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.

Thanks for the tip, this worked perfectly for me.
Can eliminate errors for now if you disable the ChannelSticky module.

Lots of error with this new patch :/
the /gr feature of the addon isn't working and conflicts with other addons when it is tried.
Can we expect an update soonish? Please? I love Prat, but its just not working the way it should and hasnt for a long while. Bugging out other addons as well. :-/
First I love this addon. Second I have color blindness which makes it hard to see the chat text unless I have a solid black background. My issue is that when ppl aren't actually chatting or anything and the text fades out I get stuck with ugly black frames. I would love to see the background fade away a few seconds after text has faded away and then come back if new text gets printed. Is this possible to add or have I missed a setting somewhere? Also having frames go solid with mouse over is not a solution cause I cant focus on hovering during raids etc.

when I used Prat whenever someone made a link in chat, that person's name and sometimes the link to click on wasn't in the line. Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I am not going to use Prat until this gets fixed.
Class color's don't seem to work and there is no opstion to set them.
Sometimes opens the chat when click near unit frames or nameplate, this is an option or buggy?
is this abandonned?
For some reason randomly on only some characters I can not click on peoples names to open the menu of options, like whisper or ignore. But it works on some characters. Any idea why this is?
In private message frame's input box. I can't move the cursor to right or left, like normal chart frame. I have to hold the Alt key to move corsor to right.
havent seen any solution regarding this yet. im experiencing it too, but in my case, i can not see chat from any channel (general, trade, custom made).
=(
Since the last few rounds of hotfixes, I am now running in a continuous party chat issue with Prat. When in a party, Party chat doesn't show up at all in my chat box. I've disabled all other addons to test this and It is Prat that breaks it. D: Any odeas?
This addon bugged my chatbar and now is messed up of this addon... why?

Is there any way to make all sounds play through the Master Channel instead of no specified channel? Could this be an option perhaps?
edit: seems the sounds are through the master channel, but not the preview noises in the user interface, this could lead to user confusion
