having the non-store version (and no store code, probably since i bought it back in 2012)
I never really used the chat features, but i'd guess AIML is tough to get approval for, not being a standard c# library, and the AIML codebase is lengthy regex's and so on for the chat recognition/parsing elements.
SM does use XMPP/Jabber, which is google talk, not google hangouts. I can still use it, but, as mentioned, google hangouts is trying to emphasise Google+ and video chat (both terrible ideas), which means they're slowly disabling the chat features in Google Talk via XMPP, like federation, which is using the XMPP chat functions. Perhaps, If it were SIP, or something like microsoft lynx, there could be accomodations made with some of the SIP handshakes (tech stuff)
What might work is Slack, but it's another layer on top of XMPP's normal chat language, and i'm not sure of the security implications on Slack. The app is nice, as it uses JSON and what looks like bootstrap to make it all look pretty and pop into place. there's realtime chat, which works a lot like google talk on the gmail site, or like facebook messenger, and is designed to be a private hosted channel that anyone can join into if they get approval (and since its JSON, it's also easy to set up a chat bot as well to hook in as a bot using the API, similar to AIML)
GitHub - Inumedia/SlackAPI: .NET Implementation of the Slack team communication platform API.
i.e. the Slack API is JSON HTML, with a few "nice" things like Google talk used to have, i.e. thumbnails, audio, file attachments for uploading screens, that kind of thing
Slack
it would be possible to chain lots of conversations from many users on the same user channel, which is interesting, by running as a bot (irc bot)
Slack
Nope.any plan for Slack/Discord alternative service support?
Just tried it but seems not supporting multiple HB sessions well. for example two toons signed in the same local Gmail accounts but when receive /status command from remote account only one status of toon will return.
Maybe it should work fine with different local Gmail accounts but I have many WoW account so this is not so convenience, and Google also prevent me from creating too many accounts (phone verification).
I'm really agree with you and Google is always shutting down service which does not profit (well). Google Reader can be a good example.
Slack is a really great alternative, it has built-in bot user support and good documentation, their service is more stable than GTalk as Slack won't shut down within years foreseeably I think.
A possible bug: map switching with loading screens are also marked as Disconnect messages this will spam the chat.
Nope.
This is not a bug in Sharp Messenger, this is something the HB API (or possible WoW API) is not allowing me to detect properly. So it's either not spamming at all or spamming too much of it, which can be turned on or off in the settings.

- Disable disconnect notification by default, it's annoying (also triggered by map switching, enter bgs, etc.), atm i have to turn it off for all my accounts one by one.
- Show recap before taking screenshot, this could provide more info.
- Avoid taking screenshot in battlegrounds. i want the screenshot feature enabled by default but disabled in bgs, this could be helpful so i don't need to toggle the screenshot setting every time.
- What do you mean by recap?
OK, that's definitely something I have to look into....
This is part of the screenshot the plugin takes, but no more useful information, actually i think the plugin could toggle the "Recap" button before taking screenshot.
I'm in the trial and had problems with configuring.
The plugin wants to have GoogleTalk data - but Google Talk isn't available since last year february.
and now ?![]()

and now?![]()
Once again, so that I am sure I understand correctly. You can see the *whole* screen inside the screen shot normally....
This is part of the screenshot the plugin takes, but no more useful information
