Tell me why my name is first on the author list please ? :D

Actually, /who don't return any information about bg players, so it's very tricky to add colouring information for them. There's, like said above, a problem with the realmname added in chat window too... If this feature isn't actually in Prat, there are some reason, so if you "would like to see this working for BG.". please code it yourself :D

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?

thanks

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.

It is a Blizzard bug and I used to have it long before installing Prat. There is an addon called FixMe from htpp://www.wowace.com/files that fixes that and some other things.

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.

Are you using Confab? That was reported to be causing problems with BG chat not showing up in prat. Failing that, perhaps a similar conflict with some other addon?

latest versions of Prat do not save settings. i think it's been happening since the version from the 19th of november but not sure. i havent update it in awhile.

delete old prat folder, install new one, log in game and issue
/prat editbox position bottom
moves the editbox to the bottom but on reloadui or relog the settings are lost.

thanks :)

I'd like update svn
but I don't know how can use svn

so then I edit prat module popmessage
about nickname

http://wow.somegate.com/upload_f/turtl_1164302558_PopupMessage.lua

please, test it and update

I'm not having any issues with my settings not being saved.

I would, however, like to make a suggestion/request that the "reminder" button use the default button rather than the squished scrollbar arrow texture... the arrow is kind of ugly (IMO), and easy to miss without the flashing.

hmm maybe i'll have to wipe my savedvars file for the mod & see what happens. shouldnt have to do that though >.<

still not saving settings >.<

deleted Prat from interface\addons
deleted savedvars files from wtf\...\savedvariables folder

installed newest prat log in set all settings & /rl (reloadui) and all the editbox is repositioned on the top of the chatframe even though i set it to be on Bottom. i didnt bother checking any other settings to see if they saved.

any ideas? rolling back again for now :|

edit:
i found this in the new savedvar file it created:

PratDB = {
	["namespaces"] = {
		["History"] = {
			["profiles"] = {
				["Default"] = {
					["chatlines"] = {
						[1] = 500,
						[2] = 500,
						[3] = 500,
						[4] = 500,
						[5] = 500,
						[6] = 500,
						[7] = 500,
					},
				},
			},
		},
		["PlayerNames"] = {
			["profiles"] = {
				["Default"] = {
					["usecommoncolor"] = false,
					["subgroup"] = false,
					["brackets"] = "Square",
					["colormode"] = "NONE",
					["classes"] = {
						["xxx"] = "Unknown",
						["xxx"] = "Unknown",
						["xxx"] = "Unknown",
						["xxx"] = "Unknown",
						["xxx"] = "Unknown",
						["xxx"] = "Unknown",
						["xxx"] = "Unknown",
						["xxx"] = "Unknown",
					},
					["keep"] = false,
					["tabcomplete"] = false,
					["level"] = false,
					["levels"] = {
						["xxx"] = 2,
					},
				},
			},
		},
		["StickyChannels"] = {
			["profiles"] = {
				["Default"] = {
					["on"] = false,
				},
			},
		},
		["Editbox"] = {
			["profiles"] = {
				["Default"] = {
					["position"] = "BOTTOM",
				},
			},
		},
		["Timestamps"] = {
			["profiles"] = {
				["Default"] = {
					["color"] = {
						["g"] = 0.7764705882352941,
						["r"] = 0.4784313725490196,
					},
				},
			},
		},
		["Scrolling"] = {
			["profiles"] = {
				["Default"] = {
					["ctrlscrollspeed"] = 21,
				},
			},
		},
	},
	["disabledModules"] = {
		["Default"] = {
			["stickychannels"] = true,
		},
	},
}

so the options ARE being written to the savedvar file but apparently not being applied.

thanks :)

Add my vote for that! When the scroll to bottom button feature was first added it used the proper flashing chatframe arrow which was far better than the tiny out of place looking arrow being used now. :-/

How about telling us the exact version you use, and if you use !!!libs, or standalones or embedded libraries.

Dont assume everyone else is having this issue, i can say for a fact that I am not having this issue at all, nor did I ever have it. I had started looking into it, then realized its most likely a problem with your setup, maybe some out of date stuff, who knows.

sorry :)

i have tried every version of Prat starting from 11-29 to current.
i also use Prat_Fubar2 to help with the config.
i use the !!!StandaloneLibs mods and update those + Prat with the AceUpdater "without externals".

i've tried downloading & updating prat manually with the same results.

the version of Prat i'm using now (and is working!) is r15466.

tomorrow i will try leaving the libs folder inside prat to see what happens, and post the results.

thanks for tryin to help me narrow it down :)

edit: now that i look at it more, the version i'm using (that works) has the libs folder inside it. when i update via aceupdater i tell it to do it without externals so there is no libs folder. i bet that has something to do with it :) i'm definitely gonna try it out tomorrow.

rexxen: krtek and I picked up this addon when the original author decided to give it up. since then I think it is safe to say that krtek has added some pretty solid value to the addon and it's fair to say that his attitude is just fine. Right at this moment we're in that inbetween funk where you still have a couple of weeks before the 2.0 interface API/rules/whatever you want to call it actually go live but over the last few weeks it's been great to see other author contribute to the project. I am sure the addon itself will benefit greatly from having more help to keep it moving along. One of the things that krtek and I have said before and I'll say again is that there are some things that are "nice to haves" that we may want to add eventually and there are some things that are wishlist items that we may not see as being a part of this addon. When krtek or I ask that someone code something, particularly with a smiley after it, it's does not reflect an attitude problem in the least. Again, more collaborators on the project is a good thing especially for features where someone can come in and be a champion for adding it in. That's kinda how it has to work since this is a hobby that we do in writing addons and playing WoW is a hobby that we enjoy as well. :) So relax and please feel free to contribute ideas and be part of the ebb and flow of Prat development.

I just committed a big update for the TBC branch of Prat. This trues up the TBC branch with the current mainline trunk version of Prat only with funky 20000 interface adjustments so it should work on the PTR and in the TBC beta (which seems to be the case for me anyway). Please report any issues you have with the TBC branch. Thanks!

P.s. Let's also talk a little design shop if please. Which modules would you consider "core" and which modules would you consider "extras"? I would like to propose that we split the modules up a bit so that people new to Prat can get their feet wet with the "core" then they can rub a little funk on it with "extras". Please add your thoughts on this.

How about on first load a small window pops up with descriptions of each module and an on/off button?

That way, someone new can get a quick overview, and later delve into the detailed settings after deciding what they (roughly) need.

i don't use the !!!Libs only because they are not always updated timely. :)
i prefer to manage the eleventy billion libraries as stand alones instead. :)
actually it's not hard to manage it at all with that winupdater thingy. :)
