Author Topic: Shapenames in v11 = no go?  (Read 3770 times)

Hm, didn't even think of that, but that's a much better idea.
Anything as long as people who aren't going to abuse the feature have something.

Just replace text containing URLs?

Oh darn, komp has no idea what he's talking about inorite?

/sarcasm

Obviously komp was being sarcastic.

What if we display a small web page instead of someone's name. Then you can embed all your favorite animated gifs and flash animations and have them endlessly looping above your head. Plus you can use the zoom feature in the web browser to make it bigger.

Even if it was a 2-line modification with the same font and color, with the top line larger size for the name and the bottom line smaller size for the description, that'd be fine.  It'd be a nice compromise at least.

I just realized, Trader's avatar is just like what I think of v11, just starting with the shock, and working backwards.

Well if we can no longer change the .shapename is it the type of thing where Badspot could make like a teamDM type of default mod for minigame options. Because that would be the only reason I see now for changing names and stuff.

I think we can still change the color.

Actually, the first face in that avatar is the smile. :cookieMonster:

Meh.  What we really need is for the shape names to have multiline support with formatting.  The first line would be reserved exclusively for the real name, the second line could be whatever else, and you could format it like normal with multiple colors, fonts, font sizes, etc.  That'd be kickass.

This. So very much this.

I'm not much of a scripter so I might be getting this wrong but if people cannot modify names to add things such as a title next to a name, this can be very hard to identify people to things such as if someone wants to make a Team Deathmatch Minigame or some type or RPG involving jobs.

I suppose I'm requesting that some sort of feature like this will be created if it is no longer possible to do so.

Yeah, people thought it was funny to "hack" the game by making stuffty impersonation scripts and the like.
I am guilty of that.

It started with Hephaestus and a link.

This would be pretty neat actually
