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.
Anyone else have the issue that the Social Button (O) is too far upwards? Don't know if that's a blizzard thing or Prat issue but since Prat can hide the button, it should be possible to realign the button, right? Right now it collides with my raid frames, that's kinda annoying.
Edit: some picture for comparison

Edit2: so it seems that it's a blizzard thing. they changed the position fo the button. so it would be a feature request for prat then. It would be very nice if you would implement an option to let me re-position the button. or we just wait for blizzard to fix it.
is anyone else not able to see guild trade chat whispers in cataclysm classic? I deleted all settings, reinstalled multiple times but cannot see chat.
What setting do I enable for guild officer chat to show in the CopyChat box?
I don't know if it's my game or anyone else's but i can only see chats in general tab and not my 3 created tabs like guild chat/raid chat/party chat or whispers. Don't know if the new update caused the bug or what. Cata.
In reply to Dionysus2222: Cata Classic by the way.
Hello. Looks like Prat doesn't currently support the new icon next to player names in guild chat for MoP Re-mix Timerunning characters.
Please see this screenshot as comparison:

In reply to TheCheat54: Fixed in the latest alpha (available shortly)
Can't see Scroll Down Reminder button at all. WoW SoD
In reply to GregoryWW: That should have been fixed already. Can you confirm its still broken in 3.9.52
Do you know how to remove the Minimize buttons? They still appear after the update. Thx.
In reply to p1tu: Fixed in the latest alpha (available shortly)
will you fix the button to move the chat to the bottom?
it's blocked by the gradual scroll down button.
Cata classic
In reply to ffreestyler: Fixed in the latest alpha, and 3.9.52 (both available shortly)
On cata classic, jump to the bottom of the chat button stopped working. It now instead scrolls down slowly.
In reply to prokn4h: Fixed in the latest alpha, and 3.9.52 (both available shortly)
In reply to plusmouse: Thanks, appreciate it.
How do I add my fonts to the addon? I pasted them to Prat-3.0\fonts folder, but they don't show up.
In reply to aphynn: See https://github.com/Legacy-of-Sylvanaar/prat-3-0/pull/160#issuecomment-1826812006
Had to disable Prat in Classic and Classic SOD b/c of errors. I note there are no new Classic versions Do you plan to update for Classic? Thanks in advance.
In reply to marblexavier: What errors are you seeing?
