Rejected ULX Setname : To change in-game nick by Admins/Mod

Hi,

So with this ULX, the nickname of a player on the server can be changed. This can be useful when someone with non english name joins the server.

Nah

 

ok so ur gonna get this
then what
lets say the guy has a chinese name
what are you gonna do, give him a new name by yourself?

 

Could be useful instead of kicking those people out.

I can see the potential, however, my concern is what name will we give them?

Not only that, is it a silent command (can't be seen by other users), or does it has a way of letting people know that this person's name has been changed?

 

All silent commands can be easily changed through ulx.



I’d let admins decide on a default name or “John Doe” or something like that.

 

Yeah, but what if there's multiple people who don't have 3 English letters/numbers min.?

Furthermore, the reason I'm asking whether it's silent or not is because of using this command during midround, which I think it should be visible to the entire server to know that this person's name has been changed so there won't be much confusion.

 

then again, not everybody reads chat, so there will definitely be a certain amount of confusion, no?

so then I'd ask, would this command be able to be restricted for use only in between rounds? or would you kick the player after name change mid round? latter sounds kind of dumb though because the player ends up being kicked anyways

 

I honestly thinks it's best to keep it the way it is; it's easy enough to follow our protocol against names at this point in time, and this would require a reworking to the protocol and a add a potential later of confusion to players it's used on and other players playing.

 

Wouldn't changing a name midround trigger a kick still

 

Well I cant view the source code, but I'm assuming it just sets their name for the current session, which means the player may not even notice, the admins have to pick a name for them, and when they rejoin they'd have their old name. The current system of enforcing a kick and direction discussion with the player will teach the players to change their name before joining, rather than training them their name will be set for them every time.

 

Everything mentioned above is correct. This is not very useful,
