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.
Version: 3.3.19
Zone: US
Issue: when trying to send a tell, I type /t and then the first letter of the person's name. This gives me a drop-down box with the names of everyone who is on-line in my guild or on my friends list who has a name that starts with that letter. Pressing "tab" to select one of those names from the dropdown does not work. Instead, it starts cycling through the names of all friends or guildies who have a name starting with that letter whether they are online or not.
The second is that in order to get the features out and fix larger issues not as much time can be spent on testing. Also, since I have very few alpha testers, I have been forced to decide to either not release or release.
I should stress, when you report an problem please do indicate what version you use, and what region US or EU you are in.
There are also some issues that are in libraries that I don't have control over.
So in a nutshell - just be patient, and if you want to pitch in and help test - that'd be great.
Can you - or someone else post the latest version for 3.3.0
Thanks :-)

I guess I have to go back to bugged Chatter again :/
These mods are made by people who are not always doing it for personal gain and just as a hobby, they do not need to be fixing your addons. So please, stop the crying. When an update is stable you will know.
P.S. The authors of the project want to express my respect for what they are doing. Guys, no offense.
Morons like you are the reason people stop developing free software. A few $1 donations here and there aren't even a drop in the bucket when it comes to how much coding and testing has to be done for an addon of this magnitude.
Also, since babies like you are crying about it getting fixed...I WONDER what is faster. Releasing versions to thousands of people and politely asking for feedback so he can fix it for you sooner, or the developer trying to figure out every single bug on his own.
Pro Tip: Having us explain the bugs then the dev fixing them is faster.
now it wont let me type prat commands into the editbox or show any display settings. I'm off to find a new chat addon while this is fixed :/

To access config, hit ESC, go to Interface -> Addons -> clik [+] at Prat and click subitems until it stops dropping errors. Then disable (dont load) ChannelSticky module. Worked for me at least.
