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

I'm a bit swamped at the moment, but I will be updated to 5.x shortly and I'll verify that everything's happy before bumping up the TOC.
Can you search your AddOns directory for "SendChatMessage = " to see what other mod might be hooking the function?
Because of the name change, you'll lose your SavedVariables, unless you rename Identity.lua to Identity-2.lua in each character's SavedVariables folder.
Please make it so the location will work without showing names or nicknames. Also please add in shorter names for the cities it shows such as IF, SW, Darn, Shatt.. etc
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback Tolerant. Right now, the location string comes straight from the Blizzard UI. I'll take a look if there's a common abbreviation library out there, if not I suppose I could add a quickie hash table for that. I agree that making the location display orthogonal to nickname display makes sense.
Planning on adding support for the new options UI API in the next version.
I prefer the options on this one over the original Identity, and this one still works in 2.4
Incorporated many of these modifications into the original Identity mod.

I have no plans to develop a UI for this mod; since its functionality is relatively simple, I believe the slash command interface is more than sufficient.
