Different enable features
 

I think it would be useful if NPC nicknames and player nicknames could be hidden/shown seperately, using different enable effects (I.E enable features).


When I use something as such:

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerchats) {

  if (strequals(#c,/nonicks)) {

    setplayerprop #c,;

    enablefeatures allfeatures-(0x200);

}

---

When I say /nonicks, not only do the player nicks dissapear, but so do the NPC nicks. This can be rather annoying when trying to differentiate an NPC character from a player, and can be annoying while doing quests which require visiting these NPC characters.

Why walk around with disabled nicks? Well, nicknames cause major lag. The difference between walking through a level with 50 people, showing nicknames, to walking through a level with 50 people, and not showing nicknames is huge, lag wise. Most of the time while on client on NP, I disable nicknames via the script as shown above, but the down side is that NPC characters nicks also dissapear.

Would be nice if you could enable/disable them seperately.

Well, that's just a result of bad scripting.

Forgot what server I saw it on. I think it's like that on NP also, not sure, I've never looked into it.


EDIT: Ah, it was on NP. Anyways, I corrected the error (the mouse over NPC character = shows star)

I guess you could always script the display of account names/nicknames only when it's a real player ID.

Wan't to see something cool?

I suggested the same thing, but he put it off.

Anyway, this can easily be done by rescripting the nickname display.

A lot of the things suggested can be bypassed by rescripting a system, but different enable effects for players and NPC characters would be much easier :/

Use a mouseover command to show peoples nickname. I think that would be better.

Maloria already has a system as such.
