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 Arxon_Havenloft:
I have the same issue (and also classiccastbars apperantly), but my workaround is to do a /reload and then accept the invite (might need to be quick about it, I don't know).
In reply to Arxon_Havenloft:
Same, but just /reload before accepting AV queue for the time being.
Still getting this every single time I log in:

for a few weeks now i have been having an issue where i can no longer show class colors with any bnet friends whispers in game of wow they either show as grey or standard bnet color if i use a earlier version.
In reply to Pork80:
same here kinda annoying to cus they are always grey and that to me indicates that they are offline when they are not x,)
The hilight module seems to search from both ends of a string to hilight a guild name. This can cause odd hilighting issues in messages like: "<Our Guild> is hosting a raid! MS > OS". In that case, "Our Guild> is hosting a raid! MS" would all be green in color as if it's the guild name. Or, if there are two guild names in the string. "<Our Guild> and <Their Guild> are hosting an event!". In this case, "Our Guild> and <Their Guild" would all be bright green.
Any way to make this search sequentially through the string?
Hi everyone. As many of you know I have been developing this addon for over a decade and sometime real life issues come up.
I am not going anywhere. I will of course get to addressing the issues some of you may be having.
Happy Holidays!
In reply to sylvanaar:
Thanks for all you do! Happy holidays!!
In reply to sylvanaar:
Happy anniversary :)
Glad you are still with us because we are still with you :P
In reply to sylvanaar:
Thank you for updating this addon. I'm no longer getting an error message the 1st time somebody whispers me via b.net / realID. One thing I have noticed however is that the class colouring for whispers through realID / b.net are not working, They appear in grey, as if the person I am talking to is offline or not in game. Normal whispers/gchat etc continue to work correctly, showing the correct colour for their class. It is just b.net/RealID whispers that don't appear to be working correctly.
In reply to Zorcan2112:
Having very same issue class colors show in guidl chat and party raid frames but not in bnet whisper frames
In reply to sylvanaar:
ok, then we hope that everything goes well in the iRL, thanks for the information!
In reply to sylvanaar:
Love your addon! :)
Prat seems to have been abandoned. The author hasn't been on Curse for almost 2 months at this point. :(
Edit: Well I'm glad to be proven wrong. Author is still here :)
Im getting this since today:

Same!
How can I black list a player name? A guy called "Zone"... so everytime I write "zone" it will be colored...
is this addon DEAD?
Whatever chat font formatting you pick is ignored by any text or name that has a special character in it. IE: it reverts to whatever the default font/size/styling is for that line of text. Typically its just when a persons name has a special character ' in it or something like that.
In reply to Zewks:
I have noticed this with Chinese players - I am not totally sure what the problem is. It isn't just special characters because I use the font DorisPP and I don't really have any issue.
What font do you use?
