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 have another question: I like the chat very clean. Is it still possible to fade out the “General” “Log” etc. tabs? That would be great.
And could the input field be enlarged even further? Maybe you can see what you write in two lines.
And my last question is can we support you? I am so grateful for the addon that I would like to support you.

In reply to plusmouse: Hello, thank you, I just read your answer there! Thank you again here!
Hoping someone can help. A bit ago a slash command for prat (hoping it was Prat) was posted so that you could add words manually to the blacklist so that those words would not be highlighted in posted text, whether NPC or player conversations. I've been keeping a list of dumb names people are using and I'd really like to add them to the blacklist so words like 'look' or 'stay' don't keep showing up as purple or green in text posts. Does anyone know what this specific slash command is?
I thought it was something along the line of "/prat blacklist <word>" but it doesn't seem to to do anything other than give a '? command does does not exist' error.
Thanks.
In reply to Ookami313: Try `/pratblacklist <word>` (no space between prat and blacklist)
In reply to plusmouse:
Awesome, thank you very much.
I just wanted to say thank you! I was looking for a chat addon that adjusts this fading of the background. I was so happy to have found this with your addon. THANKS! I hope you never give up on the addon.

In reply to stormeagle2: Does this error happen during normal gameplay, or only when disconnected?
Hello Prat Team, I hope you are well!
I was looking for some assistance on how to remove the Chat Tab Borders/Background element. I'd like the text for each chat channel listed, in my case "General", "Log", "Whispers", and "Three" - but I'd like the border or background element to be removed from them so it is just text.
I've included a screenshot showing what I am referring to if it helps any. I reviewed the options but I couldn't quite find a way to accomplish this, so wanted to reach out and ask.
Thank you!
Hello, may we please have an option to keep the 'ServerNames' as class colored? Currently. you can only choose between two current options - neutral & random colors. The default UI uses the class colors for the player name, server name & the hyphen between them, and I like that a lot :)
prat is more or less working in SoD (classic Era) but I'm getting a lot of errors:

Is prat not working in SoD? None of the change channels names are working so its like 1. general - the barrens player: text here
Even in other era sever prat is now broken...sadage
In reply to Furydeath9: It should be working fine. I've tested it earlier today and it showed the channels correctly
In reply to plusmouse: hmm not sure what happen then i deleted it and reinstall and it seem to be working much better then the zone takin up half the text box
I can't figure out how to make the customfilters module work, can anyone help me?
Im trying to simply block the Edit Mode layout has changed system message, is it even possible?
In reply to zetrashman65513: Its not possible because Blizzard doesn't do the edit mode layout changed system message as a regular system message, so Prat doesn't have the ability to filter it.
I have a problem with Prat not updating actual level of some characters while it does for other.
It occurs on a HC Server and most probably after few recreated chars it kinda goes sideways - but I have NO IDEA where it might store data.
I have canibalized my wow and wow addons. Did delete EVERY addon file on drive that contains prat in name. Removed everything I could WTF (yeah all my addon settings included) cache, searched entire drive for word "prat" and deleted couple of addons on the way. Greenwall, Atlas, Gathermate, Questie, Bagnon. SO like Not a single file on a drive with a string "prat".
Logged in without the addon. Installed addon and yet again my level is showed wrong. Where the heck it stores that data?

In reply to mirt84:
It repaired itself. No idea what triggered that but it shows correctly now... Thanks.
Hi
I've started having an issue today but only on one of my characters
If I press Enter or type / the chat box fails to open, nothing happens
I've tried a reset and I've created a profile and copied from one of my working characters but nothing happens
If I disable Prat I can chat as normal
Any one got any ideas on what might be causing this ?
Thanks
