Identity by Kjallstrom (ultranurd@yahoo.com)

Guild: Mellonea

Server: Kirin Tor

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.

All options are configured on a per-character basis.

WARNING! Due to the name change, upgrading to version 2.1 from 2.0 will lose your saved settings. In WTF/Accounts/ACCOUNT/Server/Character/SavedVariables, rename Identity.lua to Identity-2.lua, for each of your characters. Apologies for picking a bad name in the first place!

WARNING! You must delete any old versions of Identity before getting the name-changed version. I'm getting reports that they conflict with eachother if both are enabled at the same time.

Slash Commands:

/id <command> [<options>] /identity <command> [<options>]

help

Displays this help text.

config

Prints the current Identity configuration. Default subcommand.

off

Turns Identity off, but all settings are preserved. No labels will be sent. Identity is turned on by default.

Turns Identity on, using the currently stored settings. Configured labels will be sent. Identity is turned on by default.

main [<name>]

Sets the main character's Identity. This is the name used for all enabled channels except Raid and Party. If no main name is specified, the name is cleared.

nick [<name>]

Sets the nickname Identity. This is the name used in Raid, Battleground, and Party, if enabled. If no nickname is specified, the name is cleared.

enable <channel> [...]

Enables Identity for the specified space-separated channels.

 Valid channel identifiers:
   guild, g
   officer, o
   raid, r
   party, p
   whisper, w, tell, t
   1-10

disable <channel> [...]

Disables Identity for the specified space-separated channels.

zone on|off

Sets whether zone information should be added to your Identity.

format [<format>]

Sets the string used to display your Identity. The default is [%s], where %s is replaced by the current name information. The default can be restored by specifying no format string. All format strings must contain %s, which will be replaced by your Identity. Recommended for advanced users only.

reset

Clears your character's Identity settings.

He told us (his guildmates) to expect it fixed in the next few weeks.

Great idea, but it uses up so much processor power that my game freezes for a full half second every time I use a channel while it's running. I had to uninstall it so that I wouldn't die due to my game freezing at the wrong time. If you can make it work without freezing the game, I'd be all over using it, because I love the concept.

Yinepuhotep, I know I'm coming to the game late, but do you have an itemlinking mod? I know this was a problem for me and some friends, where the game would lag as Fizzwidget's Linkerator tried to find what [Cantras] could be.

I've never encountered this problem Yinepuhotep. Is it possible you're encountering the same problem as Zondebok (multiple instances of Identity installed)?

Nope. This is the first time I'd heard of the addon, so it was my first attempt at installing it. Do you have a debug version? If so, I could try installing it and see what kind of trace it leaves.

No, I don't really have any kind of debug functionality. As far as I know, all it does it hook SendChatMessage and prepend the text, depending on your options. Does it cause a problem if you try to chat in a channel for which it is disabled?

Can you search your AddOns directory for "SendChatMessage = " to see what other mod might be hooking the function?

The other problem is that you will possibly have both mods installed, which causes an "Out of Stack Space" error every time you try to chat....

Never thought to test this mod with the old one installed. I'll make it clearer that you need to make sure the old one is uninstalled before proceeding.

This update properly renames the mod to Identity-2. This is to resolve a name conflict that was occurring with certain updaters, with Nox's old Identity mod.

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.

This was just a basic update for the TOC; the mod has been tested and confirmed to work in 3.0. I'm starting to work on the big changes I want to do, to make it more flexible and easier to use, while still keeping it simple.

Incorporated many of these modifications into the original Identity mod.

I prefer the options on this one over the original Identity, and this one still works in 2.4
