RoleIcons - WoW AddOns

RoleIcons is a tiny UI mod that adds Blizzard's party/raid role icons (tank/heal/dps) in several useful places in your UI, and provides several other related features.

Role icons are added to:

The Blizzard raid tab. The role icons replace the level field for max level players.
Game tooltip when you mouse over a player or raid frame
Healbot and Vuhdo tooltip when you mouse over a raid frame
Party/Raid chat (Blizzard chat frames, Prat, Chatter, WIM)
Target frame

Other features:

Enhances the Blizzard Raid tab with role summary counts and class summary counts
Adds a role-check button to the Raid tab
Blizzard Raid tab can now be left-clicked to target a raid member
Blizzard Raid tab can now be middle-clicked to set a raid member's role
Automatically sets your role based on your spec when joining a raid or respeccing
Automatically replies to role checks from the raid leader based on your spec
Adds a tooltip showing the tier token breakdown for the current raid members

Basic Usage:

Install as usual
It Just Works! (tm)

Command Line Usage:

/ri check, /rolecheck - perform a Role Check (must be leader or raid assistant)

Seems pretty clear to me - it automatically sets *your* (the user's) role, and automatically replies to role checks based on your (the user's) spec. It doesn't attempt to set other player's roles, as that would require leader, and may not be reliable. It also doesn't cook you breakfast or bring in the newspaper, but I didn't think it was necessary to list all the things it doesn't do. Despite that limitation many still find it useful.

@oscarucb: Go

Which is why I mentioned how assignments are detected by this should be clarified in the description.

On first glance at the description with Automatically sets your role based on your spec when joining a raid or respeccing & Automatically replies to role checks from the raid leader based on your spec mentioned (among others), it can be interpreted to mean that the mod detects/handles it all automatically. When it doesn't.

- Automatically sets your role based on your spec when joining a raid or respeccing
- Automatically replies to role checks from the raid leader based on your spec
is it possible to deactivate those 2 things?

zidomo - it shows the roles that have been assigned (from any source). If the leader doesnt set roles or do a role check, and nobody sets their own role, then there are no roles to be shown...

As my ticket was closed before I had a chance to reply after further testing, will post here. This doesn't work with either unit frame tooltips or chat icons if the raid lead/assistants have not done role checks. It will show your own icons (as expected) and strangely, occasionally a couple of other people's (which was the basis for the original ticket), but not for the majority if role checks have not been done.

Should note this in the description.
