Chamberlain - Room Names for Housing

Chamberlain lets you name the rooms in your player house. When you walk into one, a gold banner shows the room's name, then fades out when you leave. The name comes from the manor officer who announced guests as they entered each room.

It also lets you add description to a room and let a famous NPC be talking head emoting when the description is shown, or even yourself if you are in the party!

To create a room, stand in one corner and click Mark A, walk to the opposite corner and click Mark B, then click Create Zone and type a name. Rooms can overlap, for example: if you put a walk-in closet inside your bedroom, the smaller one wins while you're standing in it.

There's also a floor plan window that draws all your rooms to scale, each in its own color, with a dot showing where you currently are. The A and B marks show up on it while you're creating a room, which helps with lining up rectangles. Hover a room to see its name and size if the label doesn't fit and also use this as minimap to see where your party members are in your house!.

Sharing

If you're in a group with other Chamberlain users, you can send them your layout or request theirs, so a house only has to be mapped once. Every incoming request shows a consent dialog before anything is sent, and you can block players or houses that keep asking. Layouts you've received are listed separately from your own rooms and can be removed whenever. Sharing can also be turned off completely in the settings, and pressing the Share My Rooms button will send your houses floor plan to everyone in the group.

Good to know

• The editing tools only show up in your own house. Ownership comes from the server, not your character name, so your alts can edit too.
• If you own a house on both factions, they're tracked separately.
• Zones are 2D, since the game doesn't expose elevation. Rooms directly on top of each other on different floors can't (yet 😉) be told apart,

Shortlist of this things features

• Name rooms via coordinates via main HUD window
• Banner shows the room name on entry and fades on exit
• Floor plan window, rooms drawn appear here as minimap
• Speaking head, aka. as Yapper, can emote be shown to be speaking out your rooms description.
• Show your position and party members position in the floor plan window
• Edit rooms on the floor plan minimap: move, resize, rename, recolor
• Track how long you hang out in any of your rooms
• Optional entry sound when you enter a room, (map ping)
• Minimap button
• Share layouts with your group, party or raid via them having the addon
• Share layouts manually by exporting your rooms as text, then share and others can import it and see room names when they visit you
• If you dont want someone to request your layout, you can block them after one request
• Slash commands (/chamberlain, /rooms)
