[INACTIVE][CHAT] Basic Name Changer [677]

NameChanger - Op controlled names.
Version: v1.0.1-R2

Like this plugin? Contribute to the developers

Permissions are NOT integrated.

This is a very basic plugin, implementing CraftBukkit's use of each players' Display Name. (Player.setDisplayName() + Player.getDisplayName())
Administrators are allowed to use /setnick and /nick.
All player custom names are saved in plugins/NameChanger/names.db - if this does not exist, it will automatically be created. On a proper server stop or plugin reload, it will save names, after every player name change, it'll save.

Command Usage:
/setnick Player_Name [New_Player_Name] (/nick works too. This may conflict with other plugin(s).)
Use only one parameter to reset the players' name.

e.g. /setnick gnftoxic Overlord
This will set my in-game chat name to "Overlord"

/setnick gnftoxic
This would set my name back to "gnftoxic"

i get it, but if i change a name, do i have to change the persons permissions name?

 

I have not tested this with Permissions, you should not have to though. I believe Permissions uses the regular player name, this only changes the display name.

 

I love you man.

 

This is fantastic and exactly what I've been searching for to take care of a few oddballs, thanks!

 

Please test your plugin with the latest Recommended Build (493) and update your release post accordingly as it is now a requirement of the submissions process, since the newest RB contains breakages.

 

Apologies, deleted my posts as I thought it said 492, but retested on 493, works perfectly.

 

You may not be able to answer this, but will this mean that when I use commands from other plugins I can use these nicks? Or do I still have to use player names? For instance, Essentials /give command

 

I am not 100% sure, but I do believe it is your minecraft username, not the display name.

 

The nicknames seem to be resetting when someone dies on my server. I'm using server version 493, HeroChat v4.3.2, and version 1.0 of Basic Name Changer.

 

This is a bug in Bukkit, and has been reported. I'll have a work around later today.

 

Does this only change the chat display name?
Or can it be used for commands too?

One of the players on my server has a long name and wishes to shorten it;
Could they then use that nickname for commands?
Example - /give 5 64 Nickname

 

This would be really useful if it could be integrated into HeroChat... maybe i'll see if they can implement it

 

You cannot use this for commands, sorry.

This bug seems to have been fixed by build #556.

I'll take a look at HeroChat, never heard of it before, so... yeah lol

1.0.1 has been released.

 

Ah, yeah. I think the problem is running into the fact that Herochat filters the output, and puts in the colored prefixes/suffixes, and the player's name. I'm assuming that when your plugin is 'changing' the display name, HeroChat is just overwriting the changes in display.
No worries

 

Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to change the name above the player?

 

It is not, and furthermore they'd lose their skin if you could.

@gnftoxic, I have a request to make. Are you able to make this plugin CraftIRC compatible? By which I mean, it'll send the player's display name rather than their player name to the IRC channel?

 

I was actually going to experiment with CraftIRC today, after setting up my IRC network. I'll look at it. Thanks.

 

Any news?

 

I was reinstalling my OSes - sorry. I thought about it, and if I'm not mistaken, the author of CraftIRC would have to change from Player.getName() to Player.getDisplayName().

 

Hmm.. I know it's asking a lot, but I'm pretty sure it's open source, maybe you could fork it and make that change for me? I only ask because I'm pretty sure you'd use it too.

Alternatively, I think what HeroChat does is it has you disable the events that have CraftIRC send messages back and HeroChat instead does it. So your name changer mod could do that.

 

The only bug with this plugin is if I do the command,

Code:

/me say's hi

It prints out

instead of

 

I installed CraftIRC, so i'll experiment with it when I can.

This only uses display names - this would be a CraftBukkit bug. Either you can report it, or I will.

 

Love this plugin. Breaks on latest RB however.

it doesnt come up with a error but when I try to use /setnick or any commands it just showsup again in white letters on the server

 

Just a heads up from CB 617

Code:

13:17:28 [SEVERE] Nag author: '<NoAuthorGiven>' of 'NameChanger' about the following: onPlayerJoin has been replaced with a new signature, (PlayerJoinEvent)

Which means it will probably break in the near future when they remove the depreciated function.

 

This has been updated to work with the new standards of #617, first post link updated.

 

Thank you for your work
