[Inactive] DispNameChanger 3.0 - Change Names! + Spout [1000]

Inactive. Being replaced by:​

DispNameChanger 3.o - Change anybody's display name!​

Version: 3.0
DispNameChanger is a plugin that lets you easily change your display name or any other player's display name. I know there are other plugins that do this, but I think this is the only one (aside from /nick in essentials) that allows you to change YOUR name and ANYONE's name and permissions support. It now saves your name after you leave and loads it when you come back! *NEW* With Spout, this plugin also changes the name above the player's head and sends you a fancy notification!

Features:

• Change the display name of a specified player, including yourself
• Spout: If installed, changes player's names above heads
• Permissions Support (Default is Permissions 2.7.x or 3.x) if not found, uses SuperPerms
• PERSISTENCE! (Thanks to @Sammy for that one, he helped me a TON)
• Supports Colors! (Thanks to @itsatacoshop247)
• IMPORTANT: This plugin conflicts with Essentials, it doesn't work with this plugin. If you have essentials, you can just use /nick and change the nickname character to '' in the config, so it basically does the same thing :)

Commands:

The permissions default to the Permissions Plugin 2.7.x or 3.x
If you don't have it installed it uses SuperPerms(PermissionsBukkit, bPermissions)
Commands:

• /rename <player> <new> - Changes the specified player to the specified name
• /rename <player> - Resets the player's name
• /rename - Reset's your own name
• /checkname <player> - Checks the player's name (Not really working)

Share the love with @Daxiongmao87 and @Luke Zwekii , They earned it!

 

@Yoman987 Ok. I will see what I can do. So you said that the SimpleAdmin didn't have that problem? If not, I can definitely change a few things to make DispNameChanger work as well.

 

Works fine, with one exception: when joining, the normal name is displayed. Background: I have a little server but a friend does not want to join cause of his name, he does not want others to read it (I dunno why) he said this name was for single player only. I can drag him onto my server, but only, when every occurence of his name can be replaced by another name.

 

@Lazywolf
I will change the default join message to their display name with the next version. It shouldn't take too long, because I already did that in my other plugin SimpleAdmin.

 

No no, SimpleAlias, made by madcap.

@Yoman987
Ahh ok. my bad.

@Yoman987 Alright I can change it so that if there is a space in your name it doesn't load it. Regular names can't have spaces, so it should be fine

Great, thanks. Have an internet

 

Version 1.4 released
I made it so that when a player joins/leaves their name will not be saved if it has a space in it, and I tested this myself. If you run into anymore problems or this fix doesn't work for you, please let me know

Sorry about not fixing that in the regular 1.4, if you want this to be fixed you can download the dropbox link (or download this jar) and it will have the fix for the join message. It will be the same as the regular one, but instead of playername has joined the game it will be displayname has joined the game (the display name in the database, so the first time he logs in you will need to rename him, then it will show his altered name when he logs in). I won't release a new version with this in it, but if you click this link it will download the *fixed* 1.4

I just had to...

 

@iffa
Lol I did the same thing
My players lost their minds haha

 

Awesome thanks.

 

Hey, have a suggestion for 1.5!

How about a /checkname <dispname> dispname.admin.checkname

Command that allows you to find out the core account name of the dispname in the who list!!

Ack. I was trying to enable persistence, but couldn't get it to work.

So, I deleted the plugin and the database folder and reloaded.

Now, I put the latest plugin back, and reloaded, but it's not creating a database! Help!

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Please post errors, and /checkname is already there, i didn't publicize it because it isn't finished, but you can try it out anyways. dispnamechanger.check for /checkname.

 

Error was that SQL database wasn't found. Got past that. Got a database created and now I no longer get errors.

However, Peristence doesn't seem to be working.

What do you need to help debug that?

Ooh. Okay, getting this error when a player logs in.

Code:

Ahh, it is because the player isn't registered in the database, I fixed this in SimpleAdmin, but forgot about DispNameChanger, I will have fix out by tomorrow

 

Thanks, Awesome!

 

Any update?

 

@jythri sorry, in a minute

@jythri Alright, updated You can leave the database their, it works. All you need to do is swap out the .jar and the new one won't error on player join anymore :)

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Well, you fixed the error! Yay!

Bad news: Still no persistence. My name is reset on login.

However, the name in the database is now displayed as the join message.

Which I don't want. :/ I have another plug-in that suppresses admin join messages.

Thoughts?

 

@jythri You must have essentials or another conflicting plugin. If you have no plugins loaded, it works. My server works with this plugin and I don't have essentials. I used to, but I decided to stop using it because of the number of plugins that it conflicts with. If you can do without essentials, you can try CommandBook.

 

BUG REPORT:
Whenever I rename myself say... /rename Kainzo &9Awesomeguy
I relog and it comes back as [Msg]&9Awesomeguy
Instead of using &9 to use the blue color.

 

@Kainzo
What other plugins do you have installed?

 

Herochat & 40 others.

 

@Kainzo , Oh lol that could do it. It works with iChat, but I haven't tested it with Herochat. The &whatever works on vanilla, so I have no Idea why it wouldn't work for you.

 

@captainawesome7 Could you please add a /nick command to your plugin with its own permission node that allows anyone with the permission to change their own display name and no one elses?

Furthermore, a command (/identify or /id for short perhaps) that you can either use on someone's username or display name, and it simply displays that player's username and display name. So assuming ghost27's display name is Tom, using /id Tom or /id ghost27 would tell you 'User Name: ghost27, Display Name: Tom'

 

I already added a /checkname, but i forgot to put it in the OP. Its dispnamechanger.check or .checkname idk. I will update it tomorrow and add /selfname newdispname (lots of other plugins use /nick)

 

Oh, cool. I do have a couple more requests though, hopefully they're not too difficult.

Could you add a /namelist command that basically functions like most plugins /list except it'll prioritize display names over user names (perhaps prefixed with a tilde)?

So instead of
Online (2/20): QQCucumber, ghost27
it's
Online (2/20): QQCucumber, ~Tom

If you're feeling particularly generous, an option to have /namelist show for someone when they log in would be nice too, but this isn't as important.

Also, commands to delete display names, since I think if you rename someone back to their username it still counts as a display name. /delname and /selfdelname. Or perhaps this could just be what happens when you use /rename on a user without setting their new displayname, or using the /selfname without setting your new display name.

 

You can't delete somebody's display name. You can only set it to "", which would make it show up as null when you chat, depending on what chat plugin you have. If you didn't set a display name, your regular minecraft name IS your display name.

 

Well, by delete, I'm referring to 'unsetting' a display name.

 

@QQCucumber
Unsetting somebody's name doesnt make sense either. Try resetting. Anyways. Making a playerlist of displaynames should be as easy as making an arraylist of player names. I can start it later today.

 

Lol, yeah, resetting. I've been operating on very little sleep, not so good with words right now.
