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.

Thanks for your hard work on this mod.
One big issue that I am running across is the Arrows on the Combat Log seem to always appear on the Right side of the chat window rather than the left. I can eventually get them to the left but they don't stay there upon a restart.
Again thanks"
I too have to reset my arrow position everytime I log on. Everything else saves though.
If I change to other character , I can't use the "Save Command History" that I typed.
I find that the "Save Command History" didn't save in " WTF-PRAT-3.0.LUA " file.
Is there a targettell feature in prat3 currently? I'm trying with the good old /tt <message> but it says no such command.
Cheers...
altnames was updated today, see if it helped.
Best chat mod ever, but I still wonder how the altnames are supposed to work ... I can't get them to show up after importing. Is this sub-mod working at all?
I use the altnames addon to see folks' mains and/or alts in tooltips. However, Prat just started adding mains' names to every single line of chat in every single window, which is waaaaay too much. I'm now getting this information presented to me many times per minute.
The "Be Quiet" option seemed like it might turn this of, but it doesn't. Short of completely disabling the altnames module, is there a way to tell Prat NOT to keep sending me this redundant information in every line of chat?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I'm looking for a way to make new line appear at the top of the chat window, pushing old ones down.
Currently the default is that new chat msgs appear at the bottom pushing old ones up.
Thanks Silver!
Now...
How do i get chat allignment to work? The paragraph module. Im trying to justify things to the right or center and it wont work o_O the chat stays left**

But still have the problem to use the same font in the editbox
that i have changed in the chatbox. Any ideas?
Thanks for help and sorry for my bad english^^
disable chatcopy module. (can't remember if that's the exact name. but the icon is definitely related to copying chat)
i still use the outdated prat 3.0 beta 4 which was modified by someone here in the comments to work with the german client.
