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

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 If the client patches, update the .toc ## Interface number (current: 50500) so the game doesn’t mark it as “out of date”.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).
