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 NXVash:
There is already a Github fork with this name already and its also the one that is linked here for the issues and source code. I already pushed my changes to their fork so i hope they can fix the other problems i cant and maybe push a proper update here on curseforge.
I've noticed that some other addons like ArkInventory are getting blocked due to calling ClearTarget(). I think Blizzard's UI is at fault here. Not Prat's problem or yours.
In reply to ETSeki:
You should create a separate addon and call it Prat Legacy of Sylvanaar or something similar and maybe we can get some devs to help keep his legacy alive.

Ty so much!

Thanks for picking this up!
Thank you so much! Some bugs with Edit Mode but overall it's working really well.
In reply to ETSeki:
Hello. I cant get the UI to save to bottom left side with the new edit mode blizzard has done. Can you just do a "move button" and not a "edit button", so it does not activate this new garbage edit mode blizzard has done. I tried for like an hour now, nothing works. It wont save position no matter what I try...Only thing left is to nuke my cache/wtf folder but im not gonna do that loosing 50-150 hours of addon work... https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/wont-save-ui-after-edit-mode/1379907

In reply to ETSeki:
Thank you!!! It's working OK for me so far, only error was the pop up in Edit Mode but that's not a big deal.
In reply to ETSeki:
Is there a way to make the chat window taller? I've gone into Display > Frames and adjusted the maximum height, but it doesn't seem to make the window taller at all. Am I missing something?

Would love to see an update for Dragonflight
In reply to kaoskattv:
Sadly that never will happen.. The Addon creator passed away nearly 2 years ago now and no one have picked up the Addon for continued development.
RIP Sylvanaar. Is anyone taking up the project, or fixing the Dragonflight pre-patch errors?
If you guys would like help maintaining this, please reach out to me. I can't promise a lot but I can help where I can.
Hi,
Can you update for WOTLK Classic please?
Would be awesome, thanks a lot!
