When in a group, Change ID names to character names (Solved!)

Thee_Cheshire_Cat · December 2022

i'd like a way to change ID names currently shown in groups into the character names instead. Is there something that does this, please?

if your referring to the party menu, i use an addon to enhance that (dont remember if it also affects the normal group display)

the group display when your outside of a menu is likely being changed to @ names by another addon, because by default it shows character names (bandit ui or advanced ui for example i think both change the group window and usually display @ names)

I think it’s an Option.
But WHY? I like knowing who I’m playing with and most players have lots of characters.

I think can do that with pchat. In groups I have character name@account name I think, but it’s different for other channels.

Because i'm a role player, and i like to know the characters, not the players. You're right, most players have lots of characters. i like to know which character i'm dealing with.

i use pchat, maybe i have something checked that i shouldn't in there, will have to look at it again. It's driving me nuts lol

thanks all.

pChat got a settings menu for the name output of each chat channel, so you can configure this for zone, group, guild1, guild2, ..., whisper and so on.
It shouldbe somehwhere at the "chat channels" -> group submenu I think, and is a drop down box where you can select
character
@Account
@Account/character
character/@account

or similar
