Hello I used to use this script on retail to make my chat tabs stop flashing.
hooksecurefunc(“FCF_StartAlertFlash”, function(self) FCF_StopAlertFlash(self) end)
Could someone fix this to make it work for TBC? I don’t want to get a complete chat replacement addon like Prat to do this one little thing.
I can’t see any reason that wouldn’t work. How is the code being called?
Is it possible a prior error is preventing this line of code being run?
Hello Fizzlemizz,
it seems you are my only hope. I just created a US account leveled to 10 so i can talk to you.
Years ago i disabled my “Chat Frame Tab Flashing” and i can not turn in ON again.
I uninstalled WoW Retail as well as classic. Even got a new PC (not because of that issue ofc)
Please tell me how can i turn this back on
Whats the code for this?
Technical support and GM’s could not help me.
Sidenote:
I have a 2nd bnet account. If i log in with my 2nd bnet account it is working!
So the game itself is working properly.
The only obvious reason I can think of is that you have an addon installed for that account that is preventing the flashing as the code above suggests.
A quick suggestion would be to rename the Interface folder for the game version in question (_retail_, _classic_, _classic_era_) to something different and then logon and see flashing is back (this will temporarily kill off all your addons).
A new Interface folder will be created with an empty AddOns folder below. After logging out, these can be deleted before renaming the old folder back to Interface
If flashing worked without addons, you will have to then find the addon preventing it, like searching the AddOns for file containg FCF_StartAlertFlash or checking the options for any addon that is chat related.
