Simplified chat

[Politig]

I recall an addon that would change the chat messages from looting to something else, for example:

"You receive 1 gold"

would become "+ 1 gold"

Anyone know of this addon?

MSBT does this, only in its notification area rather than in the chat.

MSBT is short for Mik's Scrolling Battle Text.

I know this used to be done via lua-based chat addons, not sure if it's been added in Chatter and the like. Anyhow, here's the code I've been using before I quit. It might be out of date but it's all I got. The text between " " is what the message will be replaced with. "%s" stands for name of item and "%d" stands for quantity. Just slap it in your chat addon's lua file somewhere and see if it works:

-- [[ Loot stuff ]]
LOOT_ITEM = "%s ++ %s"
LOOT_ITEM_MULTIPLE = "%s ++ %sx%d"
LOOT_ITEM_SELF = "++ %s"
LOOT_ITEM_SELF_MULTIPLE = "++ %sx%d"
LOOT_ITEM_PUSHED_SELF = "++ %s"
LOOT_ITEM_PUSHED_SELF_MULTIPLE = "++ %sx%d"
LOOT_MONEY = "++ %s"
YOU_LOOT_MONEY = "++ %s"
LOOT_MONEY_SPLIT = "++ %s"
LOOT_ITEM_CREATED_SELF = "=> %s.";
LOOT_ITEM_CREATED_SELF_MULTIPLE = "=> %sx%d."

-- [[ Achievements ]]
ACHIEVEMENT_BROADCAST = "%s !! %s"
ACHIEVEMENT_BROADCAST_SELF = "!! %s!"
NEW_ACHIEVEMENT_EARNED = "!! '%s'."

For just money related things, you could use http://www.wowinterface.com/download...hFlowLite.html
For multiple items across the board you could use http://www.wowinterface.com/download...-MiniLoot.html
