Looks nice, it's in the wrong section though, since it's an addon.

Oh, geez, it's 4:30 in the morning here, I'm just kinda tired =(. Don't worry, I'll get my grammar and logic back in the morning.

Lua is a name, not an acronym, so it's Lua and not LUA.

And bro, are you kidding me? Your whole 20kB addon can be an one-liner...

local gm = GMChatFrame_OnEvent
function GMChatFrame_OnEvent(self, event, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, _, ...)
	gm(self, event, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, "GM", ...)
end

And here as a macro:

/run local g=GMChatFrame_OnEvent;function GMChatFrame_OnEvent(s,e,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,_,...)g(s,e,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,"GM",...)end

Ah, but if I recall, that only works if Blizzards own GMChatUI is loaded, which it isn't, unless you talk to a real GM first.

EDIT: I got a screenshot for people that want to see:

EDIT: I also couldn't get your version to work... Have you tried it? Or am I missing a step?

HP, what server is that? I'd like to join it.

Woops forgot LoadAddOn().

/run LoadAddOn"Blizzard_GMChatUI"local g=GMChatFrame_OnEvent;function GMChatFrame_OnEvent(s,e,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,_,...)g(s,e,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,"GM",...)end

I used a diff program on the original GMChatUI and your addon. The differences were minimal but critical. There were no XML changes, only Lua changes.

You also made some stupid errors. Like this:

local ListOfGMs = {Immortalmage};

This is equal to the following since Immortalmage is a variable not yet set to anything.

local ListOfGMs = {nil};

The next diff was the following line:

if ( event == "CHAT_MSG_WHISPER" ) then

instead of

if ( event == "CHAT_MSG_WHISPER" and arg6 == "GM" ) then

Simple, you removed the check wether we are GM or not, I did this with a pre-hook in my macro.

The next diff was a non-important one, removing the check for CHAT_SHOW_ICONS, doesn't matter.

The next diff was forgotten in my macro, it was the addition of this line:

table.insert(self.lastGM,arg2);

This is used only for the setting of the /r tell target, no space for it in my macro.

The next diff was a non-important one, replacing GM_CHAT_STATUS_READY_DESCRIPTION with "An Administrative Game Master must speak with you".

The next diff was a critical one not added in my macro, the removal of the GMChatFrame_IsGM check. I'm going to add that.

So my macro after this change:

/run LoadAddOn"Blizzard_GMChatUI"function GMChatFrame_IsGM()return 1 end;local g=GMChatFrame_OnEvent;function GMChatFrame_OnEvent(s,e,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,_,...)g(s,e,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,"GM",...)end

I mean the one in the picture where you're a GM.

It's a live server. It's called Torthreldrin.

I'm not a private server GM - the point of the Addon is to make it look like you're talking to a GM.

Ooooh, my bad, thanks anyway.
