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 also am unable to copy text from chat. Would love to see this fixed as it's the main reason I use this addon.

Just a question, will this AddOn get an update soon or? Many of the features are not working. Copy/Paste from chat, Professions links are broken, Fonts cannot be changed, etc..

Open World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Prat-3.0\modules\CopyChat.lua, find PlaySound("igChatBottom") and replace it with

PlaySound(828);

Not sure if anyone else has this issue, but when I log off and back on, the whisper history regularly contains the wrong names.

For example: Person A whispered me, but when I log on Person Z is shown as the person who sent/received the whispers.

This happens pretty much every single time I relog.

Unfortunately this has been happening for a couple of years for me. I just figured "working as intended" lol.

Yes, I've been figuring out why too... But it seems that it only affected b.net whispers for me. Whispers to character name is ok.

Popupmessage not working, no LUA error popped up either.

I have PopupMessage ticked under "Output" section and all ticked under "Show Popups" section and added "Nick" as nickname.

But when I type Nick in chat, nothing pops up.
