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.
Every time I sent a message I get this. I also use WiM so I'm not sure which addon is actually at fault here.
getting duplicate chat in bright white , it is a partial copy of previous chat but in bright white
For some reason the last few words people post in chat get repeated in bright white type now?
In reply to kird:
for me updated AskMrRobot create this bug
In reply to freidv20:
I can confirm this. AskMrRobot is the problem.
In reply to Forge_User_91176510:
I have had V83 since 1/26/20 and had no issues with chat til now , so how did you confirm its askmrRobot ?
In reply to Slypknott:
The problem occured with the update of AskMrRobot and when I deactivate the addon the white messages are gone. Simple.
Deactivate it and see by yourself.
the editbox border doesn't go away when i mark "none" in all the options and take the fading completely off!
Is it bugged????
I use Prat in both Retail and Classic and I love the addon and all it adds to the chat window experience.
In Classic there is a repeatable bug that is quite annoying. I'm the raid leader of our 40 man team and every week when I try to promote someone to Main Tank within the raid it tells me that Prat is blocking this action and needs to be disabled to continue so I have to reload my UI with Prat Disabled in order to promote our tanks. It doesn't do it 100% of the time, but I end up having to disable Prat before I get all our tanks promoted each week.
In reply to dansker75:
Everyone I know has this same issue, Prat is popping up in multiple cases that it's blocking the action you want to do and you have to disable it. Promoting Maintanks is one of them. Any solution?

For Classic, is it possible to hide certain windows when entering an instance or party? I know I used to have something that did that back in retail.. and I did use Prat. However, I cannot find a setting for it.
I have some serious problems with this addon when I tried Retail.
Everytime I open chat it adds that key to the chat if its not F1-F12
Exempel; Open chat with " Y " they in say it adds y automatically.. Every key it does that if not using like F12 button.. ANy idea what I can do?
Classic one works just fine.. This is giving a headache now
i removed this addon , error when trying to enter bg
