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.
is this addon DEAD?
Whatever chat font formatting you pick is ignored by any text or name that has a special character in it. IE: it reverts to whatever the default font/size/styling is for that line of text. Typically its just when a persons name has a special character ' in it or something like that.
In reply to Zewks:
I have noticed this with Chinese players - I am not totally sure what the problem is. It isn't just special characters because I use the font DorisPP and I don't really have any issue.
What font do you use?
With a Custom Filter for .* the % symbol gets removed for some reason. Removing the filter and I can see the % again in whichever channel Im filtering. Any fix?
In reply to JSwift:
I am planning to do a revamp of custom filter when I get the time. I'll keep this in mind.
Hello!
This bug becomes really annoying as a guild officer. Error pops up 90% of times asking me to disable addon, when I try to edit someone's guild note or promote/demote someone.

In reply to Natlyz:
I get the same darn issue 90% of the time as well and I have to disable the addon to do literally anything involving guild notes or promoting/demoting someone. As a Guild Master, it's honestly frustrating.
In reply to Natlyz:
Hey that's pretty annoying. It looks like a library issue though, and that Prat is just providing you the library. I will do a build to see if the library has been updated.
In reply to sylvanaar:
Were you able to see if the library regarding guild notes and promoting/demoting someone in a guild has been fixed?
In reply to Natlyz:
i can confirm this issue affects me as well when I attempt to set my OWN guild note. i am not an officer
How do I have two separate chat windows open at the same time (not tabs, but windows). Thanks.
Is there a way to hide the grey text "you have blocked chat channel invites."?
Cause when i play Classic theres alot of spam from chat channel invites.
In reply to th3_ki113r:
Right click chat - Settings - General tab - Others - untoggle "Channel".
Well it's a nice add on but having to resize the chat EVERY TIME i log into wow is a no go for me.
In reply to Furydeath9:
Kinda strange. I don't have this issue. There is a feature in the *frames* module for remembering the positions of the chatframes, is it on for you?

When the module PlayerNames is loaded, items that are epic post with the color code before them. In this case the color code is cffa335ee. All epic items linked in trade have no color and look like this.....
|cffa335ee[Belt of Might]
It took me a LONG time but turning off PlayerNames module fixes the problem. Sad because that is one of my favorite things about Prat, knowing what class someone is instantly.
In reply to n0twen:
Thank you! Saved myself the trouble of finding out what has been causing this issue. Been annoying me for quite a while and didn't find any info till now ;)
Edit:
If you want to fix it, find the file Prat-3.0\modules\PlayerNameGlobalPatterns.lua and change the line
to
In reply to Forge_User_17417017:
Thanks - I was wary of making this change, and knew it would break something, but doing it the old way was breaking things for other people too, and I guess they were louder.
It is reverted for now
