Prat 3.0
In loving memory of Jon Akthar (Sylvanaar)
Hello WoW community, I'm LuciferCatnip, Sylvanaar was my coworker and my mentor. It goes without saying that Jon was an amazingly talented individual. He always seemed to know everything... but he once said to me "It's not about knowing the answers, it's about asking the right questions", he always challenged me to ask me the right questions until I would arrive at the answer on my own terms. Jon was also a champion of the open source movement, and so with special thanks to Gil from Curseforge as well as Sylvanaar's family, there's no better way to honor Sylvanaar's legacy than to keep his project going strong in the community.
If you'd like to help maintain Prat, please reach out to MysticalOS or LuciferCatnip directly. Thank you so much.
About
Prat-3.0 is a chat enhancement addon for World of Warcraft.
It is made up of 30+ smaller "modules" which each provide additional functionality, and can be enabled or disabled individually.
In game, type /prat for a menu. Or use the icon on one of the many data broker hosts.
Prat has just about every feature you can think of, and then some. Really. When I get some more time, I'll try and put together a full list (Even I have lost count)
(Thanks to Dreamsight for this partial list)
- Sync your chat settings across your account (Beta)
- AI powered spam filter (Beta)
- Change arrows, buttons, mouse scroll for chat scroll, scroll speed
- you can add player color per channel, color per level, color per class
- timestamps (styled)
- whether to show timestamp (what format the timestamp should be in)
- whether to show players level
- you can select the option for channel "stickys" (last channel you used you auto use when hitting enter, that sort of thing – or last thing someone said)
- change the looks of the chat's editbox - as well as where it appears (you can even undock it and move it to where you'd like it to be)
- chat fading, fading delay
- You can change the font to a list of fonts, add an outline to it, monochrome it (if you don’t mind messing with files a bit you could probably even add other fonts to that list)
- change the chat frame/chat box appearance
- Keep chat history between game sessions
- Set channel abbreviations
- set brackets and color(or something instead of brackets)round player/lvl
- alt invite option (press keyboard “alt” button and click on the player’s name to auto inv them)
- raid icon
- invite links - click them to invite the person
- URL copying
- Full chat copying + copy button
- Click timestamp to copy line
- Configurable alerts when your name or other word is mentioned
- enables tell target /tt which whispers your target
- Alias options - make macros into short commands
- See names of players Alt characters
- change chat sounds (incoming and outgoing as well as per channel)
- Achievements info and grats
- Full chat search and search box
- Customizable filters for advanced users
- Show item icon next to item links and player class icon next to player names
- Icon-only options for newcomers chat
- Optional flashing or font color change for chat tabs when a new message comes in.
You can enable/disable all Prat modules - don't have to have the ones you don't use running
While trying to reduce resource utilization, it is also important to note that some people prefer the features, and don't care that an addon uses 500k more.

Posted Jul 21, 2018I have a minor annoyance: In a custom chat channel I'm in there is no : whenever someone sends a message. For example "[3. channel] [Charname]test message" instead of "[3. channel] [Charname]:test message".

It's definitely prat, or (for some reason) some combo of mods I have. Disabling Prat completely has it how I want.
One solution I've found is to replace the channel name. Chat Formatting>Channel names>(the channel I want), check replace, and name it what it should have been. Such as [3. testchannel].
As I said it's only a very minor annoyance since it's simple fix/workaround and I only have one custom channel.

Posted Jul 20, 2018Whenever somebody leaves or joins a chat channel, instead of the usual "[Channel][Player] left/joined channel" message, instead I get messages that are simply "[Channel][Player]" and nothing after that.
I've narrowed it down to the ChannelName module but disabling that somehow renames the Guild chat channel from [Guild] to "|HChannelGuild". Disabling the entire addon fixes both issues but leaves me without the chatbox customizability that I love.

Posted Jul 20, 2018I see the option to turn off the social button, but that also turns off the toasts and notices of when someone joins a party or raid. Would it be possible to remove the social button by the chat window but still allow the notices to show up?

Posted Jul 20, 2018Chat channel appearances seem to be weird after the latest addon updates for 8.0.1. The colon and space between the right square bracket and the user's first chat word is missing:

Posted Jul 20, 2018Hey, app works great. Would just love to see a way to remove the button for "Chat Channels" that is now constantly visible at the left side of the window.
Thank you! Been using Prat for a long time, love it!
