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.

Alrighty then. Just got notified today that the Project was set to abandoned automatically by the system. If someone wants to continue development on this plugin, go for it.
I just did some quick searching and discovered that Spigot is the Bukkit Replacement. Discovering this I'll see about getting this up to date with the new Minecraft API. Man it's been such a long time since I've touched this code. I think I'll need to re-write a chunk of it.
@Beaupedia
Dear Beaupedia,
This has been broken since before BukkitCraft had a chunk of it's code DCMA'd. If you'd like to file a bug report I can try and look at it later, but I believe several components that this plugin rely upon are no longer being updated; hence I'm not sure how much I'll be able to fix.
SniperFodder
No longer works. Broken as of 1.10.

@AlizWeat
Also for your convenience, I've added a "Source Code" link under latest version above.
@AlizWeat
Source what? As in Source Code? If you click the repository link at the top of the page it'll show you the external Repository address.
But for your convenience...

Source??
@PLANETXRMG
Ignore my last reply. I just saw the ticket on Github.
@PLANETXRMG
HOw so? Any errors? All of them? Or just Some of them?
Just letting you know that permissions nodes aren't registering.
@JakePheonix
Possible? Yes. Would I do it? No. I personally am only comfortable within the Bukkit and Spout api. I have 0 experience with the Forge API, and I wouldn't know where to begin to do that kind of inter-operation between DNC and a client side plugin.
Realize that I basically took over maintenance of this plugin. Most of the features I've added were tweaks using the Bukkit API, or fixing issues with Spout Integration while spout plugin still existed.
Would it be at all possible to create a client-side mod to work with this plugin, so that anyone using that mod would be able to display an altered nickname above their head without effecting their skin? (Essentially what Spout used to do, but as a forge mod compatible with other forge mods for an MCPC+/Cauldron server)
@thernztrom
No idea. I haven't tested/updated this in awhile. It might, it might not. The current build is the last build to support SpoutCraft which is no longer being updated, and hasn't been for about 2 major versions or so.
I really need to recompile against the latest Bukkit release build.
@SniperFodder
This works on 1.7.2? Will it be updated to support future bukkit builds? :)
no
NOU
@MrMe1003
Wow, Okay. That is not supposed to happen. At all.
I need a Pastebin of your server log, all the loaded plugins, what versions of DNC, Essentials, and Bukkit you are running, and possibly the plugin.yml from the DNC JAR if at all possible. Feel free to either post it here, or Drop it into a new ticket on GitHub: https://github.com/SniperFodder/DispNameChanger/issues?state=open
@SniperFodder
Correct.
@MrMe1003
So "/whois" pulls up dnc "/displaylist" content, and "/ewhois" pulls up essentials display content?
@SniperFodder
Ah... I guess I'm not totaly savvy on Essentials commands. My bad. ;
@MrMe1003
What happens when you use the command "/ewhois" instead?
