Player Name Scramble
Player Name Scramble
Years ago I thought it would be nice to add an option to remove offensive player names at a local level. We have a silence feature, but silencing someone doesn't prevent them from renaming to something horrible you're forced to look at. I'm a big fan of ENABLE_CHAT 0, which I use constantly. I would love a feature that also scrambles player names.

Re: Player Name Scramble
If you're not playing a game where it's critical to know names you could always do FADEOUT_NAME_DELAY 0.
Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but hey, it works.

Re: Player Name Scramble
Just make an everytime.cfg with everything that you consider bad, containing "rename badname goodname"
Easy as that.

- You'd have to change this to .cfg for it to work, it's just an example anyway.

Good idea. I usually have that set to -1. Was hoping for a function with a little more nuance.breeze wrote:FADEOUT_NAME_DELAY 0
That would be great for a server, but what I am imagining is a client-side feature.ConVicT wrote:everytime.cfg

I read this as played name scrabble and instantly became disappointed when I read the thread.

I took a guess on 14 across, mind my lack of paint skills

Re: Player Name Scramble
lol SIne, that's more of what I came in here expecting the first time. Maybe this will help with your actual reason for making this thread.

Well done, Magi. It was easy, right?
Thanks Light. Maybe this will be a feature one day.

I had to dig for a couple of them, but mainly to make sure I spelled their names right, a couple people were requesting more because I spoiled it for them lolsinewav wrote:Well done, Magi. It was easy, right?
