The class detection code is currently English-only, for the most part. I'll see if I can figure out a good way to make it multi-lingual though.
Unfortunately it doesn't work in English either. I'm running the enGB client and no names are class coloured so far.
Other than that, it's very nice though.
Small request, can you allow the user to specify their own timestamp format? I like to have mine as %H%M.%S and would rather not edit the .lua files each time there is an update ;)
EDIT: By unpacked I assume you mean running disembeded?
No, I mean so that the modules are unpacked and pulled out into the addons folder.
And I didn't mean to sound like I was disagreeing, just saying that the comparison should be made with Prat unpacked, as that is how it is intended to run for best performance.
Pretty nice, I have a feature request though, could you have a option for "scroll to bottom" button appear when you are scrolled back and the buttons are disabled? Having scrolled far into the past its handy to jump back to the present.
Only a few suggestions or wishes:
- show a scroll down button while scrolled up
- disable/enable tabs to flash when new messages are recieved
- colored player names by class (all languages ... need deDE ^^)
- list players in channel on join (on starting WoW) or maybe a button
- timestamps in the same color channel have

Unpacked has no influence on its performance CPU wise whatsoever. RegisterAllEvents() does amongst things.
That's not with Prat unpacked though for optimal performance.
Uh. The only Ace2 mod I ran was Prat, and the only Ace3 mod I ran was Chatterbox. Modules disembedded vs not doesn't matter in this case. I ran them both fully embedded specifically so that performance problems could not be masked in disembedded libraries or modules.
I wrote Chatterbox after discovering that a) Prat was accounting for over half of Ace2's reported CPU time, and b) it had code that made it appear less bitey when profiling was turned on.
Please either resize the interface options window when you stuff is shown, reorganize your layout so that stuff fits, or drop putting everything in interface options entirely. Having it broken by default really is not the best solution. Might I suggest replacing the space sucking list with a dropdown + tabs?
@Tuller Try BetterBlizzOptions to resize bliz windows and make em look better :) worked for me
@Antiarc Just came across Chatterbox and liking it alot over Prat even though i miss a few little thing i can get used to it hehe. think its defiantly gonna replace Prat as trying to get memory down and maintain similar functionality
Is there an option to show chatter lvl in Chatterbox somewhere?
thanks tatia but i tihnk you got me confused with someone :) I dotn have any sizeing issues at the moment (or maybe i just said something wrong and it gave you the wrong impression). sorry for the confusion

Would be nice if we could shorten channel names to nothing. I have guildchat i a seperate window adn have no need to [guild] or [G] infront of any messages there.
I have renamed Chatterbox to Chatter due to a naming conflict with another mod. Please update accordingly.
Due to the name change, your saved vars won't carry over. If you want them to:
1) Quit WoW
2) Rename your Chatterbox.lua saved vars file to Chatter.lua
3) In the Chatter.lua file, change ChatterboxDB to ChatterDB
4) Uninstall Chatterbox and install Chatter
5) Start WoW and be happy
* The option screen is very handy and well laid out, making it easy to configure.
* The default options are sensible (big plus for me)
* Class colouring is not working (english client), but i see this has been noted. However, i also noticed (while going from Chatterbox->Chatter) that it saves the class of various characters by name in the saved variables. I urge you to take a look at the code of Teknicolor. It performs the desired functionality very well with 3KiB of code and no saved variables. I'd hate to have every players name and class stored in my saved variables just to be able to show their class instantly.
* When i right-click one of the tabs i get the classic Blizzard drop down menu, and the last item is the Settings for filters (which is of course also Blizzard stuff). Is it possible to add a shortcut to the Chatter Settings to this menu as well. That would make it really easy to configure everything that is chatbox related without remembering any slash-commands. I think that context based navigation is always the best, especially when you have a lot of addons all with their own idea of how to configure them (and thumbs up for going the standardized way with Chatter!).

It would be nearly perfect then ;-)
Thank You!

That's concrete testing, which is what I wanted to see when claims are made.
I'll check out Chatterbox, but I might have to find some substitute for some stuff that I need and isn't in the mod.

Also, the playernamecolor has never worked for me, neither the altlinking. No errors, just doesn't do anything at all.
