Friends Class Colors (MoP Classic)

Adds class colors to the Friends list in Mists of Pandaria Classic.

• WoW friends (added by character): colors the entire name by class.
• Battle.net friends: colors only the character name in parentheses by class (e.g. Account (Character) → the part inside () gets the class color).

Lightweight, zero-config, no saved variables. Works well alongside ElvUI.

Features

• Class color for WoW friends (full line).
• Class color for BNet friends inside parentheses only.
• Safe UI hook (FriendsFrame_UpdateFriendButton) — the addon doesn’t taint chat or modify data.
• Minimal footprint; loads instantly.

Installation

1. Extract the folder FriendsClassColors into:

    

   World of Warcraft\_classic_\Interface\AddOns\

   Make sure the addon is enabled on the character select screen. If the client patches, update the .toc ## Interface number (current: 50500) so the game doesn’t mark it as “out of date”. Type /reload in game.

Compatibility

• Built for MoP Classic (Interface 50500).
• Should work with most UI packs (including ElvUI).
• If another addon fully replaces the Friends frame, it may override our coloring; load this addon after such UI mods or test with only ElvUI enabled.

Known limitations

• BNet friends not currently playing WoW (no character shown in parentheses) won’t be colored.
• If Blizzard changes the Friends frame API in a future patch, the coloring may need an update.
• Retail-only classes (Demon Hunter, Evoker) may appear uncolored on some MoP Classic clients. The MoP Battle.net API often does not expose their class data, so the addon can’t determine a color. PRs welcome if you have a reliable cross-client method.

Troubleshooting

• Not showing? Ensure the addon is enabled and /reload.
• Still gray? Temporarily disable other social/friends addons to check for conflicts.
• Interface mismatch? Update the .toc ## Interface to your current build (use /run print((select(4, GetBuildInfo()))) to see it).
