Chat--Hide Realm Name

[Worcester]

This is likely contained in another addon or maybe even a setting I can't seem to find. I do run Prat right now, btw, but I don't see this anywhere...

I don't want to see somebody's realm name in chat when I'm doing a random dungeon or raid. About the only time I care about realms is with Real ID chats, but having to see that someone is from Rivendare or Coilfang over and over in chat gets annoying and takes up useless space. Any thoughts about how to get rid of the names?

Thanks so much!

This is certainly doable. If you can't find something that does this I'll throw one together.

local hooks = {}
local function AddMessage(frame, message, ...)
    local info, name = message:match('|Hplayer(.-)|h%[(.-)%]|h')
    if(info) then
        message = message:gsub('|Hplayer:(.-)|h%[(.-)%]|h', string.format('|Hplayer:%s|h[%s]|h', info, name:gsub('%-[^|]+', '')))
    end
 
    return hooks[frame](frame, message, ...)
end
 
for index = 1, NUM_CHAT_WINDOWS do
    local frame = _G['ChatFrame' .. index]
    hooks[frame] = frame.AddMessage
    frame.AddMessage = AddMessage
end

Thanks very much for the help. This is a silly question, maybe, but where exactly should I add that Lua code? In Prat or someplace else? Sorry for my ignorance of such things.

Thanks again!

You can add it to a new addon if you want to, it doesnt have any depencies at all.

This should do it.

Thank you, gentlemen! I'll add this as soon as I get home. Your help is appreciated!

Sorry, I just found out this won't work with prat. Prat adds a ton of stuff to the player link and my pattern can't match it.

I'm working on a solution and should have it fixed later today. You can download it here when it's updated.
