DispNameChanger
About
DispNameChanger is a plugin that lets you easily change your display name or any other player's display name. In the current context of Bukkit, that means the username that is displayed on death, when you talk, etc etc etc. Optionally, if Spout* or TagAPI**
is installed on the server, this plugin will change the display name above a users head.
*
Do note that the Spout Client, SpoutCraft, is required to see this change.
**
TagAPI has some restrictions in how it works in changing the display name. Please see the TagAPI page for limitations.

If you would like support for another plugin, or a feature suggestion, also please open up a ticket. I can not properly support everyone in the comments section.

@lawliet555
Lol I saw. I had to google around for a video on it. We'll see if Bukkit can do my work for me. XD If not I'll patch it.
It's sort of a colour. It is the text the is flipping between the weird symbols in the credits. Would be epic to have a name with those :)
@lawliet555
Hrm. I'm assuming it's a new color code that was added to the game?
I'll look around at trying to implement a fix for it, but I'm currently using bukkit's own API for ColorCode Support. It's quiet possible that Bukkit will add support itself for that code.
Is it possible to get support for the &k colour. It is the one you see in the credits after entering the end portal. If you need a refrence http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/signcolours/ has implemented it.
Thx :)
@SniperFodder
Okay
@Wilko343
Hrm, Not on my end. I can only change the Display Name. It is up to chat plugins themselves to detect a changed display name and use it. I would file a ticket on that author's plugin asking him to do such a thing.
@SniperFodder I actually mean chatnames. Like if I rename myself to Wilko, when I talk it's still Wilko343. Is that possible to fix?
@Wilko343
What support are you asking for? If you are asking for permissions support, I will only support SuperPerms. It is up to your permissions plugin to support super perms.
If you are asking for some other type of support, consider opening a ticket.
Could you support ChatManager that comes with PermissionsEX?
@IBelisarius
I have been waiting on a stable build of Spout to ensure Compatibility. I'll probably do some checking tonight and release an update if there is a problem.
If this problem persists, consider opening a ticket.
So I have both Spoutcraft and this working together right now but when I change the names of people it doesn't change the nameplate. I probably have to put the permission nodes somewhere?
@BioRage
Hrm, That'd definatly have to be a spout required feature. I can think on adding it, but that almost seems to exceed the scope of this plugin. That might be a feature for a different plugin.
@SniperFodder
Can you add visbility toggle for seeing name's?
For instance, you run into SniperFodder, but you can't see his name unless he greets you or types something out.
Cheers.
@SmashboxGaming
I've tried it with that build, and the latest snapshot and it seems to be loading just fine.
Have you tried loading it without any other plugins? It's possible one of them doesn't like DNC.
@SniperFodder
No Spout. Bukkit 1556 No errors in logs. Tried DNC 4.0, 4.1, 4.2
@SmashboxGaming
What do your logs say, and what Version of Bukkit/DNC/Spout are you using?
Hrm, plugin in.. however it won't show up on my plugin list. Even after a reload/restart. Therefor I cannot use it as it is not recognized.
@tjreid99
Please try temporarily removing spout essentials. If spout essentials is the cause, try one of the alternate command names. i.e. /newname
@SniperFodder
They don't even show the command being given.. :/ there's no errors or anything
