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 have questions, concerns, or just generally want to talk about the plugin, please do so here. Otherwise, general comments are welcome on the main page.
Recommend users update to 5.7.0 as I discovered some debugging lines that needed to be removed, and they happen to be really spammy.
The file is still awaiting approval. You either will have to wait for approval from the mods, or bug one on IRC.
The file is linked under Latest Version further up the page, again however it still needs approval. I can see the file and download it just fine, probably because I'm the author.
Got the notification about the new version being uploaded, but there's no link on this page or the files page...huh?
Here's the file.
Update pushed.
Permission nodes have changed. Please take a look at the github wiki page here. The config file has also been updated.
Alright, I have a conundrum. If anyone has any suggestions on how to handle name replacement filters for commands, let me know. Currently the plugin (5.6.0) filters by Max replaces + mode.
If anyone can think of a better way to handle DIsplayname replacements in commands, let me know.
5.6.0 will be out tonight sometime.
@SniperFodder
Damn. Never mind. Just realized spout hasn't had a chance to update yet.
@Trouvo
@vsams14 I'll push a build out tonight.
now its officially out
@SniperFodder
Maybe not, but there are dev builds, which many people will be running, as well as a 1.3.1 dev api - http://dl.bukkit.org/latest-dev/bukkit.jar
Cheers!
vsams14
Edit:
Re-read comments and saw that you already have the plugin built. Sorry :)
@Trouvo
They haven't pushed out an RB yet for it though, for bukkit. That's the difference.
1.3 is out
My release is ready. However, I'm debating on whether or not I should release it, or wait until 1.3 is out.
@Trouvo
Alright, here's the Down low:
I've finished doing my re-write. This is excellent. I even added in pagination for /displaylist while I was at it. However, the plugin still needs extensive testing and I need whoever added the french translation to translate a few more strings because I've added/removed/changed a bunch of strings.
If you want a beta copy of the plugin for playing around with, I can put one up. Otherwise it will be a couple of days until I get the update pushed out.
....nvm i derped
@Trouvo
Yea. Why I'm shoving it into a different plugin. Most people aren't going to find the feature useful.
@Herobrine
You need to have spout installed on the server and run spout as your client as well
@Fodder Oh...definitely not useful for us lol
Do you need to run spout to change the name above the head or do you just have to have it installed?
@Trouvo
An automatic Name Changer that changes a users name/skin on death; pulls from 3 lists, male/female first names, and surnames. Also probably needs unique names.
Ok understandable, might i inquire as to what the roleplaying feature is? as we do roleplaying on our server as well, and it may be helpful or advantageous depending upon the feature you speak of
@Trouvo
Heads up, this is taking longer than expected. Recently I was approached in adding a feature to DNC for Role Playing. The feature itself would not have fit in with DNC. So I decided to create a complimentary plugin to DNC. I realized I needed to shuffle and re-organize all the code for DNC to make this complimentary plugin work. So when I went to add in all the color code permissions, I just started hacking away at my current code base and now it's a mess.
So when will the next update come out again? No clue. Could be 3 or so more days, or it could be a week or two. I'm working on it right now so I should get a GIANT chunk of what I need done, done.
