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)

- 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.
Try disabling old addons like craftlist2 and other addons that modify your chat (dont bug me) and you can most likely see text again. Its not prat3.0 that is at fault here
Installed, /prat is "unknown" command etc
Hi, i love this addon (else i wouldn't Post here^^)
But two questions:
1. Is the Altnames Module already fully implemented again? Right now i can't tweak it that way, that the alts are shown.
2. Is there a way to get the typing window to the top of the chat window instead of the bottom? I can't find the option to do that.
Edit: Found the answer to my second Question in the Forums...
I also noticed that text font size is not saved anymore when this mod is enabled, and I have to reset the desired size every time I log in.
I have been removing out of date addons and that problem seems to have gone.
Only Russian and US versions will work.
German is outcommented.
--------
In den Dateien wurde Deutsch auskommentiert, d.h. der code ist nicht aktiv. Nur Russisch und US gehn !
Wenn ihr das fixen wollt, besorgt euch ein Programm womit ihr Dateien durchsuchen und Text ersetzen könnt - ersetzt erst deDE mit aaAA und danach im zweiten Druchgang enUS mit deDE.
Danach geht alles !
Die deutsche Übersetzung scheint nur nicht fertig zu sein.
Ich werd mich nochmal ransetzen und probieren ob das Funktioniert einfach die Deutschen übersetzungen aus den Kommentaren zu nehmen.
Great Addon after Prat2 isn't anymore. However there are two things I greatly miss. Would there be any chance to make the text box appear above the chat frame and is there any chance to implement some kind of "Doskey" functionality. By that I mean if you press the cursor buttons that something else happens instead of moving. In Prat2 when you pressed the cursor up you could see what you wrote last and cursor left and right you were able to place your cursor within your written text. Hope you understand what I wanted to say and sorry for my poor english :)
Thank you very much in advance.
i cant see text @ the chatbox...
