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.

Nice to see this addon still being worked on.
Any update for the timestamp issue?

Still need to disable Prat in order to begin a pet battle. Otherwise you can't see your buttons
Hello, as per other posts below, when Prat is enabled, after logging in for the first time, pet battles have no buttons at all.
If I turn Prat off and reload while in the battle, it works.
Afterwards, while still in the pet battle, If I turn Prat back on and reload, it also works until I log off and back on.

I don't seem to be generating any LUAs but with the recent update while using WIM it seems to have broken the ability to receive IMs from none Btag/RealID friends. Can anyone else confirm/deny?
Edit: I Should mention I have to load 3.7.3 in order to get both Prat and WIM to function at the same time.
Hello again.
I get this LUA error when I am in the Prat configs in the interface screen. It happens when I click on chat formatting.

Hi there, is there a way to make the entire chat box darker constantly? Other then the option to make it darker when you mouse over it?
Thanks for the great addon!
In reply to jpsgaming:
Thanks for the update, could we have an option to remove the "Chat Channels" button as well please?

In reply to sylvanaar:
Seems like the "Show Arrows" option no longer works as it used to. I've always had it toggled off, and since the patch, arrows and a scroll bar have been included in chat window. Toggling that option on adds a thick bar to the right, but nothing appears in it... the arrows and scroll bar stay to the left of it in the main window. Hopefully this option can be tweaked to once again work to remove the arrows/scroll bar and bring the chat window width back to what it was pre-patch.
Thanks for all your work on this.
I am starting to think that Prat is disabling Trade/Local defense and general chat channels after each fresh log in.
Ive been noticing this for a while now and so I tested it and made sure they were all on in the chat channel settings. Closed client and logged back in. They were turned off.
So then disabled Prat and tried and they have stayed on after each fresh client start.
Not sure what else to post those are my findings. Hope that made sense :)
