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)
- Machine learning 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.
i downloaded prat again via curse client and then also via this homepage, and i disabled all addons but prat and got the following error everytime i try to right click -> copy chat:

Here's a screenshot of what I said:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v496/endou_kenji/WoWScrnShot_010709_235808.jpg
Any ideas or fixes? It's driving me nuts, since sometimes it hides the LFG channel and I can't turn it back on...
It will show no messages from LFG, then if I leave and rejoin the channel it works, but it gives this error message:

I've spotted it doesn't work for me anymore, despite I got the module enabled and cofigured, it doesn't show the popup neither with my name, nor with the words i set.
Any idea how do I fix it?

This mod basically does cosmetic things to make chat more colorful and interesting for the gab crowd.
I use prat for timestamps, easy copy-paste, urls, alt tracking, no more chat arrows, chatbox on top, colored names and my most vital use, popups on nicknames.
Next time you're looking for mods, figure out what you want them to do then go over to the WoW mods and UI forums and ask people what mods are out that can do what you're looking for. Don't go out and download everything listed as popular and then come back flaming mod authors {"what this mod does that's actually useful", "no way to really do anything usful for ... chatting", "Maybe I'm used to using IM and IRC apps that don't suck", " This addon is incomprehensible"} that provide great mods just because you don't know what they do.
SpamMeNot is the addon that is causing your problems.
If you just use that addon to block gold selling spam, try using SpamSentry instead.
I like Prat because it lets me adjust the height and width of the frames (you have to unlock them via the right click menu, then move the bottom right corner of the chat frame to resize; the "min" and "max" width/heights are just that - mins and maxs), class colored names for all channels, channel name abbreviations (I use Tr for Trade, LFG for LookingForGroup, etc), easy url copying (I didn't think I would ever use this one, but I was wrong), lets you have more than 100 lines of memory per chat frame.
This is what I would suggest to you: if all you want is the ability to make other chat windows with things like Trade, Guild, etc, don't use Prat. You can do that in the default Blizzard UI. Just right click the "General" tab and select "Create new window" then go to the settings for that window (in the right click menu again) and select only the channels you want to see for that chat window. Then you can move it around and place it where you want it at. Prat is a good addon if you need/want timestamps, abbreviations, resizing, etc, but if you don't want or need those things, don't get yourself worked up over an add-on. Ultimately, all add-ons are personal, if you don't like them, it doesn't mean three hundred others don't. There's lots of chat mods out there, Prat and Chatter are the two most often used, so if you don't like one, then use the other.
Also, you'd probably have a better response if you just asked nicely, instead of taking out your 2.4.3 to 3.0 frustration out on the comments sections of mods. That transition was hard for all of us, and mod authors most of all because Blizz changed so many things in the API that mod authors scrambled for fixes and patches to get their mods hobbling into WotLK. We feel your pain, but you don't have to be angry at us about it.
Maybe I'm just a weeee bit frustrated after enduring three days of addon hell after returning to WoW from a six month break. Maybe I'm used to using IM and IRC apps that don't suck. But what does Prat DO that's so useful it's the most popular chat addon here?
I'm not trying to troll. I'm just utterly baffled...
But I've got a problem with not receiving the first whisper of "unkonwn" people, not sure if it's a problem with Prat, SpamMeNot and/or IgnoreMore, but I've removed Prat to see if it goes away (as I can't live without the other two.) I'll see if I can find another addon to add timestamps though, as they are really useful.
