Prat is a chat addon framework, and collection. It consists of 30+ modules which each add some functionality to the WoW chat interface. There is literally a module for just about everything chat related. While large in size, i have been working to keep the runtime memory usage down, and eliminate the costs of the unused modules without littering the addon directory with a slew of folders.
For the options menu, type "/prat", or if you have a broker host mod installed you will get a launcher icon.
You control the load behavior of modules via the module control screen. You have 3 choices "Dont load", "Disabled", and "Enabled"
Since this is still a beta, many modules have not been fully completed. However dont be afraid to try them out.
You can report any bugs you find here:

For those interested:
There is an additional folder Prat-3.0_HighCPUUsageModules. It enables prat's 3's newest features - 2 column chatframes, and mouseover chat-hilighting.
Note: These features use CPU, so they have been placed in a special folder so that is 100% clear. Don't be afraid to try these modules because of the name. The choice to name it this way is more political than technical.
Change Log - Prat 3.0 (Pre-Release)
-- Change logs are included in each zip --
Addition fixes, and other fun stuff
--
Changed the way the addon is packaged. Pulled out the high cpu module for you.
---
Added global name coloring, There is no option for it at present, it gets enabled when you use the HighCPU use pullout.
Other minor tweaks and fixes. Please continue to report any issues you may encounter.
---
Ace3 is included in the zip - it should fix issues with the config not opening on beta. I haven't tested on live.
I added a simple button module, it was hastily added, because I have been so busy playing on beta.
Fixed the copy bug which would hang the client for a few seconds then give an error.
----
Added ability to set the incoming and outgoing whisper colors independently via the blizz ui. currently this is part of the experimental module
Got since prat 3.0 a "irritating" cosmetic error/fault:
When i am in a raid, and someone ( a player) is given a raid icon, and that person says something in chat (whatever channel) the text goes blurry, almost unreadable. it's like the text is moving to the right (to adjust for the raid icon) but there are some letter parts left in their original position (as if there was no raid icon)
I hope i've explained it somewhat clear. (if not, ill try to get a screenshot)
Thanks in advance
(sorry that i posted my bug here, but I can't login at WoWAce)
Originally posted by siema_co Is there a console command like "/script CopyChat()" to copy current chatbox content?
I really dislike the copy button and remember having something like /script CopyChat() aliased to /copy and it worked just fine. one short command and voila;P
Is this "option" gone or am i missing something?
Its all still there. Turn off the copy buttons, and turn on the alias module
Originally posted by jojoza After I installed WoTLK, shift-clicking player name not only displayes /who information, but also tries to invite this player to guild. Does not happen with Prat disabled. How to turn off this feature?
At most, ALT-Click will do a /invite <person>, which invites them to a group, not a guild.
I'm not sure about SHIFT-Click. Prat doesn't have a feature that does that.
Could someone explain how to change the colors of the coloring of the channel names? /1 seems to have a purpleish tint, but being slightly colorblind, I can't makeout what it says.
Thanks
Use the game's chat interface to change the chat colors.

I miss the /gr-command though. Is there a possibility that it will make a comeback?
Even better would be a little automation in that field. Say for example you are in a battleground, open the chat and write something in the raidchannel. If you press enter nothing would happen because you aren't in a raid. It would be nice if your text would get redirected to the battleground-channel in that case.
With only 1 day left until LK. It will probably have to wait. But sure, that'd be super useful.
