ChatColor - Addon

[The-Eradicator]

This addon will color your outbound chat messages. It will not affect GM commands. I wrote this in 2.3, I am releasing it because of this post.

If you don't like it, don't post as I really don't care. Constructive criticism is fine.

This addon is released under the WTFPL - Do What The **** You Want To Public License.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

It doesn't work. I get disconnected.
The chat color exploit has been fixed on your server. Tough luck.

How do I install this addon?
Download ChatColor.rar from the above Filebeam link. Extract it to your World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons folder.

What version of WoW does this work on?
It was designed on 2.3.0, i've done slight testing on 3.1.3 and it appears to work fine. Simply check 'Load out-of-date addons' on the Addons window, on the Character Select screen.

How do I use this addon?
There are two commands.

• #color - Toggles whether outbound messages are colored.
• #set ###### - Sets your color. This should be hexadecimal. There is no validation on input.

Enjoy.
