# TOG Tools — Lightweight Utility Toolkit for WoW Classic

TOG Tools is a small collection of quality-of-life utilities that don't need a full addon of their own. Each tool lives in its own tab inside a single tidy window — open with `/togt`. New tools will be added over time.

## Features

### Name Prefix

Automatically adds a nickname in front of your chat messages so guildmates know who is talking, even when your character name doesn't match the name everyone knows you by. Useful for shared accounts, alts, or anyone who goes by a different name in their community.

- Set any nickname you like — it will be inserted at the start of your message before it is sent
- Fully configurable format: choose between (Name):, [Name], Name —, or any pattern you want using a simple format string
- Live preview updates as you type so you always see exactly what your messages will look like
- Enable per channel: Guild, Officer, Party, Raid, Instance / Battleground, or a specific custom channel by name
- Option to skip messages that start with ! so addon commands like `!keys` or `!roll` are never prefixed
- Option to suppress the prefix automatically on characters where your nickname already matches your character's name
- Works on all supported WoW versions — Classic Era, TBC, Wrath, Cataclysm, Mists, and Retail

## Slash Commands

- `/togt` — open the main window
- `/togt np` — jump straight to the Name Prefix settings tab
- `/togt settings` — open the addon settings panel
- `/togt vc` — check addon versions across the guild (Classic only)

## Requirements

- Ace3 (AceAddon-3.0, AceDB-3.0, AceGUI-3.0, AceConsole-3.0) — auto-installed by CurseForge
- WoW Classic Era, TBC, Wrath, Cataclysm, Mists of Pandaria, or Retail — all versions supported
