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.
For a long time using Prat 3.0 whenever an icon of sometime is posted in Chat. Raid Icons, Blizzard GM Icons or the New Real ID Broadcast bubble. It distorts the line it's posted on.
Is there a way around this?
Recently switched PCs (also Vista to 7 btw) and while resetting my addons I found that I receive an error with Omen when trying to change the background texture from that god awful, wood looking default setting to anything else.
Clicked on the drop down arrow and BAM... error. The window does drop but is empty.
Anywho... through the old 'on/off addon' method (41 addons btw) I traced it back to the latest version of Prat =(

The fact is this addon is currently incompatible with a multitude of others, pointed out by myself as well as many other loyal Prat users and not only is there no concern, there isn't even the slightest hint of quandary.
Later Prat.. was good while you lasted
Anyone else having this problem?
Btw... Thx for the work on this addon, it is one of those I can not live without.
Interface\AddOns\Prat-3.0\modules\ChatFrames.lua:354: attempt to call method 'ConfigureAllChatFrames' (a nil value)
or
Interface\AddOns\Prat-3.0\modules\Font.lua:448: attempt to index global 'AceGUIWidgetLSMlists' (a nil value)
try updating some of your libraries to Alpha. here's the embedded libs versions i've found that Prat uses:
Ace3 r958 (Alpha)
AceGUI-3.0-SharedMediaWidgets r23 (Latest is r28 Alpha)
libalts r23 (alpha)
Babble-Class-3.0 r56 (Alpha)
Libsink r71 (Alpha)
Libdbicon r13 (Alpha)
I updated all of those until SharedMediaWidgets before my issues were fixed, however I tried downgrading back to 3.3.1 sharedmediawidgets and couldn't reproduce the problem. Odd... but either way, maybe this will help someone else if they encounter similar issues like I did.
It was the same, like when you are switching between those you have whispered to, just here, you could switch between what you had written earlier.
Please help if you have any solutions.
Thanks.
When I log into wow and someone tries to whisper me I cant see their whisper. They have to whisper me twice for me to be able to see their whisper and only one of the whispers appears in the chat box.
And leave the replies to the creator of the addon.
