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.

Posted Oct 11, 2018Having this error since Pre-Patch on only this character, all other characters are fine, and have tried several things to try and fix it, including uninstalling the game and reinstalling it, same with the addon. Only happens with rare/blue items, and only way to fix it is turning Prat off.
Posted said issue also on http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info10783-Prat3.0.html#comments

Posted Oct 10, 2018A button or slash command to minimize/hide the chat windows would be great. Sometimes chats get too toxic or distracting and I'd rather just hide the windows completely.

Posted Oct 4, 2018This fix is for everyone who has issues with the Editbox (not showing up where it should be).
Get the Addon "Advanced Interface Options" and use the CVar Browser, search for "chatstyle", double click and change the value from "im" (default value) to "classic". Now the Editbox shouldn't be at the bottom regardless of your settings.

Posted Sep 28, 2018So I try to press either r or enter to respond to a new tell and nothing happens.
Didn't Prat use to have that function or am I remembering wrong? Or am I missing something, been looking over the options and can not find any options regarding reply to a new chat.

Posted Sep 28, 2018Recently when someone whispers me and I click on their name to respond, or I right click whisper someone from my battle net list, the chat doesn't pick up the right "channel". For example when I click someone's name in the chat, it goes into "Say" mode instead of "Whisper". Tried without the addon and it doesn't happen.

Posted Sep 27, 2018Eventually, Prat starts causing lag when I get guildchat messages. Is there something I can disable or settings I can turn down to stop this?
