Class Colors Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 5.4.7.94

by: Phanx [More]

Class Colors lets you change class colors without breaking parts of the Blizzard UI.

Class Colors erlaubt das Ändern der Klassenfarben ohne Interferenzen mit dem Blizzard UI.

Cambiar los colores de clase sin romper la interfaz de usario de Blizzard.

Mudar as cores de classes sem quebrar a interface do usuário da Blizzard.

It is supported by many popular addons, and also applies your custom colors to all parts of the Blizzard UI that are normally class-colored. If you want to colorize more parts of the Blizzard UI, check out yClassColors by yleaf.

Type “/classcolors” for options, or open the Class Colors panel in the Interface Options window.

How to make your addon support Class Colors

Basically, any time your addon would read a value from the RAID_CLASS_COLORS table, just look for a CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS table and read from it instead.

If your addon uses a local upvalue for RAID_CLASS_COLORS, or builds a local cache table of class colors, you should update your upvalue or cache in response to the PLAYER_LOGIN event, and register for a callback to be notified when the user changes a class color.

Please do not check for the !ClassColors addon by name — eg. with GetAddOnInfo or IsAddOnLoaded — or set !ClassColors as a dependency for your addon. Use the methods described above.

See see the CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS documentation for more details!

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 3944 File comments: 1912 Uploads: 38	This addon is called *Class* Colors for a reason. I have no plans to extend it to change reaction colors, reputation colors, power colors, or any other colors. The whole reason this addon exists is that you can't just overwrite values in the normal class colors table, or parts of the default UI stop working. That problem does not exist for other color tables, so you can just overwrite the values directly, and other addons don't need to include any special code to support it. Reaction colors can be changed by overwriting the GameTooltip_UnitColor function and/or overwiting values in the FACTION_BAR_COLORS table. If you need help, post in the Lua/XML Help forum. __________________ ♫ Author/maintainer of Grid, PhanxChat, ShieldsUp, and many more.

Hey Phanx!

I found a bug with your addOn and wanted to know if it was happening to you or anyone else. This is a very odd issue as I did not think this addOn should be interfering with the chat box but someone reported while using my UI the following:

Originally Posted by Mightyconan

Also, did a fresh (completely removed old Addons, Fonts & WTF folders) install of latest MayronUI, and nothing else (yet). The chat is still displaying people's names as [Charname-Realmname]. I disabled all addons and its back to [Charname]. Enabled MayronUI/ClassColors only, and realmname returned. Definitely something in Mayron's code doing this, by process of elimination.

And I then found out it was not my addOn but "!ClassColors" as I disabled everything but this addOn and it does what this person described. I have installed the latest version of this addOn and still have the same issue. Is this a bug or is there any way to fix this? Thanks again

EDIT: I edited some code to fix the problem In the ClassColorsBlizz.lua I altered Lines 58-60 from:

Lua Code:

if color then
    return format("|c%s%s|r", color.colorStr, arg2)
end

to:

Lua Code:

if color then
    local name, server = string.split("-", arg2)
    if server == playerRealm then
        return format("|c%s%s|r", color.colorStr, name)
    else
        return format("|c%s%s|r", color.colorStr, arg2)
    end
end

and I added at the very start of the file, below the documentation:

Lua Code:

local playerRealm = GetRealmName()
local arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4 = string.split(" ", playerRealm)
playerRealm = string.join("", arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4)

That way it only shows the server name if the person is from a different server. It seemed annoying to say "TwistingNether" next to the persons name in the guild chat since I know all members are from my server (as well as trade chat).

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 3944 File comments: 1912 Uploads: 38	The code in ClassColorsBlizz.lua is just a direct copy and paste of Blizzard's code, stripped down to only the coloring parts, and modified to use the custom colors instead of the default ones. It appears that Blizzard's function has changed a bit, though, so I will need to update. I'll do a quick review of the rest of the functions for changes, and try to get an update out tonight. However, !ClassColors does not, and will never, add or change any functionality other than coloring. If you want to selectively add/remove server names differently than the default UI, you'll need to do that in your own code using a chat filter or by hooking ChatFrameN.AddMessage. __________________ ♫ Author/maintainer of Grid, PhanxChat, ShieldsUp, and many more.
