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.

With Prat is there anyway to change the font size of the text in the chat editbox?

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!

I'm having this weird issue with all of the Achievement announcements being suppressed for Non Friend / Guild mates. Anyone else experiencing this?

Also, is there a list somewhere that I am missing that explains EXACTLY what each module does?

I can't seem to find one and not all of them are exactly self explanatory, nor am I sure if any one module requires another in order to function. Thanks.

It is, and has been.

When I turn off Prat, it works. That's how I know it's Prat.

Edit: I completely deleted Prat and it's SV, then reinstalled it. Everything's working correctly now. Odd.

I don't know if it's something I've messed up or what, but recently I reinstalled WoW and all my addons, and now when people in my guild log on or off, it doesn't show it in chat.

Help would be appreciated.

Thank-you.

I've noticed that the scroll buttons are showing up on the right side on top of the text for only the combat log when I first login. The buttons are where they should be when on the general tab.

It stays this way until I toggle scroll buttons off and back on. Then they're back on the left where they should be until I log out.

Issue?

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but I have found that when I rename how the default channels display (Trade, General, etc), for some reason the channel LookingForGroup never holds the label I give it. It always displays as [4], regardless of what tag I use. Is there anything that can be done to fix that?

I used karma for a while. I know that it doesnt work correctly with prat, but I also use WIM and with Prat+WIM the Karma message would be output ont the chatframe, and the regular one onto the WIM frame ( not right, but enough that I didnt look into it further )

For Karma and Prat to work together there would need to be colaboration between the developers.

Thanks. I know about this issue, just a low priority. You can disable the "2 column chatframes" option in timestamps if its an annoyance.
