About Prat 3.0

Prat-3.0 is a chat enhancement addon for world of warcraft 3.0.

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.

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)

  • Change arrows, buttons, mouse scroll for chat scroll, scroll speed
  • you can add color per channel, color per lvl, color per class
  • timestamps
  • timestamp color
  • whether to show timestamp (what format the timestamp should be in)
  • whether to show players lvl
  • 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 prolly even add other fonts to that list)
  • change the chat frame/chat box appearance
  • set Chat history
  • 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
  • info keeping
  • url copying
  • full chat copying + options (html,bbcode, plain, forum) + copy button
  • allows pop-up msgs
  • enables tell target /tt
  • Alias options
  • altnames options
  • you can enable/disable all prat modules - dont have to have the ones you dont use running
  • change chat sounds (incoming and outgoing as well as per channel)

Its predecessor, Prat-2.0 has been around since the TBC release in 2006. This new version seeks to improve upon some aspects such as memory use, but still do so without creating 30+ small folders in your addon directory that you have to manage.

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 have been trying to isolate the most resource intensive functionality into the Prat_HighCPUUSageModules folder. You can enable or disable it per your preference.

    feature idea:

    showing specified channels (like trade chat) in a differrent (smaller) font, but showing guild chat still in a big size.

  • #3207

    Oke, i cant hold my self any more =)

    What is high cpu load module? I never ever loaded and been using prat for some 4-5 years. Whats the function of it?

     

    Thanks

    /qurious bastard!

  • #3206

    I keep hearing ping sounds when i am in combat for when something procs and when it fades, is there a way to disable tha?

    Looked through the options and i cannot seem to find something for it.

  • #3201

    Hi nice addon and great job.

    Is there a way to add an alt+clic invite with battle.net whsip and conversation ?

  • #3200

    Scrolling module doesnt start when addon loads

  • #3199
    URL Hyperlinking

    Hey, I just started trying out the addon, and it's great, but I have a question... is there a way to enable URL hyperlinking, so instead of having to copy the URL, I could just click or alt click it and it would open a new tab in my browser? Thanks in advance for any help.

  • #3202

    No addon can do that. Blizzard prevents addons from doing anything outside of the game for the safety of the user. It would be such a shame if someone clicked a link in chat then they're loaded with 50 billion keyloggers.

  • #3198

    I have a simple question, where is the filter button to stop the background color of the chat box to fade away. i want to it to stay full black background. please help.

  • #3197

    Love this addon. But there is 1 thing that i am missing... there is no sound when other guild members gets an achievement in guild chat.

    i would love to see this in the addon

  • #3194

    Hey I submited a ticket in the game..

    when a GM contacted me I never saw the message. popping.

    am just woundering if Prat disables this in the settings or something..

    ors its another addon (bartender probs)

    hope some one can help me?

     

    but very good add on

  • #3203

    wow realy? i wont get this addon.

  • #3204

    No, not really.  The OP asked a question--he never said that he knew Prat did that.  I suspect he "received" the message while lagged out of the game (that brief period where a player is disconnected from the game but the server has yet to update his/her online status).  Prat does not block GM messages, and even if it did (or could!), it would obviously not do so by default.

  • #3195

    Did you have chat window tabs disabled? Sometimes the GM window appears as a tab next to General and Combat Log. Also, do you use something like MoveAnything? Even if the chat window is hidden, you should get a bubble thing in the top right corner of your screen, when clicked should show the GM chat window.

  • #3192

    So...

    How do I go about changing the size of my chat box when I don't have the top or bottom in my screen?  Min/max frame sizes in prat are useless and doesn't change a thing.  Uninstalled, reinstalled addon and that's not working either.

    I'd like to get back to not having my chat take up 1/4 of my screen now kthx.

  • #3193

    just have to unlock the chat window by right- clicking a channel and selecting unlock, and the resize thing will appear in the bottom right corner.
