Forever Console

Features

• Saved commands. A narrow strip under the title bar holds an icon per command, and a click runs it. The + or /cmd pin saves a line with a name and an icon from the spellbook or the macro icons; a right click edits, moves or deletes it. Out of combat /cast, /use and /target run from the click; in combat they go to the chat box, where Enter runs them.

Features

• A minimap button: a click opens or closes the console, a right click opens the settings, dragging moves it around the minimap. /cmd minimap on|off shows or hides it.
• A settings panel (Options → AddOns → Forever Console, a right click on the minimap button, or /cmd options) with check boxes for the dock, time stamps, the minimap button, chat capture, GM mode and the echo, and sliders for opacity, scale and font size.

Bug fixes

• The suggestions no longer tag /s, /w, /roll, /reload, channel numbers and the other commands the console now runs itself as "chat box", and /cmd help says they run here; only commands that really go to the chat box keep the tag.

Features

• A line that starts with = shows what a Lua expression gives (= UnitName("target"), = Foxie). A table shows as a link that lists its keys when clicked, 40 at a time; names and fields are suggested while you type.
• /cmd copy [n] puts the last n output lines (all by default) into a box with the text selected, so Ctrl+C copies it.

Bug fixes

• Enter in the console no longer just opens the chat box for /s, /y, /w, /r, /g, /p, channel numbers, /afk, /reload, /roll, /who, /invite and similar; they run from the console. Commands the game allows only from the chat box (/cast, /use, ...) still go there, and the console says why. Not yet checked in game.

Changes

• /tongues adult on|off is suggested.

Changes

• /tongues tab suggests on and off.

Changes

• /tongues mode suggests off and coded, and /tongues book is suggested.

Features

• /tongues also suggests dict, translate on|off, learn and forget.

Features

• With Forever Tongues loaded, a say or yell typed in the console (/s, /y, and /tongues s|y|p|c) shows the Tongues hint as the first suggestion row: the speaking mode and what the other faction will read. The line still goes to the chat box, so the speaking mode and the ! and * prefixes apply there. /tongues now suggests all its current commands (mode off|spell|coded, who, notify, hide, options, tab, ...). Not yet checked in game.

Features

• On the Forever client GM mode can be turned on with /cmd gm on for the local Forever server, and a . suggests that server's commands with help: .learn my trainer (every class spell), .learn my quests, .learn all languages, .cheat taxi|god|cooldown|casttime, .additem set, .modify speed walk|swim|fly, .go creature id and more. The 1.12 client keeps the CMaNGOS list. Not yet checked in game.

Bug fixes

• Loads again in the 1.12 client. 0.10.0 stopped with "too many upvalues" (Console.lua:763) because the window builder used more than the 32 outer variables Lua 5.0 allows; it is split into smaller parts, and a test now checks every addon file against the Lua 5.0 limits.

Features

• GM saved places. /cmd mark <name> asks the server .gps and keeps the map and coordinates, /cmd go <name> sends .go xyz back there, and /cmd marks and /cmd unmark <name> list and remove them. A click on a .lookup result (item, item set, spell, quest, creature, teleport) puts .additem, .additemset, .learn, .quest add, .npc add or .tele with it into the input line; nothing is sent until you press Enter.

Features

• /cmd find <text> shows only the output lines that contain the text, with the match in yellow; /cmd filter console|reply|chat shows only the console's own lines, the server's replies or what commands printed to chat. Both work together, the title bar says what is filtered, and /cmd filter off (or /cmd find alone) shows everything again.

Features

• Favourites. /cmd fav stars the last line (or /cmd fav <line>), /cmd unfav removes the star, and /cmd favs lists the favourites. A click on the * of a history row toggles it. Favourites come first in the history search, and in the suggestions when they start with what you typed.

Features

• ; puts several commands on one line, run in order on the one Enter (\; for a literal ;). /cmd alias <name> = <line> names a line: typing the name (plus extra words) runs it. /cmd alias lists the aliases, /cmd unalias <name> removes one, and aliases show in the suggestions.

Features

• The console is docked at the top by default. It is as wide as the screen and slides down from the top edge when its key opens it, then back up when closed. /cmd dock free keeps the movable window instead, and /cmd dock top docks it again.

Features

• /cmd opacity <0-100> sets the background, /cmd font <8-24>|default the size of the output and the input line, and output lines carry a dim HH:MM:SS time stamp (/cmd time on|off, on by default); all three are remembered and suggested.

Features

• The window resizes by dragging its bottom-right corner or with /cmd size <width> <height>, /cmd width <n> and /cmd height <n> (with suggestions); the size is remembered, stays within limits and on the screen, and /cmd reset restores size and position. A taller window shows more output lines, a wider one a wider suggestion list.

Features

• The output of a command run from the console, and the server's reply to a dot command sent from it, show only in the console; /cmd echo console|chat|both changes that (default console). Commands typed in the chat box keep their output in chat.

Bug fixes

• A history line recalled by the 1.12 edit box itself also stays in history mode, so Up, Up, Up, Down keep walking the history and no suggestion list opens.

Bug fixes

• On an empty line Up/Down walk the command history again, and a recalled line stays in history mode in the 1.12 client instead of switching to suggestions; typing or Tab ends the walk.

Bug fixes

• /cmd gm and /cmd capture suggest on / off; Up/Down in any argument list (.learn , .lookup , /cmd gm ) only move the highlight and Tab takes it, as for commands.

Bug fixes

• Up/Down only move the highlight in the suggestion list, so the typed text and the list stay; Tab, Enter or a click takes the highlighted command (Enter on a highlighted history line runs it). With no list open, Up/Down still walk the history. Emote rows say "emote" once.
