Postbear (Addon Communication Inspector)

Postbear is a utility addon for developers and power users who want visibility into addon communication. It captures incoming and outgoing addon messages so you can inspect payloads, understand protocol formats, and troubleshoot integration issues between addons.

What You Can Do

• Capture and view addon traffic
• Inspect message details: time, direction, sender/target, prefix, and channel
• Decode Base64/Deflate payloads and view raw/hex data
• Edit message content and resend for testing
• Import/export captured traffic for sharing or offline analysis
• Browse prefix mappings to identify which addon owns a prefix
• Minimap toggle and settings panel for convenience

Typical Use Cases

• Debugging addon sync issues in a party/raid
• Reverse-engineering or documenting addon message formats
• Validating changes to AceComm or custom protocol implementations
• Replaying and comparing message payloads between versions

Notes

• This is a developer-focused tool; it does not modify or automate gameplay.
• Designed for Retail; compatible with common addon messaging libraries.
