Posted Apr 5, 2015Hi Oscarucb
Was wondering if you could also have the ability to add the players Class Icon to either before or after the Role Icon with the text.
ie. (Class Icon)(Role Icon) Name : Message
I don't really like using the class colors for the chat as sometimes it's hard to make out the name. So was hoping adding this icon would be possible.

Posted May 7, 2014I'm having an odd issue with this addon of late.
Basically... well... in raid chat or party chat or instance chat, only some people get their role icons in front of their names. Only in chat is it erratic and uncertain - everywhere else it works just fine like on the raid window and stuff.

Note that players with no assigned role (via the Blizzard role settings) will not have one displayed.

Posted Jan 9, 2014The role icons are showing twice on Healbot frames, and the two icons aren't identical. The first version of the icon is dirty(not sharp) and the second one is much more clean. Is there a way to nix the first of the two icons?

Posted Jan 9, 2014Healbot recently added built-in role icons (controlled under the Bar Text menu). You can toggle the Healbot icons from this addon with the command: /ri hbicon

Posted Nov 16, 2013I like a lot this addon but everytime someone joins or leaves a party or raid it spams something like this: "|Hplayer:name:name| has joined..."
I'm not sure if it's a conflict with Prat.
Thank you.

Posted Nov 17, 2013I use Prat on all my characters and have never seen that, although Prat has a huge number of settings so it's likely a conflict with one of them you have set.
Please post a ticket here: http://www.wowace.com/addons/roleicons/tickets
and include screenshots of your Prat settings and an exact copy or scrrenshot of the text so I can try to reproduce it.

Posted Oct 30, 2013This is a Blizzard bug introduced in 5.4.1. The error message is completely harmless in itself and can be safely ignored. Addon version 4.3.3 adds a workaround that should prevent the harmless error in most cases.
There is no known fulling-working general solution on the addon side, this is something that Blizzard needs to fix. Please help complain on these forum threads:

Posted Oct 12, 2013I'm just blown away by the simplicity and ideas you put into this addon. Having role icons on system messages such as joined/left is just ... amazing.
However, there is a catch ;) In one of the previous alphas you displayed the full realm name. Now it's only the first three letters. Unfortunately, on deDE many realms share similar names, such as "Die Aldor" or "Die Nachtwache". To make matters worse, those are in the same realm pool. Some people (*whistles innocently*) have prejudices against player from certain realms and having an option to display the full realm name would be very much appreciated :)
