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 oxed:
I will add a command /copychatfull to help you.
The copy button is in the top left corner of the chatframe - you have to hover over it to see it.
I am developing a brand new moduile. This module works sort of like slack or teams chat. You can @mention someone, and they will be notified about your message.
so if i am talking in guild and I say "Hey @person1 @person2 lets run an instance"
Each of those persons will get a message to alert them.
Its very experimental - but I think its going to be useful and I'd like to see what uses you can find for it and what improvements you will suggest.
I created a community so I can get in touch with people who can help test the addon. Please join if you are interested.

In reply to sylvanaar:
when i tried mentioned it type in guild chat but also it pop a whisper tab to the person that I mentioned! can I stop whisper and once I type @ it will list names of people who is online this channel?
In reply to oxed:
The whisper is the whole feature - but maybe you mean hide the whisper tabs
Having some issues with the logic to color character names:
We have a character named "Precisìon" with an ASCII character for the "i" in his name who is a Hunter, and a Mage named "On" in our guild.
It's coloring "Precisìon" name half green for the first part (Hunter) but right after the "i" it is burning Mage blue.
Screenshot here:
In reply to DomDashSix:
Well - one way to fix it is to blacklist "On"
That will stop his name from getting colored
recently im facing problems where I can not click armory links or items unless I reset all chat setting
also, I have a suggestion if you can add Filter where we can filter chat trade and yell..etc
In reply to oxed:
You can do almost everything with the CustomFilters module - it is just kinda complicated.
Can you share your use case?
In reply to sylvanaar:
hello,
thanks for replay, like in trade or how to gather all Whispers in one tab instead o open tab for each whisper sometime I got 5 whispers a lot of tabes hehe
I have brought back the search module! You can search your chat for anything you would like - simply use the /find command.
For example:
find all messages sent by you (or with your name in it)
/find <your char name>
find all the stuff you looted
/find You receive
find guilds that are recruiting
/find recruiting
Let me know how it can be improved - it is quite handy
In reply to sylvanaar:
very nice i tried it, but its a bit confused if result pop in another new tab will be better
also if you can use mentioned since you added
e.g. /find @mentioend
Ive got 2 problems:
1. Getting error when trying on/off Zero Clamp Size option:

2. Combat Log window is not "clamped". You can clamp it again if you undock/dock, but after relog it is off position again.
In reply to GregoryWW:
#1 is addressed in the new build
Try #2 again after this fix - let me know
In reply to sylvanaar:
#1 fixed
#2 no diff. still misplaced after relog :( screenshots just in case

In reply to GregoryWW:
I am confused you show me bad with the frame not in the dock, and good with the frame in the dock.So you want to ensure that the frame is in the dock?I think i see what the problem is - when you undock the frame you cant clamp it flush left. Fixed 3.7.60
In reply to sylvanaar:
No, you got it wrong. Its DOCKED on "bad" screenshot. Look where tab title "L" is - it is inside main window. But log window itself is misplaced.
If I undock/dock it again it is ok ("good" screenshot), but after relog it again same "bad" while technically it is still docked.
Still same on 3.7.61
In reply to GregoryWW:
So, I think I get it.
1) Your dock is flush left as the result of having the "Zero Clamp Size" option on at some point
2) The "Zero Clamp Size" option is no longer on
3) You undocked the combat log, and redocked it
To fix: (using current version only)
1) Enable "Zero Clamp Size"
2) Undock combat log
3) Re dock combat log
