Identity-2
This addon allows you to specify your main character's name, an identity format string, and which channels will have your identity tag prepended. It also allows you to specify a nickname for use in Raid and Party channels.
Basic instructions:
use `/id to go the configuration window
Enable
Active/Deactive Identity2
Fun
Enable/Disable Fun mode in special days
Format
The base for witch the Identity will be generated on the chat. The tokens you can use are:
- %s -> Will be replaced by the appropriate identity
- %z -> Will be replaced by the name of the current zone
- %l -> Will be replaced by the character level
- %g -> Will be replaced by the character guild
- %r -> Will be replaced by the realm name.
Any other character will be kept unchanged, for example the format:
[%s-%r]<%g>(%l) - %z
will look like this:
[Agaor-Nesingwary]<of The Queue>(100) - Nagrand

"Just call me Nox"
I'd like to push for this update, I am a fan of the way my chat looks now and find it extremely annoying for it to be messed up by this addon.
I completely understand the benifits for it and why people wanna use it.
If there would be a filter added I will definitly download it just to clear up my guild/raid chat.
This is a horrible addon. It gunks up my chat frame with useless crap.
I already use Prat and it already shows me the Main/Alt associations.
With other people using this addon i get long lines like this :
Please can you put in some way so that we can filter this addon out?
In reply to orionshocked:
You can't filter out the use of the addon from other people.
In reply to Lavindar:
I know, that's the problem!
This addon afflicts other with out recourse. It's a bad addon because there is no recourse. It is seriously making guild chat 100x harder to read with all the extra that people are putting in. Im half tempted to just start wholesale blocking people that use it. If i want to know someone's main char, I installed prat for this very reason. It is standard practice to put your main's name in the guild public note & that allows LibAlts (part of Prat) to link things up and for Prat to show it, nice and cleanly with out extra.
However i was thinking about this the other day and there may be a way to filter it out :: send the player's chat prefix over the addon channel, then on my side i can use blizzard's chat filter system to pull the prefix out.
In reply to orionshocked:
The point of this addon is so people can send their Main names so other people can see it without needing any other addon, and it will remain working like that in the future.
In reply to Lavindar:
I understand the point of your addon. Not to be rude, i already have the purpose of it covered by my own addons and do not need players to clutter up my own chat with what is effectively garbage.
I would be willing to even install your addon so that i can filter it out so that Prat can do this as is my preference.
It would not be difficult for you add in a Chat Message Broadcast to guild/party/raid the prefix text so that it can be filtered out on the receiving end.
In reply to orionshocked:
That is not a bad idea, and is something I could do in a future version, but I can't guarantee it will happens.
In reply to Lavindar:
Thank you, that's all i ask is your consideration.
this is from a clean install. and i'd tried again with doing the interface reset.

Have you tried to do a clean install?
I'm trying to use this on classic, and while the addon loads up and I can mess with the settings, when I actually type my mains name isn't showing.
I typed the channel name correctly, and enabled that channel in ID, but nadda
For those who may be interested, I'm using Identity-2 in Classic and it appears to be working just fine. You may have to check the "Load out of date addons" selection since the addon isn't toc'd for version 1.13.2.
I installed the addon but it wont show in my wow addon list when I start wow, while it shows in my switch addon list. I did a hard relog with wow. Any conflicts with other addons maybe?
Seems something has broken recently. With this addon loaded (and I tried this using ONLY this addon loaded to be sure) I can't send anything to the Emote channel. I can type for example: /e laughs at you. But when I press the enter key, it won't send. The text box just actually stays open and refuses to send.
It DOES however still allow me to send chat to SAY, GUILD, PARTY, etc.
what is the channel name for battlenet whispers?
my wife, my kid, and I all have the same bnet and it infuriates our friends to not know who they are talking to. this addon is perfect if we could get it to work with bnet whispers.

I know it has been a while, but next version Battle.net whispers will be now supported.
if you want to turn off the April Fools day fun, do a:
/ID nofun
Sorry to spoil it, but some guilds hate it and people also want Not to be kicked out of guilds because of an addon..
