I have been wanting to add that very feature, but I can't come up with a clean way to do it that doesn't guess wrong more often than I'm comfortable.

I really have come to enjoy this addon immensely. Being a visual person, seeing those Icons attached with text, I can easily identify them without even having to read what it pertains. Well some of it, you know what I mean.

One thing, I'm not sure if it is/is not possible is putting icons associated with money loot like they are when you sell things to the vendor, i.e.:

1 gold, 10 silver into 1 [GOLD ICON] 10 [SILVER ICON]

But again, great addon that I'll always have in my arsenal!

You can't SetTexCoord on textures embedded in fontstrings.

i am sure you know this but you can use the built in icons for class and race instead of including hard coded icons...

"Interface\\Glues\\CharacterCreate\\UI-CharacterCreate-Races"
"Interface\\Glues\\CharacterCreate\\UI-CharacterCreate-Classes"

and then use SetTexCoord to change the offset to the race or class within that image...

Proximo does something similar:

thanks for the great addon.

actually this started with 2.4.2 for me. But that's rather a Blizzard bug I'd say...

Using this mod as of the rolling restart this morning makes the chatbox show small lines and specks around the icons and all text.

Sorry, that's not possible. Even if we had access to the texture objects themselves when embedded into text (which we don't), we don't have the ability to mask textures in WoW.

Bleh, it is really hard to search for "|T"... I know I once read something about those texture links, but can't find anything atm.
Do you think it is possible to mask the textures used, to make black parts transparent? Various non-square (especially round) item icons have a black background, which looks really fugly in the chat, small and against a shifting background color.

Found it ... sorry to be a pain but I should have checked my addons first. I know better than that.

FYI it was an old addon I still had and forgot to remove Item Link Recolor

So it is not a bug in your code

tardmrr

Item icons should always appear regardless of channel. This is either a conflict with another addon or a bug in my code. I haven't heard of this issue before so my guess leans towards a conflicting addon.

Sepioth

I see the icons in trade channel only usually.


Once in a while they work when I loot mobs but not usually.

I don't really care about the class icon which I only see in Guild chat ... just the item icons.

My options look exactly like your screenshot here.


Also I saw the note on the info page and I assume that Player Icons is referencing the Class icons next to name. Almost missed it it was so small.

If it is another addon causing this then I might try to figure it out.

Just was not too sure if the item icons only appeared in certain chat channels.

Thanks for the help

You're going to have to be more specific about your problem if I'm going to be able to help you. If I had to guess, though, I'd say you either haven't installed the addon properly or another addon is conflicting with it.

Do you see the ChatIcons options in the Addons tab of the Interface Options?
What options do you have enabled? (a screenshot of your options panel would probably be easiest)
Do you never see icons or only sometimes?
Did you forget to read the fine print in the addon's description?

Sepioth

How come I don't always see icons??

Is it only used during certain chat??

Can it be enabled to show on all Item Links??

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.
