Request: Chat Player Level & Classcolors

[Tonyleila]

Woud be great to have the level of players writing in chat and the name in Class colors. I guess this is at least possible for guild chats. If its possible for the zone chat or group chat too that woud be cool too of cause.

Why?
Many players just write "LFM Dungon Xyz" or "Can someone tell me how quest xyz works?" Then you have to go into the guild roster check if the dungon is for your level or you check the level or class to answer the question.

I talked with some guildmates about it and I think many ppl woud love this addon. I have made this example how it coud look like ingame:

[GuildName][v6][@AccName123]: Example text

[GuildName][46][@AccName2Two]: Another example text

[GuildName][12][@CrAzYAcNaMe65]: Another example text

[GuildName][33][@Accountname]: Another example text

---------------
Explanation:
[46] = Level Text

@ in fraction Color
@ = Aldmeri Dominion
@ = Daggerfall Covenant
@ = Ebonheart Pact


Classcolors for names:
Templer
Sorcerer
Dragon Knight
Nightblade

I've got the basic structure of it laid out (completely nondynamic code):



Now I just have to tie in the functionality and write a LibGuildInfo so I can extract the required information for the chat.

Wohhaaa very cool! I'm very exited about it!



And do you think this its also possible for friends and group members?
Will it work together wirth pChat and DerpURL? I use pChat to give the different guild chats colors..

I'll stage the development to see if I can cover that. I have to develop a LibGuildInfo first so I can extract all the necessary data, and I'll extend it to friend/party details.

As for other addon compatibility, I'll have to wait and see if I can write this in a way that doesn't break everything else =)

Guild Chat

I'll add in colour customisation and friends soon. I'm actually unsure as to how it will work, if at all with friend chats.

Nor do I know of any complications with other chat addons. There -shouldn't- be much, but I'm not sure how the 'use character name' mod will affect things...
