Author Topic: Independent /Setname Command  (Read 614 times)

Not related to this request.

It was related to an old RP Chat mod.  (Link; rehosting since I don't even know where to find this.)

In this mod you can do the normal /setname command, and it will simulate your name as what you put it, but there are a lot of features woven in that are superfluous to what I intend to use with it.

First off, there are a number of problems:

  • It breaks with Slayer.
  • Using with Local Chat mods also breaks it.
  • Any other chat mod breaks it.

What I want removed is everything but:

  • The RTB Pref field for toggling the mod, though it would be nice if it could be renamed to "Allow Aliases".
  • The naming system as it exists now.
  • The system of preserving the first three or four letters of your real BL name, and putting it in clan tags (I don't remember which; perhaps add a pref to control how many are included.)
  • Announcement that says when someone changes their name.
  • /whois command already built in.

In other words, remove all the local area functions, all the emitters for showing someone has heard you, all the alternate chat functions, and the <namehere>"says," line.

Thank you.

It should come with a /checkName command that shows the player's real name, and if this is used as a disguise it could be admin only. There should also be a toggleable announcement, "TristanLuigi changed his name to TristanBomb."

I forgot those already existed in the mod.  Review the OP.


Due to the way chat is coded, you can't have more than one add-on modifying it.

I am saying this to replace the RP Chat that I currently have.

Never said anything about having both operate at once.

Yes, things break things, but local chat, RP chat and slayer worked in tandum with replacing names.  The specifications in the OP allow for the favorable features to work.  I was being specific for a reason.
