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.
So I had to Reset my entire WoW UI, which leaves me reinstalling every single addon I had. When I got Prat back, I seem to have lost the ability to use the "xylo" sound file in-game. The file is in the "sounds" folder when I explore the Prat folders in the Interface directory, but when I log in to the game and open Prat config, xylo isn't a choice for the drop-downs in the chat sounds config area. Any thoughts?
I dont know why but eveytime I install teh newest file r899, curse says it has an upate ready r899-nolib , can i gte some clairification?
I'm having some problems with irregular chat, and Ithink it has to do with Prat.
Are those item links that are being handled wrong?

the Large amount of ??????? in your chat is usually due to people posting in asian characters, i get this alot as there are a few asian guild on my server.
Can I change so level & color is shown in all windows? (Got one for general, trade, guild)
I use a mac and I can't seem to uninstall the program completely. Some text setting persist after uninstalling it through curse.

For those looking for an update, the Latest alpha build, while it is an alpha release, may be downloaded from http://www.wowace.com/addons/prat-3-0/files/ at time of this posting, it is r899. R898 was broken please do not download that version. This does fix the instance, and class color names issues. Please be advised this is an alpha release, not all code is final.
Would it be possible to get an option to change the chat frame strata much like you can with the edit box? Maybe theres already one that I'm missing but I've been trying to find how to do it without having to run a script every time i login.
All system messages repeat every time. For instance, if I go AFK. It posts "You are now Away: AFK" twice in the same instant...did I mess up a setting somewhere?
im not sure why but i have searched curseforge, wowinterface and even wowace and not been able to find the update for the new 'instance' channel. do you have a link? was it taken down? i have the most upto date according to curse client so....
Thanks for the instance channel updates. (on curseforge for those that are looking)
http://www.wowace.com/addons/prat-3-0/files/ R898 was broke, make sure you skip to 899, it is most current and functioning at time of posting.
Also hoping for this. We don't get the class-colored names with the new instance chat. Thanks!
If let prat control new instance chat will be nice. thx always
Hello, I just got an error from prat, seems to be when I'm trying to change talents. Not sure if it's actually prat that is the problem but maybe you can help, here is the Lua error:

I have the latest version installed.

Response to your smart group removal: I have reverted that change manually and things still work. Is there any chance that you will work on putting smart group back in, or am I just going to have to keep my own copy of ChannelSticky.lua?
You guys ever going to update to support instance chat? Also, the mod has never supported 'channel10' in ChannelNames, why is that?
how can i remove the time on chat ?
I have a wierd issue where all mt chat scoll buttons are appearing on the right side of chat windows regardless of where those windows are oriented on the screen.
