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)
- Machine learning 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.
1) Tabs - They used to have a fade out alpha of 0 and were only visible on mouseover. Now I either have to deal with the tab at a visible alpha of 0.1 or turn it off and have to re-enable the display each time I switch to the tab behind it.
2) Resize - Previous versions used the borders of the chat box themselves to re-size but now I'm stuck with the default blizzard dragger. Its annoying to have to move the box out, re-size, then re-positions and also another non-fading element stuck on my otherwise clean screen.
3) Frame - There seems to be an extra drawn frame on any chat box other than the default main. Separated by a black line it seems to be where the Blizzard buttons are.
4) Whisper Window - Three issues here. Using module 'Buttons' I cannot hide buttons, using 'Original Buttons' I can. I can only pull out whisper windows with RealID tells and not regular ones as I can with the default Blizzard chat box. The Edit Box does not migrate to the whisper window as it does when selecting other chat boxes.
5) Buttons - I'd like to be able to remove the minimize button on all frames that have them.
Thanks for reading and making this mod. I've used it for a long time and I'd appreciate any help with these issues so I can get Prat back to how it was looking before this worthless patch.
Installing the Alpha version from http://www.wowace.com/addons/prat-3-0/files/8631-r475/ didn't fix the editbox problem, it just removes the module and the possibility to enable it :s
I'm getting 19 pages lua errors when trying to set anything in options like "show arrows" or doing anything with profiles or edit box as well.
Please repair my prat! its best caht out there :(
