Since the last SVN Update to the Prat Editbox, after i sent someone a whisper and want to send another i get this error when i hit the enter button the second time to let the Editbox show up again:

[2007/10/01 18:37:23-1265-x1]: Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2273: attempt to index field 'editBox' (a nil value):(tail call): ?:(tail call): ?:<string>:"OPENCHAT":1: in function <[string "OPENCHAT"]:1>

Heya fin, I'm not sure what changed in r50414, but my editbox border is no longer showing up. Well it is, but it is nearly transparent and changing the color does nothing to alter the appearance. Before r50414 I was able to get a nice white border around my editbox, but it's no longer doable no matter what settings I mess with it.

I think this has been mentioned before, but I'm not what happened then. Either way, every time you link something a space character is inserted before the link. Just a little annoying, that's all.

With the sound workaround in place, the:

PlaySound("GLUESCREENSMALLBUTTONMOUSEDOWN")

gets played everytime a line of text is sent, even if you have the sound set to "none" in the options. I did a little digging and the line (538 in prat.lua):

if play == nil then return end

is false because the variable, play, contains "Interface\Quiet.mp3" and is not nil.

I fixed this by changing the line to:

if play == nil or play == "Interface\\Quiet.mp3" then return end

Lastly, I read that using:

PlaySound("GAMEHIGHLIGHTFRIENDLYUNIT")

will allow the sound to play without forcing the user to hear any other sound simultaneously, unlike:

PlaySound("GLUESCREENSMALLBUTTONMOUSEDOWN")

Thanks, and great mod :)

? tbh how the hell do you notice let alone find it annoying?

Actually I notice this as well - normally because when I link something I automatically put a space in before anyway, so the double space is noticeable - but unfortunately it's a Blizzard thing, and can't be changed. (sylvanaar did say this a few posts ago; easy to miss, though.)

Heya. I know it's not very intuitive controls - my fault, I'm sorry - but it is actually possible to get the border back: play with the border width, and the padding. I wasn't able to get the border back myself at first, but after playing with all the options for a while (quite a long while) I realised I can get pretty much any style possible really (although it doesn't seem to make sense; again I'm sorry).

I'll see if I can figure out a way to make it more clear how, and what the settings affect the look.

Thanks. I've added a nil check error that should stop this showing up.

When posting errors, any additional information you can add such as if there was anything specific you know of that happened when it occurred, what you were doing at the time, and how often it occurs, would be very much appreciated, if you have time to add them.

cheers,

Since the last SVN Update to the Prat Editbox, after i sent someone a whisper and want to send another i get this error when i hit the enter button the second time to let the Editbox show up again:

[2007/10/01 18:37:23-1265-x1]: Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2273: attempt to index field 'editBox' (a nil value):(tail call): ?:(tail call): ?:<string>:"OPENCHAT":1: in function <[string "OPENCHAT"]:1>

I tested a bit around...this Error is related to Prat but this erros only happens if you use the Editbox open function from Fubar_GuildFu.
Fubar_GuildFu has the Feature that you can leftclick on a Name in the Guildlist to let the Editbox open with the inserted name you want to whisper. This option for self works perfect and without erros but since the updates to prat, u get the error i posted above when i whisper with this guilfu feature to someone and then hit the Enter Button to whisper to same person again. With deactivated Prat i don't get this error above while using this GuildFu Feature. So one change in prat must do this since there are no updates to GuildFu and before the last Prat updates, Prat and GuildFu have work peacefull together.

Maybe i know where this change have been done too...Prat remebers the last person you whisper with or the last chat you have talked in (guild/raid and so on). This means you first type /w playername or /g text and the next time you only need to hit Enter and the Editbox opens with the name from the last whisper or the last used channel. Here must be the change because Fubar_GuildFu has entered the Name of the Person for me on leftklick. It looks like Prat don't know anymore that Fubar_GuildFu has opened the Editbox with a Name in it which result in the Error above.

hope this will help you...

As anyone else had issues with Prat + ClearFont2? Since 2.2 the Chatbox doesn't seem to take Clearfont2 font size settings anymore. is it a clearfont2 issue?

ooh that would be good - i was glad to see the workaround added so that i get sounds back, but disappointed that i could hear the workaround :P

i belive clearfont2 was changed a month or two ago to not touch the chat frames because prat controls font size for them.

It's just the tab menu font size doesn't work (the one on the tab on top of the chatbox), it only changes the font size for the first or first few lines (really all I wanted was that menu working) and it was fine until patch 2.2, i use WoWus to update my addons so they should have been up to date :S

edit: after enableling Font module in prat the same also happens, only the first few lines of chat get the new font type/size and the rest remain the same, very strange...

have the same error but no guildfu ...

As of 2.2.0 I'm having a problem with Prat.

I did not yet noticed when this problem actually starts, but after I've been online for a while and I press Page Up or Page Down to scroll my chatwindow, I get an error message.

The messages are as follow:

Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2508:attempt to call method 'PageDown' (a nil value)

Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2504:attempt to call method 'PageUp' (a nil value)

I scrolled 2-3 pages back to see if anyone else had this, but I couldn't find anything so posting it.

Not really a big deal to me any more, as I did get my editbox looking fairly nice, but both the border size and border color options do absolutely nothing for me. The padding option increases the size of the editbox, and the bar color option works, but the border options do nothing.
