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.
Hello, I looked through the settings for this, maybe it doesn't exist, but it should :P
I got a guildie whom name is "This" he is a DK, and everytime I type in part/guild/chat whatever the word this, it shows in red color, even though I love classcolored names, which is very nice, but it would be handy if there's a blacklist for some common words.
Now my options are, either to disable class color which I don't want, or gkick that DK with the name "This" lol, which is not nice.
So what's my solution? thanks.
In reply to pawnzee:
There is a blacklist feature for this kind of problem.
Use this slash command:
/pratblacklist <word>
whatever word you put there wont get colored
Is there a way to remove the need to hold Alt when clicking to invite people?
Class color won't be applied to Server text color.

I can't whisper or invite a player if they are from different server. It says can not find the player.
I get an error when trying to promote a user to raid tank, assistant, or Raid leader. Seems to only happen during raids.
Is there a workaround to prevent the Popup modul triggering if you are just rolling for an item ?
Can not accept a battleground pop up
Get en arror that prat is interferring and a choice to ignore or to disable the addon
have to reloadui every time just to enter a bg
In reply to wiesshund:
The best workaround currently is to right click the PvP queue minimap icon and select Enter Battleground
In reply to KamakazeChickn:
why after so many months after BG release this is still an issue?
In reply to wiesshund:
Got same problem here, cannot enter a BG without Blizzard UI restriction rules about this addon

Can you please fix setting notes for players in guild being impossible to do without wow telling me to disable Prat? Thanks!
Had to uninstall this add-on for classic.. looted items in group would cause slight micro stutters.. uninstalled and the issue went away.
In reply to avarath1984:
Had the same issue, any time a group would loot it froze the game for a few seconds. Shame because I really like this addon
In reply to avarath1984:
Experiencing the same issue
How do I turn off the changes Prat makes to my loot messages?
And how do I turn off the messages I get about my party member's loot?
PLEASE help.
Also, can you add a minimize button? (So we can minimize and hide the chat window.)
Wish List- 1) a changeable border for the frame
2) compatibility with elvuis chat frame
3) emote support! :)
4) builtin spellcheck -BIG ask i know.
Sometimes when trying to /target an NPC I will get the following error:
