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.
great addon keep up the great work...
You need Libbabble Class which is part of this package:

but my class colours work fine exept for my freindlist :(
rest of the addon is realy great :D
To [70:*******]: *sighs* I need a healer to come help me tame the corehound in SMV :(
whispers: haha <-----------Here is what I'm talking about
To [70:*******]: what
To [70:*******]: that's not funny
Again, pretty minor issue considering all that Prat does (and does well!), just a small irritation. :)
did you delete your old prat folder before installing/copying over this addon? if not try deleteing the addons\prat folder and then copying the new one back in.
for some reason alot of TBC addons are having problems if you don't remove the old version before installing the newest version(I know pitbull was having this problem)
also I noticed some of my addon's weren't saving settings, I took a cmd.exe (command prompt) to <wowfoler>\WTF\Accounts\ and ran an "attrib -r /s /d"(remove the read-only flag from all files and folders in this folder and it's subfolders) and that seemed to help. no idea if it was the main factor though, just something to try.
I cannot get CopyChat to work on my combat log frame now, because I cannot configure it for both frames. It only has an option for the Active frame, which apparently u can only change now by typing into another frame, so it isnt very useful for combat log pasting right now.
open the Font.lua and look for: size = {["*"]=12}
change it to whatever u desire
