    ChatLinkIcons  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

    Version: 3.4
    by: SDPhantom [More]

    ChatLinkIcons adds icons to links in chat similar to ChatIcons with all original code and support for all player links. Even players outside of your party/raid.

    ChatLinkIcons also integrates with Pawn for more utility. Links for items that are upgrades will show with a green upgrade arrow next to the link. This can be turned on/off in the options and requires Pawn to be installed and loaded for this feature to be available.

    The following limitations apply:

    • Player links from system messages such as notices of friends/guildmates logging in will only display icons if the addon has seen that player in the current session.
    • RealID/BNet communication doesn't supply sufficient information to display uniform data for player links.
    • Talent links are currently unsupported as there is no API to take a TalentID from a link and get an icon for it. (Classic only)

    Known Issues:
    • Compatibility with other chat addons isn't guaranteed. While I try to write hooks in a generic fashion to support other addons, I can't account for everything they can do.
    • Icons may initially appear blank. This is a Blizzard ChatFrame bug involving using in-game textures. Scrolling the ChatFrame makes the icons reappear.

    Only display Races?
    I've just recently found your addon and always wanted something like that. But I would like a function where you could turn off the showing of the player classes. Is that something you could consider implementing? Or could you just tell me, which parts in the lua-file I need to change or delete?

    Great addon so far, and thanks in advance.
