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.
Do you have a demon hunter, warlock, or some other character in your guild named It?
In reply to Einzbern:
Figured this may be a good place to ask does anyone know how to copy all chat settings from character to character?

Is this a bug or do I need to deactivate something in the settings?
PD: this is the chat editbox when I'm NOT using it btw.
wrong add-on page sorry
I'm experiencing an error on opening the Chat Formatting tab in options, should I post it here?
As others have said, my "Join General Chat" and "Join Trade Chat" boxes keep getting unchecked. Also, whenever I right click someone's name to whisper or /r to reply to a whisper, the person's name doesn't pop up in my typing box right away. Instead, it does open my typing but it's whatever the most recent channel/whisper/whatever I was currently doing rather than whisper the person I wanted to do. I have to try to whisper to them twice to make it work.

Not sure if this is a bug with the addon, but every time I enter a new zone, regardless of what it is, even a major city, I have to open the chat window and check "Join General" and "Join Trade" to be able to see the text. Every time I get taken out of those chats when I enter a new zone and it's really annoying.
Is there a way to make it such that the entire chat is window is hidden in combat with Prat?
Having an issue where foreign / symbol names aren't displaying at all just gaps in their names?
Hi, recently I got error with this addon and I couldn't find a solution to it:

I keep getting my chat channels turned off. You know where you click on the tab, hit settings, and then click on the channels tab how it has checkmarks? Those keep getting unchecked. It's random. And Prat is the only addon I have that interacts with the chat panel. Is there some setting I'm missing that is causing this?
