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.
In reply to sylvanaar:
Please for the love of god remove the achievement congrats feature. this addon has been one of my favorite for a long time and since this feature has been i have quit 4 different guilds. you have given the power to potatoes and it has been streaking anger and hatred through lots of chats. this single feature is the reason i cant join guilds. the generic spamming of the pre scripted sayings is intolerable.
please please please remove this feature. make this addon great again.

In reply to sylvanaar:
I use the addon "Details! Damage Meter" and therefore cannot use the /tt command to whisper my target. Details is apparently taking precedence over that command. :(
Could you also implement /TW or /WT to do the same thing? (Target Whisper/Whisper Target). It would be great to have that functionality usable again.

In reply to sylvanaar:
But, you may still want to look into it for other Details! users. :)
Thanks for the response. <3
Anyone know how I can disable the color when people put text in angled brackets/chevrons? I guess it's intended for guild names, but people abuse it with selling shit... Looks horrible like this: https://imgur.com/a/4BzqiZQ
I can't find the option to disable it anywhere. Help!

In reply to Ethora:
I continue to have problems with the "Frame" module, "Zero Clamp Size" option. I have detatched the combat log from the main chat window. This detatched combat log will be out of place (but always in the same place) upon /reload or a restart of the game. I can unlock it and move it, but I can't move it all the way to the edge of the screen.
However, if I open the Frame module and toggle the Zero Clamp Size option, I can move the window again (for a brief time). It will remain in the fixed position (where it should be!) until a /reload or re-log.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: With both Arkinventory and Accountant Classic I'm seeing the same/similar error. It only appears to occur after I have attempted to use the "Zero Clamp Size" option and move my combat chat window, as discussed:
4x ...\ArkInventory\Externals\Ace3\AceHook\AceHook-3.0-8.lua:180: Attempting to rehook already active hook SetChatWindowSavedPosition.
I'm getting lua errors tied to the ChannelNames. If I go into Prat's options, in the Chat Formatting tab, ChannelNames, tab ChannelNames, it's blank - no text etc at all. When I navigate to this tab the lua error appears:
Message: Interface\AddOns\Prat-3.0-r1176 \modules\ChannelNames.lua:952: bad argument #1 to 'strsub' (string expected, got nil)

and when I scroll through a chat window I get the lua error:
Message: Interface\FrameXML\FloatingChatFrame.lua:1115: bad argument #1 to 'max' (number expected, got nil)

I assume the two are connected?
