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 "Don't load", "Disabled", and "Enabled"

You can report any bugs you find here:

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


Prat has just about every feature you can think of, and then some. Really. When I get some more time, I'll try and put together a full list (Even I have lost count)

(Thanks to Dreamsight for this partial list)

* Change arrows, buttons, mouse scroll for chat scroll, scroll speed
* you can add color per channel, color per lvl, color per class
* timestamps
* timestamp color
* whether to show timestamp (what format the timestamp should be in)
* whether to show players lvl
* you can select the option for channel "stickys" (last channel you used you auto use when hitting enter, that sort of thing – or last thing someone said)
* change the looks of the chat's editbox - as well as where it appears (you can even undock it and move it to where you'd like it to be)
* chat fading, fading delay
* You can change the font to a list of fonts, add an outline to it, monochrome it (if you don’t mind messing with files a bit you could prolly even add other fonts to that list)
* change the chat frame/chat box appearance
* set Chat history
* set channel abbreviations
* set brackets and color(or something instead of brackets)round player/lvl
* alt invite option (press keyboard “alt” button and click on the player’s name to auto inv them)
* raid icon
* invite links
* info keeping
* url copying
* full chat copying + options (html,bbcode, plain, forum) + copy button
* allows pop-up msgs
* enables tell target /tt
* Alias options
* altnames options
* you can enable/disable all prat modules - dont have to have the ones you dont use running
* change chat sounds (incoming and outgoing as well as per channel
* acheivement info, and clickable links to say "grats"


For those interested:

There is an additional folder Prat-3.0_HighCPUUsageModules.

Note: These features use CPU, so they have been placed in a special folder so that is 100% clear.

I have a friend with a *really* long RealID name.
Been trying to use CustomFilters to shorten it with no success.
The post on http://my.curse.com/blogs/sylvanaar/...omfilters.aspx gave me some ideas but i cant seem get it to work.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

tab borders

I have a little request, can it be possible to customise tab borders? I don't want anything fancy, in fact I just want to remove the borders because they are so ugly.

Thanks

cursor movement in new realid or whisper chat tab

Hi, I found a little problem. I set my whispers and real id whispers to show in new chat tabs, but when I pressed enter to open the edit box under those chat tabs, I still needed holding the Alt key to move cursor. (I had canceled the option "Using Alt key to move cursor" in edit box module already.)

Having reinstalled WoW and Prat along with the other AddOns I realized a change in the behavior of Prat concerning Tab-Completing names.

When I Type "/i V" a small window pops up with the only person starting with V that's online in our guild and a "Press Tab" message below. If I click that name I'll invite the person. If I press Tab once though it prints a list of every toon starting with "V" that's in the guild. Pressing Tab again cycles through each and every toon starting with "V" (eventually getting me to the right person). I recall Prat priorizing to/exclusivly auto-completing to those who're online (which really makes more sense since I can't invite or whisper offline toons anyway).

Is this a setting with Prat or a change in a later version or something different alltogather?

Sorry if this question has already been answered before - I wonder is there a search function for AddOn comments?

Strange. I see it just fine. Try with only Prat running.

Prat doesnt currently process the events that those messages are associated with.

I looked into it, it looks more involved than I would like right now - I did the same thing with chat notices and it turned into a larger project than I wanted.

i.e. When in a party and I complete a quest or pick up a quest item it sends a party message out every single time.
Are you sure it's Prat and not Carbonite that's doing the announcing?

How do I turn this off - it's driving my group members nuts.

I am having an issue getting "Set Focus" to work when Prat is enabled. Sometimes i get LUA errors (they seem completely random and only happen once per login, so i dont have that atm) and other times a pop-up occurs stating

"Prat-3.0 has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI. You can disable this addon and reload the UI. --Disable -- Ignore --"

It seems to have only started happening since the little quickpatch earlier this week.

This seems to happen intermittently as well. Yesterday and Today i was not able to set a focus and would receive the error message above. I downloaded and recopied prat. Logged back in and same issue. Just now, i logged out and then back in and i can set a focus just fine.

*UPDATE 5-9-11* After some googling, it turns out that a lot of addon's are having the issue because of issues on Blizzards end. Updating my findings so that others may benefit and still be able to use this wonderful mod! The focus issues can sometimes be remedied by using Focus'ing macros (because the issue is in the drop down menus).

TY for the wonderful Addon.

Chat Tabs

I've been on and off Prat for years now. Not because I don't like it but because I am extremely picking about my UI and Prat always falls one spot short, the Chat Tabs! Well after Chatter went buggy, Cellular lacked enough options for me and the rest I just didn't want to go through again I'm back.. with some help:

http://www.wowinterface.com/download...nChatTabs.html

DamnChatTabs will finally get rid of those, well, damn chat tabs! Woohoo, solid, non-buggy Prat finally with the last option I want! I'm posting for anyone else pulling their hair out about this one last piece of their UI.
