    ChatIcons  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

    Version: 1.0.3
    by: tardmrr [More]

    ChatIcons adds item, spell, player class, and achievement icons to the chat frames next to player, item and spell links.

    FAQ

    Q: Why is the vertical alignment in the chatframes not exactly like it is in the example text?
    A: I dunno. Just play with it until you find something you like.

    Q: Sometimes it makes the fonts in my chat frame go all funny looking. What's up with that?
    A: This is actually a Blizzard bug with embedded textures so all I can do is wait. The issue seems to be different depending on the font you use in your chat frame. I use a font other than the default in my own UI, and I don't have this issue. So you may want to try using a font addon to change the chat font if you have this issue (and it bothers you a lot).

    Q: Why don't class icons appear in global channels and whispers?
    A: ChatIcons only adds player icons to Party, Raid and Guild messages because the player's class is only reliably available in those contexts. I do not want to have inconsistent behavior in global channels and whispers when ChatIcons can place icons for the players it has seen and not for others. I also do not want to resort to hijacking Who queries to find out the class of people it doesn't know. Nor do I want to be keeping a record of what class everyone on the server plays.

    No more than your name does to you. No worries, your insults are meaningless to me, perhaps I should have simply gratzed you on your placeholder mod until the PTR becomes a reality.
    Apologies to a true visionary!

    See authors usually test their addons in the PTR to make sure they will work on the next patch. Very common thing to do. Makes sure your addon on is ready when the next patch goes live.

    Now not to many people post their addons before the next patch goes live but either way ... you can wait for it to go live get his addon or just use the available links to go back a version and use that.

    There is not much sense in testing an addon in the current version when the next big patch is just around the corner.

    And i'm not to sure what you meant by "dissapear" when the PTR goes live ... you do know what the PTR is right??

    It would be very cool if you put in parsing for SAY, CHANNEL etc. but with the informations given through the friendslist, UnitName, GuildRoster or RaidRoster

    The reason I don't support this at the moment is that I didn't like the idea of it being inconsistent within a channel (some people with class icons and some without in the same channel). I suppose if people really want this feature, I can add an option to work in all channels which would be off by default.

    The vertical offset of the icons is not being persisted between sessions. The offset value is preserved in the settings, but the actual visual offset is not maintained. If I go back into the settings and hit 'Okay', the offset is corrected.

    Yeah, works nice now...one request. Can you make it work for Officer chat please? I get all the guild and party stuff scrolling up my window, but when someone talks in Officer chat it looks odd now. Thanks. =D


    Edit:
    Nevermind, changed line 98 to the following and it works fine.
    Code:
    if example or event == "CHAT_MSG_PARTY" or event == "CHAT_MSG_RAID" or event == "CHAT_MSG_GUILD" or event == "CHAT_MSG_OFFICER" then

    Ah, yeah. It's been a long time since I've used officer chat so I forgot it was a seperate event. Thanks, I'll make this change in the next release.
