Color RealID whispers by class?

[Wimpface]

Google searched yielded nothing but ElvUI and ShestakUI links.

I'm looking for a standalone addon that colors RealID whispers by class. RealID whispers aren't that confusing to tell apart because they use real names, but Battle Tags really get to me for some reason. Many times now have I sent a whisper to the wrong person because I'm whispering different battle tags and they're all similar length and same color. Just coloring the name would go a long way for me.

Does anyone know if such an addon exists?

Try PhanxChat. The description I read on that addon says that it replaces RealID names with character names. Its possible that it also colors by class or this change makes the color by class option in the default blizz chat settings work for them as well.

Apart from that I don't see a specific addon that does just what you want, but it might be worth trying out the chat addons to see if they do what you want as well as other stuff.

Last time I checked, Phanx was not a big fan of having his/her addons included in compilations, something that is an issue for me.

I'm also fairly happy with my current chat addon, and this is the only functionality I sorely miss. I cut Chatter for this because I felt Chatter was too cluttered for my needs, not to mention the bugs with channel name replacements.

I tried looking into adding the functionality by ripping some code out of ElvUI, but that ended up horribly confusing.

Ah, didn't realise you wanted to add it to a compilation.

I'll have a dabble before I head off to bed to see if I can rig up something small.

Unfortunately, but I'm not even sure I wouldn't be here asking either way.

This would be very nice! I'd really appreciate that. I can wait, however, so don't feel pressured on time if you'd rather sleep. I'm in no hurry.

Give this a whirl. I couldn't test it properly as the person I usually chat to for hours on end wasn't in game today. And my only other bnet friend online was in and out of dungeons and it bugged out on the only message I got rofl.

Did some tweaking and added some messages for debugging purposes. Just set debugMessages to false and the messages will stop appearing on the next UI reload.

Let me know if it still doesn't work and send a screenshot of those debug messages in that instance and I'll spend some time on it when my chatty friend next logs in, before start playing.
