the gnomes, who use big words and such.

Twum saidWith Fantasy Writer turned on the silly thing is translating "Brutal" into "Brotherl" And Brotherl doesn't mean anything, lol.

Twum saidOne more thing, it would be great to be able to add a variable in the replacement section. Something like:
/elo add :) = *%me% smiles*
which would actually output: *Twum smiles*

Twum saidLove the mod, well thought out and architected. However I have a personal dislike for the replacement of emoticons with a "!" It can really misscommunicate your mood. I was attempting to modify the translation to be a *emote* format.
ie :) = *smiles*
but it comes out as: \**smiles**
Could you please tell me where to modify the code to get the result I want or how to properly add the translation?
