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.

No I don't have a hunter or know of one with that name.
Okay I have no idea when it comes to coding, if you're talking about the <BNET REMOVED> stuff, there, that showed up in the copy window but it wasn't in the main chat window, each of them had different strings of letters and numbers.
Anyways thanks for looking into this, appreciate the work you're doing to keep this thing going.

Posted Jun 1, 2020Thanks to all of you for being so supportive during the 3.8 release. It was a major change to try and solve so many places where the game would block your actions - joining battleground, setting guild notes, and other activities.
Please let me know if these things are working for you now!

Posted May 31, 2020Hello! There is two old addons: GreedBeacon and SpamageMeters, they not maintained but still working (had to fix pattern in GreedBeacon though). May be it make sense to include them into Prat as extra modules to keep them maintained and updated? Both related to chat and very useful. GB is godsend in ZG with all that coin/bijou roll spam and SM useful always to reduce spam from e-peening :)

Hi. The addons look cool. I think they are too specific to be part of a general purpose chat addon. They should be their own thing. Maybe there is an addon that specializes in spam killing that they can be part of?

If you didn't read initial message the question was not which spam addon to use or who works better, but which addon could incorporate functionality of 2 other addons. Obviously that unmaintained addon could not incorporate anything no matter how good its are.

As I explained in the description - I am trying to fix issues with the communities tab where you are prevented from performing certain actions. The fading issue is fixed I believe. Relax - it is just a small bump on the road for what is a pretty big change to Prat.

Posted May 30, 2020Installed 3.8.0 and my chat windows are going blank intermittently. Switching between tabs resolves it but it's still a bit frustrating.
