DESCRIPTION
Missed something said in chat? Chatterbug is a plugin to filter the
chatlog in real time, so you can follow roleplay, tales, and song lyrics.
Type a username in the search box and it will show what that player is
saying. Or use it to search for emotes and speech directed at you.
INSTALLATION
Unzip the zipfile and place the "Astleigh" folder in "Documents\The Lord of
the Rings Online\Plugins".
If you already have an "Astleigh" folder from installing other plugins,
move the "Chatterbug" folder and "Chatterbug.plugin" into "Astleigh".
USAGE
In game, load it by typing:
/plugins load chatterbug
Toggle visibility of the window with:
/chatterbug show
/chatterbug hide
/chatterbug toggle
Enter a username or search term in the search box to filter the chatlog.
Hitting ENTER will unfocus the search box.
Click "settings" to configure the chat channels that are displayed.
"Clear history" will clear Chatterbug's chat buffer.
KNOWN BUGS
* The display doesn't scroll all the way to the bottom after receiving
long text lines.
* Some emotes won't display when the emote channel is enabled. This
seems to be limited to non-targeted emotes, and emotes that don't have
user-added text (eg. /dance, /smoke).
WARNING
Use caution when showing the "combat" channel. During fighting, this
channel can accumulate a lot of text (in testing, about 1MB after running
a raid skirmish). Attempting to display this much text can crash the
client.
Up to 100K of text can be displayed before there are issues. The current
buffer size can be found in the settings window.
Click the "Clear history" button in the settings window, or unload
Chatterbug before combat.
