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.

Doesn't Save Anything?

This version of Prat is not saving anything for me. EVERY TIME I reload my UI or log out or log into a new toon, I have to go back into the Prat interface and change my options AGAIN, and screw with positioning the chat box where I want it and such.

Also, is there any way to get the "editbox" color border and channel name to be brighter than the background? Right now it's so overwhelmed by the color of the background I'm having trouble reading it, but the game ground textures make make it worse if it's clear.

Has anyone got tab-autocomplete working yet?

For example, for a friend on my list "steelfistv" i could type "/t stee[tab]" and have it autocomplete.

For anyone whos noticed the issue but hasnt figured it out, your chat bubbles are being truncated into much shorter 1 liners, disable the bubbles module to fix this, there are currently no options in the bubbles module yet it seems /shrug

If you try to move the chat frame either further bottom or right it resets to its original position when ever you logout.

It's a blizzardism, you have to set it back to 'classic' -- one of the interface options

Yay! for the return of EditBox

Thanks very much for the fast update. It is much appreciated.

I noticed with the new EditBox module that the Background Texture seems to be drawn above the level of the text in the edit box, so that if I have an opaque black background texture the text is completely covered and impossible to see. Would it be possible to have the Background Texture drawn below the level of the text? It would look so much better.

Would it also be possible to have an option added to the Buttons module that would allow users to toggle the minimize buttons for additional chat frames? I personally find them super annoying.

Lastly (and this is sort of a pie in the sky request) would it be possible to make the little button that shows how many friends are online movable? I'd love to be able to have the option to make it free-floating/free-floating, locked the way we can with the actual edit box.

Good work, and thank you

I believe that's the new Blizzard 'IM' setting causing that faded appearance, not Prat. Go into Blizzard options and change the Chat setting from IM to Classic and see if that helps.

You're right. It seems extremely faded out. I think it has something to do with this new Prat update. The editbox was fine just before I downloaded it.

Thankyou for fixing it

Now I've got my texture behind the editbox once again, just gotta figure out how to get rid of blizz's white/coloured border on it (the one that's coloured to your about-to-type into)

A quick fix for restoring the Editbox module;

Navigate to \World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Prat-3.0\modules

Open Editbox.lua with Notepad.

The change the 3rd line from

Code:
if Prat.BN_CHAT then return end -- Removed in 3.3.5
to

Code:
-- if Prat.BN_CHAT then return end -- Removed in 3.3.5
This restores the module.

Now for the important part;

Hit Ctrl+H

In the Find what: box, type
Code:
ChatFrameEditBox
In the Replace with: box, type
Code:
ChatFrame1EditBox
Then click Replace All.

Re-log into your game, and you should be able to use the Editbox module once more.
