Broker: ChatAlerts

Addon that shows on screen messages for certain events and channel activities. For all those people like me who can't keep track of chat frames while raiding 😉

New –

• Added 'Raid Warning' as possible text alert output.
• For text alerts assign any of the possible areas provided by display addons (SCT, MSBT, Parrot)
• Make messages sticky or floating for SCT, MSBT, Parrot or the Blizzard Floating Combat Text
• Test text alerts for all message events in the 'Test Alert Locations' section in the options.
• Show class colors for author of messages.
• Included Battle.net conversations.
• 'Yell' no longer bundled with 'Say' but own event.
• Option to show alerts in combat and out of combat.
• Option to wrap lines at a specific line length.
• Channel and chat settings shown in their respective colors in tooltip.

Usage –

• Set global option where all alerts will be displayed. For each messsage event and channel an individual display location can be selected.

• Default UI Frame is fallback location if non-available locations is set for display. This way temporarily disabled addons won't mess with your settings.
