2 Column Chatframes
Prat 3.0   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Prat is a chat addon framework, and collection. It consists of 30+ modules which each add some functionality to the WoW chat interface. There is literally a module for just about everything chat related. While large in size, i have been working to keep the runtime memory usage down, and eliminate the costs of the unused modules without littering the addon directory with a slew of folders.

For the options menu, type "/prat", or if you have a broker host mod installed you will get a launcher icon.

You control the load behavior of modules via the module control screen. You have 3 choices "Dont load", "Disabled", and "Enabled"

You can report any bugs you find here:

http://www.wowace.com/projects/prat-3-0/tickets/



For those interested:

There is an additional folder Prat-3.0_HighCPUUsageModules. It enables prat's 3's newest features - 2 column chatframes, and mouseover chat-hilighting.

Note: These features use CPU, so they have been placed in a special folder so that is 100% clear. Don't be afraid to try these modules because of the name. The choice to name it this way is more political than technical.
  Change Log - Prat 3.0
3.1.0 - updated chat filter code to work on live and ptr

-- Change logs are included in each zip --

Addition fixes, and other fun stuff
--

Changed the way the addon is packaged. Pulled out the high cpu module for you.
---

Added global name coloring, There is no option for it at present, it gets enabled when you use the HighCPU use pullout.

Other minor tweaks and fixes. Please continue to report any issues you may encounter.

---

Ace3 is included in the zip - it should fix issues with the config not opening on beta. I haven't tested on live.

I added a simple button module, it was hastily added, because I have been so busy playing on beta.

Fixed the copy bug which would hang the client for a few seconds then give an error.

----

Added ability to set the incoming and outgoing whisper colors independently via the blizz ui. currently this is part of the experimental module

Fixed chatlink spamming.

Cannot get two-column chat frames to work.

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to enable two-column chat frames. I have the high-cpu modules enabled from the addon screen but I cannot figure it out from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Great addon. I've had a problem for quite some time (maybe around the Naxx era when LK first came out) where I cannot resize my windows. They stay the same size for every character I make. I have installed the most recent version of Prat but it still occurs. Any idea as to why this happens?


Thanks for any help!

Great addon, been using it since the the first versions and i still love it. But now i have a problem, since ive been using CBH Viewport and wanted my chat to be on top of the black widescreen like edges that appear it resets and places it self just above the black edges which is annoying. Any ideas?

I've searched through a few of the .lua files, but can't find it.

Halpz?
Documenting the fix for those who also have this problem:

getdifficultycolor is found on line 1153 (or somewhere around there). Simply place quest in between get and difficulty, save, and you win!

Hello,

Is it possible to add in a module that removes the type of chat it is? Like remove the [Guild] or [Say] in front. I find that it wastes room and i can tell what channel it is by color.

Thanks!
