Is there a way to filter messages of just one player in the chat?

altemriel · November 2015

Hallo guys, sorry for a noob question, but is there a way to filter the messages of just one player in the chat?

I use pchat addon too. But I can`t find it there somehow.

It would be great to have this option, as there are too many messages at once popping up and when I am replying or searching for a specific message from one specific player, it gets kind of messy there.

Thanx in advance for advices!

Make a chat pane that only has Whisper enabled and whisper to the player.

yes but I mean when someone says something and it is few minutes up and I want to find it, there should be an option, filter by player, to see only the messages from that particular player. Is it not there?

or for example I am searching for a group in the chat, I write a lfg message, one player replies that he wants to group. then I wait for other people to join or other posts about lfg. I want to find then the player who first wrote the reply, cant do it, because there are tons of posts incomming there.

@ZOS_GinaBruno there should be a "filter by player", "filter by guild" , "filter by key words" (for example - filter "lfg" post, filter "lfg tank" post, filter "lfg healer" posts, filter "lfg silver" posts - option in the chat window!

Why is this basic feature not in the chat pls

?

Oh I see, you want to be able to track one player's posts in zone chat.

Yeh I know of nothing that will do that, sorry.

Not sure I'd call such extensive and even exotic filtering basic.

And yes, and add-on is the place to do it if done it be.

As far as I know this cannot be done in the 'plain' chat interface, and even addons can only add so much... like colour coding for each guild and stuff like that.

I second the suggestion above to make a chat tab just for whispers, as it helps finding these messages more easily (specially if you are in chatty guilds, groups, and zones).

That would be awesome if this would work in the chat. It happens fairly often that I answer something to a person which didn't even ask lol ..
It would already help a lot if we could change the text color of each friend, at least. F.e. having a color palette (which would open when you click on it) next to their names in the friends list.

I used to use a chat add-on that you could click on the persons name to just show the conversation between you... can't find it.. but that was long ago. This one looks like it does it too though.

I was checking out this TOM addon yesterday, but then I had two chat windows open, the regular one and this TOM one.

that was too much for me

Is there a way to turn of the chat box permanently (or at least to automaticly turn off when I dont react)? So that I just use this TOM addon window?
Because it pretty much anoys me, when the chat box opens everytime someone writes something or everytime I swich zones,...

altemriel · November 2015

And is there a chat command that will enable me to write a message to my friends only?

I know there is /group, /z, /guild#, but to friends?

altemriel · November 2015

and what does the /yell command do?

altemriel · November 2015

sorry for noob questions

Khenarthi · November 2015

/yell makes your text show in red (by default) to everyone in the area.

I do not know any commands to message all your friendslist though... maybe there's an addon for that? Like the addons some guilds use to email all members. Sorry I can't help with addons, I use close to none...
