Can you change prat class colors?

[sapporo]

Hey I was curious if you could change the Prat class colors. Shamans are colored pink (paladin color) in chat rather than blue.

I will happy if someone find us a solution

That's just what the shaman color is.

I mean I assume I could edit the lua to change it. In retail it's blue and that's what I want, I assume it's one string for both.

Dug around for a second; Prat uses Babble-Class-2.2 library to get class colors, which in turn uses the API function RAID_CLASS_COLORS as expected. In other words, the addon is asking the game which color to use for which class (was certainly new to me to see pink used for shaman, as a Wrath babby, but obviously makes sense).

If you really want, here's a hacky way to do what you want:
Go to Addons\Prat\libs\Babble-Class-2.2 and open the Lua file.
Go to line 123, which reads:

Code: Select all

if RAID_CLASS_COLORS and RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class] then
      return RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].r, RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].g, RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class].b

Change the "if" to "elseif" (no space) and paste the following before it:

Code: Select all

if RAID_CLASS_COLORS and RAID_CLASS_COLORS["Shaman"] then
      return 0, 122, 222

That should work. I guess. I'm not a programmer, just some idiot who learned C++ and Java in highschool. Basically you're telling it "wait wait, if it's a shaman just go ahead and make it this color before asking the game". Shouldn't affect your paladin color, either.

If it doesn't work I'll actually bother to test it and get it right for you, lol.

A quick 2 minute search on google reveals that Shamans were in fact PINK before the Burning Crusade. This makes sense seeing as how they were faction exclusive back then.

Just make an addon that overwrites RAID_CLASS_COLORS with the following table - since it's global, all you have to do is make an addon with the following content:

Code: Select all

RAID_CLASS_COLORS = {
    ["HUNTER"] = { r = 0.67, g = 0.83, b = 0.45, colorStr = "ffabd473" },
    ["WARLOCK"] = { r = 0.58, g = 0.51, b = 0.79, colorStr = "ff9482c9" },
    ["PRIEST"] = { r = 1.0, g = 1.0, b = 1.0, colorStr = "ffffffff" },
    ["PALADIN"] = { r = 0.96, g = 0.55, b = 0.73, colorStr = "fff58cba" },
    ["MAGE"] = { r = 0.41, g = 0.8, b = 0.94, colorStr = "ff69ccf0" },
    ["ROGUE"] = { r = 1.0, g = 0.96, b = 0.41, colorStr = "fffff569" },
    ["DRUID"] = { r = 1.0, g = 0.49, b = 0.04, colorStr = "ffff7d0a" },
    ["SHAMAN"] = { r = 0.0, g = 0.44, b = 0.87, colorStr = "ff0070de" },
    ["WARRIOR"] = { r = 0.78, g = 0.61, b = 0.43, colorStr = "ffc79c6e" },
    ["DEATHKNIGHT"] = { r = 0.77, g = 0.12 , b = 0.23, colorStr = "ffc41f3b" },
    ["MONK"] = { r = 0.0, g = 1.00 , b = 0.59, colorStr = "ff00ff96" },
};

I have tried to make a lua file with that text Schaka linked but I can't get it work. My Grid and Prat still use the default class colors.. Could anyone be able to make this addon?

[Vorfidus]

If nobody else has done it, I'll do it when I get home today and upload it. Like the others said, you just need to edit the LUA file inside the addon, which dictates the colors based on RGB.

Awesome, I'll be using it and include it into my UI pack.
