Prat 3.0

Table of Contents

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.

\FrameXML\ChatConfigFrame.lua line 1462:
attempt to index local 'info' (a nil value)

When using the editbox (floating, and locked) and then it's reset back to the original location. In order to get it to work as intended, you have to change profiles, and then change it back to your saved profile.

This issue is still ongoing through 8.2.5 and persists through uninstalling, reinstalling, and completely removing all instances, and installing a fresh copy.

Makes no sense as it never happened until 8.2

Possible conflict with another addon perhaps? WIM integration?

Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

I check daily to see if fixes have been issued and as there is none, I have regrettably have uninstalled this addon and will not be using anymore until there errors are resolved as it has been encroaching on my game play.

Thank you for this great addon, and one day I would like to use again.

hey,

i really like your addon but there is one thing i would wish for a chat addon and this is an feature to temporarily set an alarm for specific words used in the chat. like if someone mentions a name, a dungeon, item or so on. what do you think about it?

Cludgy-as-heck fix but it at least gets it to stop throwing errors (and I don't recall it ever coloring Bnet whisper names anyhow, which is what's causing the error for me)... Open up Prat-3.0\modules\classcolor.lua and replace line 19 ("class = class:upper()")with the following (Bnet whisper names are now colored grey but who cares):

if class then
class = class:upper()
else
class = ""
end

FWIW the out-of-the-box Prat settings have always class-colored bnet whispers for me, shortly after the bnet system was introduced. It's only been in the last few content patches, in the recent months, that the function has stopped working. It's a shame, because personally I enjoyed that small QOL tweak.

Regardless, thanks for the cludge-fix! I couldn't figure out what seemed to be spontaneously triggering the errors.

Strange, I don't recall it having done so, but I may have had other settings/addons involved. *shrug* In any case, glad it helped!

I really like this addon but there's limited fonts available, is it possible to add my own fonts to use somehow?

Also wondering how you turn off the blue coloring when someone types "me"

Any word on adding back the option to return shaman colors to pink? Really dislike that this is forced.

Another option that would be neat would be to have a highlight feature, where you can have specific words auto highlight a different color in the chat. Should help to read the LFG channel spam going on.
