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:
- To combat taint with the Blizzard Communities frame, this addon uses Blizzard's MessageEventFilter API. This is notorious for being broken in 3rd party chat replacement addons.
- There's a bug with Blizzard's international fonts that causes misalignment of embedded textures.
