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.

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
wow realy? i wont get this addon.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hi to all, i've a problem with this addon, it's doesn't show the color name by class in guild chat, doesn't show character level and doesn't show the [G] but simple [Guild] i searched and tried all possible option for this but it continue to make these problems. The only motivation for this shit is Total RP 2...some one know this addon? but more importantly...someone has found these problem like me? HELP PLEASE! :(
Make sure you not only have Prat 3.0 enabled but also Prat 3.0 libraries.
Hi. Just wanted to report a bug with WoW Dings. WoW Dings is an addon which enables you to add smileys and other icons within the game. When I do the smile in guild chat " :) " it comes up as a question mark for me, but others can see the smiley. Just thought i'd tell you. Thanks :)
I don't want to have 15 other add-ons enabled just to have enough sounds to choose from for chat notifications for different channels or whispers. Does anybody know of add-ons or plug-ins that just have sounds usable by Prat? I've searched every single page of Curse and WowInterface and tried quite a few, but none worked with Prat for channel sounds. :( Ideas?? (On any other legit add-on site is fine, too.) Thanks!! I <3 this add-on, but the main draw is the channel sounds. If that doesn't work, then there's little point, imho...
Is there any enable button to show the typing box :s
too imposing of crap I definatly don't want and the copy feature not nearly as efficiant as CCopy. Going back and doing a bit of programming so that I can just have a more efficiant copy feature.
Is it possible to block/filter unicode text from asians in chat?
This addon is broken, it makes the game crash!
It has already been asked, but I can't bring myself to read 178 pages of comments. Is there a way to resize the chatbox and/or undock it and move it? Thanks for your patience.
