Nick Namer - Change your in-game name!

Current Latest Version: v1.2

I'm Not Dead!

Sorry about the possibility of me being dead, but I became way too busy irl to be able to maintain this plugin. I'm not shutting the project down or anything. I from now on will do whatever is in my powers to be able to at least maintain a stable plugin. BTW, thanks for 20,000 Downloads! :D

Tired of the same in-game name? Well Give yourself a brand spanking new Name! That's right son, a NEW NAME! Nick Namer currently has permissions support (SuperPerms by default...), TagAPI Support, and will default to OP if no permissions file is found.

In Depth Features (Will most likely answer any questions you have)

What this plugin does is allow players to change their display name, not their actual minecraft username. If you don't have TagApi it will only change your chat name and player tab list name. Now what this means is that the name over your head will not be changed with regular installation. IF you use a chat plugin such as Herochat or whatever chat plugins are out nowadays, make sure you change the chat configuration to show the display name instead of the player's actual minecraft username. If you want all Nick Namer has to offer and have installed TagAPI, then with the use of this API, the name above the player's head will be changed, along with their skin of the player's name. (E.g if I nicknamed myself 'Notch', the name above my head would change to 'Notch' and my skin would be changed to his too) I cannot change the fact that your skin changes with the nicknames, as mbaxter said in the description of his API, this is a minecraft client issue and cannot be changed. When you nickname yourself it will check if your name is blacklisted or not based on the config node 'Use Blacklist' and whether or not you have the permission to bypass the blacklist. If you try to nickname yourself a blacklisted word, the NickChangeEvent is cancelled.

Commands
  • /nnick <NickName> - change your name, even with Colors1 (Ex. /nnick &b[CoolGuy]&ckilljoy64)
  • /nnick <Player> <Nick> - changes the players Nick to the specified Nick. (Ex. /nick PWicks23 &bPWicks)
  • /realnick <Nick> - returns the players real name! (New and Improved!)
  • /nicknamer <Arg1> <Arg2>... - NickNamer Plugin commands like reload ect.

    i have two suggestions:

    1. it would be nice, if the nickname is shown on dynmap ( http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/dynmap )

    2. it would be nice, if the nickname is used by courier ( http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/courier )

    @Kitten_Tails: Go just open the Nick Names.yml in your plugins\nicknamer-folder & delete the part after the ":".

    @alexshots: Go "/nick Usernametochange Nickname" works, a change in Nick Names.yml, works, too.

    thx

    juila :)

    How do I remove my nickname?

  • Avatar of alexshots alexshots May 11, 2013 at 13:27 UTC - 0 likes

    only apply to online-users...offline users cannot be changed through command to change his nickname...i thought that is quite inconvenient.

    killjoy64, thanks for the update 1.2 so far it seems to be working fine. Only bug I see is the version for NickNamer still shows up as 0.9. Downloaded and loaded it twice with the same result. I do think it has been updated as /nick now works again.

    @Melonking: Go

    A good work around for this is to add a alias for the command in bukkit.yml which is in your minecraft server root.

    Just add the following lines to the end: aliases: nick: nnick

    Remember this is a yml file so don't use any tabs. Type <space><space>nick:<space>nnick

    For more information on bukkit aliases and bukkit.yml go here wiki.bukkit.org/Bukkit.yml#aliases

    I'm using tag api for another plugin so people can have colored nametags. Is it possible to disable Nicknamer using tagapi? I don't like the skins chaning.

    My friend told me to tell you 'major.minor version 51.0' on CB1.5.1_R0.1. He said you'd know what to do.

    I keep getting this annoying error with the latest release, every time someone joins my server.. Pastebin I checked and I only have two people with nicks, and they are both under 16 Characters long.
