With pChat you can configure custom guild tags for the chat... so instead of
[Developers of mighty Addons] Sariash: Hello Guild

You can configure it to use anything as tag, for example just "Devs", and the chat would look like...
[Devs] Sariash: Hello Guild

I liked that feature, but I like character names more

After reviewing pChat there's not much I can do, sadly. pChat rewrites the chat lines, and I don't see a method of getting called by pChat to rewrite chat lines it is creating. I have, however, modified this add-on so that it should disengage pChat if both are loaded, this will at least give people the opportunity to check it out without necessarily removing pChat first.

I've updated this chat mod to include timestamps.

I also added support to strip colors from text, but the feature is disabled by default. I don't mind colors, but the code is there and I suspect there are people that hate rainbow text.

Next I'll update it to scrub unnecessary Text ("says" "yells" "zone" etc.) I didn't bother with this version (v1.2) because I really wanted something that will support all client languages (and not just english.)

I also noticed that pChat has a Settings UI for configuring colors. I instead rely on Social settings already built into ESO for this. The only caveat is the color used for the timestamp, I've hardcoded this to a dullish gray. Ideally I would prefer to utilize ESO settings, string tables, etc. If I bother creating a UI to edit colors it will be for those colors that ESO doesn't already support.

At some point I'll figure out how to store/reload savedvars and also create a basic settings UI so that unnecessary text and color stripping can be toggled by users.

I'm not sure what else pChat does that I've overlooked. If you let me know I'll work it in. My only goal this morning was to create an add-on that displayed character names..

Enjoy!

A fix would be really great. I had no chance to test your addon yet (still at work), but I'm using pChat too and would love to get rid of accountnames in guild chat.

These two Add-Ons are not compatible with one another, and currently 'pChat' does not appear to replace account names with Character Names. Chances are good that pChat is loading last and thus replacing this Add-On's behavior.

I'll see what I can do to fix it and update later today.

Thanks

I see it in game, I don't see character names. I only see account names in /g2. (I can't tell you about G1, because i am the only player in that guild so chats a little empty).

I do use 'pChat' if that has anything to do with it.
