Incognito2

Install

Incognito2

Updated version of the popular World of Warcraft AddOn Incognito. I do not take any credit for creating this AddOn, but am simply extending its functionality and updating to be up-to-date with WoW's latest patch. The original AddOn's functionality remains intact for the most part; I have only made some modifications which I feel will improve its usability.

Original Developers

Summary

Incognito adds you name in front of your chat messages. Can be enabled for guild (and officer), party, raid, and chat channel messages.

Example [Guild][Pranavius]: Hello, world! becomes [Guild][Pranavius]: (Pran): Hello, world!

Usage

You can use the options window to modify all available options. Alternatively, you can utilize the slash commands /incognito or /inc to make quick changes.

Options Window

General Options

  • Enable: Enables AddOn functionality
  • Name: The name you want to appear in your chat messages
  • Hide Name for Matching Characters: When the current character's name is any of the ones listed, Incognito2 will not add your name to chat messages

Hide Name for Matching Characters is a new feature available in Incognito2

  • Character names should be entered separated by commas
  • By default, Incognito2 will not add your name to messages if it matches the current character's name

Chat Options

  • Guild: Adds your name to guild and officer chat messages (/g and /o)
  • Party: Adds your name to party chat messages (/p)
  • Raid: Adds your name to raid chat messages (/raid)
  • Instance: Adds your name to any instance chat messages (LFR, Battlegrounds, Arena, etc.)
    • Enabling this option should also add your name to party and raid chat messages
  • Channel: Custom channel to add your name when sending messages to
    • Names cannot be added to certain channels such as /s, /y, etc.
    • This will be updated to be more comprehensive later

There is also an option called Debug which enables debugging messages, though its usage is currently very minimal. No one should ever need to enable this at this point in time.

Slash Commands

  • /inc config: Opens the Options window
  • /inc enable: Enables or disables AddOn functionality
    • This is the same as clicking the Enable checkbox in the Options window
  • /inc name: Sets the name to add to chat messages
    • This is the same as entering text in the Name field in the Options window
  • /inc exclude: Adds a character name to not add your name to in chat messages

The /inc exclude command is new to Incognito2

  • This is the same as entering a name in the Hide Name for Matching Characters field in the Options window
