Remove channel names completely? I color each of my channels differently so I have no need for [1] or [Raid Leader].
Color names in sentences.
Shorten or remove things like [Battleground] and [Raid Warning] to [BG] and [RW] or all together removed.
Currently I'm using Chatbox, Chatmod, Cleanchat and Confab. Just for a bit of each to get an end result I like. It's kinda extreme.

Sorry if any of this has already been said.
Simply set the Replace-Name to "" (none).

One of the TBC patches broke the TBC branch for Prat before I got into the beta. I know Krtek has said he does not have much time at the moment and I am still in the process of digesting how to tackle things.
Is there one or two things I can disable to make this go away for now and get most of the functionality or is it really important? :x
Hello, what a great mod you have here. I've got a question thou. I have already removed the chat buttons via the buttons module but I'd also like to remove the "chat options" button which always pops-up when I try to click a chat name with my mouse. Thats really annoying.
Anyway, how to make that "button" go away ? I have no idea what disabling chat menu from prat does but it seems to do nothing for me.
jukkis: there are two types of chat buttons: the chat menu (the thing that looks like a cartoon speaking) and the chat buttons (the things that point up and down). Disabling both the chat menu and the chat buttons can be done separately. I added this flexibility to accomodate yahoos like myself who like to have like 1 frame that has the chat buttons off in a corner someplace but like to have all that suppressed in all the other frames. It is probably worth noting that tThe chat menu only appears for chat frame 1.
kaltina: i got most of the mainline version of prat working in the beta. there were some casualties which i have not had time to work through yet. but the core functionality seems to be working just fine after a couple of adjustments like using SecureHook and whatnot. i will try to have a refreshed version in the TBC branch soon. sorry for the delay.
Ah thx for the info. The other question I had remains unanswered however. Is there no way to remove the "chat options" "button" ? (the thing where you press right mouse button and get the chat options panel with lock window, rename window and etc options. If there is no way to remove that is there a way to move it around the chat frame ? Its really bothering me cos its stuck in the WRONG place :(

Hmm.. there may be a way to move that someplace. It's basically frame associated with the chat window tabs, so maybe another frame can be added that does the same thing and tabs be disabled. I don't know for 100% sure without more detailed research. At the moment I would not expect anything related to this until the next content push that will change the rules that all the addons play by.
I would use Prat if it would put a scroll to bottom button inside the actual chat frame instead of next to it. Everything else it does that I need, but that one thing. I don't have room in my UI for the buttons on the left side. :/

You can do that in the default UI under interface options... can't remember the exact name of the option, but it locks the chat frames so they don't respond to being mouse-overed and the tabs don't appear...
I use a number of panes, many grouped.
For some reason since installing Prat it now defaults to Auctioneer instead of the general tab each time i lgin. Not a massive problem, just a pain in the ass.
Is there any way to encourage it to default to the general tab, or is there a particular likely part of Prat which would have caused this that can be removed?
OK I have a problem. When I enter a Battlegrounds for the first time after logging onto my Character I'm getting no BG chat. I unlock my chat frames and check which channels I belong to the one for battlegrounds is blank, but there is an arrow. I'll click the blank and I'll start getting BG chat. There will be a check mark next to the blank spot which would signify that I'm in the BG channel. This happens everytime I log in for the first time or if i switch toons and then come back to my previous toon.

i have this problem too, and would rather not install an extra addon just to fix this simple thing. i'm not sure if it's a Blizzard thing since it didn't happen w/o Prat.
Nice attitude... is this the only reason your active on the forums ? telling people to go code it themself.. grow up and help or shut up and lurk.
The addon is provided as a service, and this thread is here to point out errors/faults and request features.
If the author doesn't want to provide this or doesn't require the feedback i'd rather hear it from him then some smart ass remark.

Hopefully I'm missing a solution to this. Anyone?

I always assumed it was because they appear in the raid as Timoty but in the bg channel as Timoty-Dragonmaw.
People from your own server however should appear correctly atleast mine does :D
Hmm.. was playing pug last night... not a lot of players from my server so i didn't notice that.
Still, i would like to see this working for BG.
Go code this feature yourself :D

I use the ShowMyChat addon to correct this.
