Shapenames in v11 = no go?

[Heph]

It seems that there's a bug that no longer shows Shapenames, like the name above the players head.

Weird. It's hard to tell people apart, now.

that sounds problematic. If this is true then v12 will come in about three days :D

Perhaps you're just running some Add-On that calls %player.setShapeName(), which is no longer allowed.

Oh, haha.

Nevermind.

Yeah, people thought it was funny to "hack" the game by making stuffty impersonation scripts and the like.  And so, Badspot locks us out of another piece of functionality.  This is why we can't have nice things.

This sucks for GreekBots. So basically, bot names are impossible.

forget my life. And forget Zoneark.

What happens to naming bots now? D:

Ky did this once. It got annoying when everyone would change their name to one person in the server and dress like them.

[Godik7]

Oh man you gotta be kidding me. Because the impersonations I cant have my godikbot anymore D: I spent forever learning Torque script too. This explains why everyone in my server doesn't have names. Thanks a lot Zoneark. :\

etc: GreekBots.

We're going to work around it, but still. It's going to be a bit less good.

Maybe multiple bots / revamped code / new functions will cheer you up.

[Destiny/Zack0Wack0]

Badspot should of made it so you can't set it to names of already existing players, rather then not set them at all. :(

[laremere]

That wouldn't have helped any.

Like Trader said, this is why we can't have nice things.

[Trader]

This particular reply was made regarding the prevention of brick saving on servers, but it could just as well be for anything stupid modders do.

This has been made impossible by design.  I am prepared to update the game to defeat any efforts to make something like this.  Go take your totalitarian power mongering to some other game.

I was just on a server a few hours ago, and there were ShapeNames
