Looking for an addon that adds "You have entered [Zone Name]" text to chat upon zone-in.

Twenty0zTsunami

I know as a matter of fact that there is (was) one floating around on ESOUI. I thought it would probably be the "zone name alert" but that's just an upgrade to the on-screen text-alerts.

It very well could be that this is what has become of the add-on I am looking for, but I am hoping not, as the chat update served a pretty specific purpose, which I would like to utilize again.

If anyone has a name for the addon, I'd be very grateful.

ZAM Stats might have been what you remember? No longer supported. I don't think it went to chat, though. I don't know of any current addons that do this.

I guess I have to ask why this information is useful?

The zone name is displayed on the loading screen when you enter it, and it's usually long enough to read it. Also the game displays the name of the sub-zone (ex. Reaper's March: Jodewood) is displayed somewhere. Or you can simply open the map and read the zone name there. I really see no point in such an addon.

Wykkyd's Toolbar will still show your zone location if enabled.

Not quite as in-your-face as requested, but it's an option.

You can also enable zone name in the AUI Minimap, I believe.

I would have done this a long time ago if I only we could use custom sound effects. Dark Souls font and audio when entering a major zone area? Yes please.

Im aware of this but there are certain circumstances where this simply isn't helpful. Specifically while hopping between zones to recruit.

It's simply much more helpful to be able to see if I have entered a new zone since receiving new texts in my chat.

But the good news is I found the addon thanks to the folks at ESOUI forums;

It's called "Now Talking" and if you spend any significant time recruiting for your/a guild, I would recommend it.

Because I am recruiting for a guild I created. Which means Im hopping between zones incessantly. Sometimes a zone fails to load and I'm back at the same wayshrine without really knowing that the load failed, other times I go afk and forget if/which zone I've gone to, and other times I just cant keep track of whether or not I'v been to alik'r in the last ten minutes. Having the little line of text int he chat that says "YOu are now in [Zone]" I found to be immensely helpful. especially when paired with an add-on for time-stamps.

Also it prevents me from replying to people after leaving a zone. sometimes I'm addressed and don't notice until I've left a zone, and might try to respond in /z without realizing the person I intend to respond to is not actually in the zone I'm in.

Like I said it's not something that's gonna blow anyone's mind, but for this particular application it is quite useful.

Thanks for the input here, but again, doesn't really help in my particular situation. See the reply above if you want to know the particulars about why I wanted it.

Since I turned on Zone chat a while back, I do find that it would be nice to just have a line in the chat box when the main zone changed (not subzones) so that I could tell whether the comment came from my current zone or a previous zone.

The main problem that I see with that is when the game notifies us that our zone changed. I have not really looked into this, but the one zone change event that I did notice a while back does not fire right away when entering a zone. So, for example, going to a wayshrine does not trigger the event. It is necessary to go to the wayshrine, and then move away from the wayshrine, and then the event triggers. Maybe there is another way, though. I didn't spend a lot of time on it.

The problem is having the notification in chat that I've entered a new sub-zone is not the issue. During these activities I seldom leave the wayshrines. but sometimes things happen and it turns out Im unsure if I'm in a new zone, or I forget which zones I've come from, and in both instances having the line of text telling me I've entered a new zone in chat is a simple surefire way to prevent myself from acting in error.

Thank you, I used to have this addon but then it got removed..When I go to a new zone and I see the chat..someone asking a question or something, I don't reply because I don't know if the question was from the old zone or new lol. Thanks again
