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.
In reply to Superthrust:
I also use BlizzMove.
But it doesn't lock anything in place how I would like it, and it certainly doesn't have the vast database of moveable items as Move Anything.

Any fix for shaman class color? It's showing me as pink. Thanks.

In reply to fantara1:

I really wish you would make it more clear what each module controls and does.
Hello Sylvanaar
For the Beta TBC , fix error lua in playername.lua.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if select(4, GetBuildInfo()) < 80000 and select(4, GetBuildInfo()) >= 26000 then --(TBC beta 2510)
self:RegisterEvent("PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED", "updateParty")
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We should probably also review Prat.IsClassic in addon.lua
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if _G.WOW_PROJECT_ID == 5 then Prat.IsClassic = true end
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In reply to lanscetre:
How should I modify Prat.IsClassic in addon.lua?
This is how it looks. Am I even in the right place? Can you copy/paste yours?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prat.Prat3 = true
Prat.IsClassic = (_G.WOW_PROJECT_ID == _G.WOW_PROJECT_CLASSIC)
Prat.IsRetail = (_G.WOW_PROJECT_ID == _G.WOW_PROJECT_MAINLINE)
In reply to lanscetre:
Hey man.
Can you tell me where I need to add these lines in whichever file?
Hi,
having a problem with the "go to last message" button not disappearing when i untick it in the settings. (flashing arrow at the bottom right corner). Any way i can fix that? thanks
Hello,
Is there a way to hide lef/join notification from the World channel, on Wow classic ?
I spent a lot of time checking all the options, but maybe I've missed something ?
Any1 knows if there's a way to add leadertag next to the guild master name when he speaks in chat?
I've got this (see image below) string showing up between my timestamp and the channel abbreviation that I can't identify and therefore can't remove. Anyone have any idea what it is?
Hello,

Hello, settings for chat bubbles doesn't work in any comb... can I fix that?
Why do whispers now pop in a seperate tab? I have missed so many and cant figure out how to just have them appear in the general tab?
It's a new Blizzard added feature. Go to Interface>Social>New Whispers to change it.
In reply to kird:
That's a game setting, not Prat. Go to your Interface > Chat settings and you'll see the option to disable that.
unfortunately i stop using the addon i keep give me crash game when i enter M+
