I miss external modules. :/ It's such a pain to turn off all those excess options. WTB: Prat Light - Hides the buttons, enables scrolling a few other, more popular features (think Chatbox).

Thanks for your complaint, i'll add it to the list. There were never external modules (except a long time ago). So im not sure what you miss.

You have profile support, use it. Its an Ace2 feature, no docs? Ask around.

Way i read this is you want me to remove modules, and maintain them as a second addon for no reason other than you being too lazy.

I'm not saying that Prat ever had external modules. But other add ons do. I could've been more clear, but I was in a hurry. Let me fix that:

"Is there any possibility of getting external modules? A lot of mods are moving to this method for memory concerns."

Thanks for the rhetoric.

You read it correctly for the most part. Unfortunately, I wrote it badly. :o I'm concerned with memory usage. That is all.

Drink less coffee, friend. There's no need to get excited. :P

Edit: I appreciate all the work that mod authors do and that obviously didn't come off my post. That I do apologize about.

Do the modules for Prat cease to use memory when disabled? If this is the case, then everything I've said is pointless and I retract it. :P

They are resident in memory when disabled.

They use the memory that their code and data take up. Most modules have almost no code in them, and the data is comprised of the strings and looalized strings. A select few use a little more memory because they have tables to rememeber stuff (like PlayerNames)


You can delete the ones you dont want to load if you feel its worth the effort. I'm assuming you know enough to tell when memory usage is a meaningful metric.

Prat 1.0 Has Been Superceded By Version 2.0 Which Is Now On The Trunk.


It is Beta 1, you will lose settings in the upgrade process. Remember to turn stuff back on.

Please use the issue tracker to report issues.

Dissabeling the fontsize pluging fixed it, but for the out of date issue...
Did they do an "invisible" patchy? Cos i havent had a download yet, and patch day is tomorrow (or in ab out 3or5 h for content patch and 5or7h for normal maitnance) (I play on EU server)

If you use the fontsize plugin you need to set the font size using prat, not the chat frame menus.

Thank you for the information, Sylv. I do appreciate it. :) The only reason I am asking is because I'm having some problems with memory right now (mostly due to tainting, I think). Hopefully, 2.03 will eliminate some of it, but we'll see.

Thanks for your hard work. :)

would it be possible to set up a BucketEvent and watch CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL_JOIN so that when someone logs in and joins multiple channels, one doesn't get spammed with 3 messages (XXX joined channel. XXX joined channel.)

I know we are able to completely block these messages, but that is a bit too extreme.

Yeah, its a great idea. If you want to try and code it using prat, prat's got a bunch of nice features to make development of chat mods easier.

Not sure what you'd do with the events when you had to display them since channel messages can be all colored differently, and different frames can have them turned on and off independantly
