Prat 3.0

Table of Contents

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.

Thanks for all of the hard work!

I am noticing one very minor issue. I keep the combat log detached from other windows. Up until the pre-patch, I've had no trouble moving it wherever I want. Now however, I'm noticing that I can not move it all the way to the bottom of the screen - it can only be moved to about a half inch from the bottom of the screen and no further. All of my other chat windows do not have this problem.

Is there some setting that I may be able to tweak in order to be able to move that particular chat window that last half inch to the bottom of the screen?

Thank you in advance.

Every time i type the word "it" in the text box, or even it comes up in flavor text, "it" becomes highlighted purple. Why is this happening? Other than that, i love this mod.

Do you have a demon hunter, warlock, or some other character in your guild named It?

In Prat you can use profiles or a default one that applies to all characters. If that doesn't cover what your asking, might be better to ask over on the wow forums in the Macro/UI forum.

Doesn't seem to copy additional chat windows and what not just was curious if there was a way to get all the settings copied.

Is this a bug or do I need to deactivate something in the settings?

PD: this is the chat editbox when I'm NOT using it btw.

As others have said, my "Join General Chat" and "Join Trade Chat" boxes keep getting unchecked. Also, whenever I right click someone's name to whisper or /r to reply to a whisper, the person's name doesn't pop up in my typing box right away. Instead, it does open my typing but it's whatever the most recent channel/whisper/whatever I was currently doing rather than whisper the person I wanted to do. I have to try to whisper to them twice to make it work.

WRT the general chat/trade chat issue: try disabling the ChannelNames module. I was having a similar issue and I discovered that turning this off fixed the problem.

I don't use Greenwall, unless it is a part of another addon and I'm unaware.

There was a server side hotfix on 8/7/18 that corrected an issue of being kicked out of general and trade chat, so I guess that issue is resolved.
