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.

I just pointed out what has worked for me and was suggested from author of addon.

"1. Go to Prat -> Display Settings, untick ALL sticky channels. 2. Realod UI 3. Enable the channels you want." Also need to point out that it worked with /rl only not with logout.Also i use only default profile so i didnt change any profiles to fix this .

As to permanent fix

"This only happens to certain users, and never me - so I am at a loss - there must be some combination of settings or a certain locale, or something....." if i understand it corectly this bug seems to be from how things are saved so your best best would be to reinstall addon in someway to clear old settings if fixes like this dont work.

You might be right since i now expereineced same bug on char i thought it was fixed

Did litle more testing and on 1 char druid it seems permenent when on another warr it doesnt.Weird.

Said it too soon.Another relog and bug is back on druid as well.

Nice addon with a lot of potential. Can you add more customization to PopupMessages? Some examples I can think of at the moment:

- Moving the RaidWarning style PopupMessage to different locations on the screen

- Customizing the appearance and style of PopupMessages (Raid Warning, etc)

- Customizing the appearance, style and associated sound file of each text message result from each individual predefined keyword of the PopupMessage module

Is ChannelSticky working ? I need a functionality similar with WIM channels (when I'm Gchat, i send message to /g, when in party tab i send to /p ...). Not sure if this is possible in Prat.

Hi Guys - I am proposing a new module to Prat called "Mentions". Please have a look here, and comment.

Alpha version development will begin soon but I want input.

I'm having some degree of difficulty trying to get the chat tabs (General, Combat Log, etc.) to stop fading on Classic. Every google search has pretty much said to disable ChatTabs under Module Control, but that doesn't seem to change anything. (On retail, I don't even have this setting loaded/disabled and the tabs are always visible.)

I couldn't seem to find any other options regarding fading (outside of the entire window). Am I missing something obvious?

Ever since update:

\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.

Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

Tried that fix and still the same result.

My workaround works 100% but if I quit, log out, or have to reload ui for some reason ... I have to do the workaround again!

Very annoying ... a permanent fix would be much better

Does anyone know how/if this can be changed?

In Classic, the combat window can't be dragged down any further than this. It's like there is an invisible border clamping it to the screen. In Retail, there's no such limitation.

TIA!

Can someone explain why it changes the colour of some words? If I say "some" it is displayed in pink. If I say "me" it's displayed in blue. If I say "ffs" it's yellow. I don't understand the logic behind it. There is nothing in the settings to explain this.
