hi, it seems to me that after the update all NPCs stopped taking DisplayName from the config and everyone is written as Scientists. Can u check it, please? Example, animals output correctly. Thanks a lot <3

okidokie ill have a look

i was just about to post something similar to this!

btw, ty Crow for this awesome plugin! simple but incredibly immersive for RPG servers (:

yeah it still works for the scarecrows just not for the regular scientist types currently debugging my own methods to see why FP made this scuffy move lol

All my BotRespawn bots show up with designated names. Huntsmen show as Huntsmen

Yeah, names of custom npc from npcspawn (events and BetterNpc) show correctly.

it is a rust feature they hardcoded the scientistnpc to have the "Scientist" name ,so every plugin naming their npc has to do some Harmony Patchwork

Sooo... can you do anything about this or is it too much work? :(

the npc names has to be done with the plugins creating their npc's . i can potentially add a function to rename any other npc without a custom name but thats not really the function of the plugin.

Other than displaying a hardcoded name purely inside this plugin is possible, then i need to filter out the npc names and hardcode it through the cfg file.

As I understand it, the names don't change only for standard NPCs, because Tunnel Dweller also doesn't take DisplayName from the config, and you can't replace all standard NPCs... at least for me it's not a solution, because their behavior is better than custom ones, in my opinion... You can do everything necessary so that it works as before and put the plugin on some forum for money, I'll buy it right away, I like how it's designed :)

yes so far scientist and the underwater and tunneldwellers are affcted by facepunch decission

I have been waiting for your update.

for creating the npc names as they used to ? thats for every plugin creating npc's to harmony patch it.

But if you want it just to visualise for the feed i can add it soon

I think that it will be very good for the tape, but if you are working on something global, then I am ready to wait :)

any news on this topic? we're tired of “Scientist” :D thanks a lot :)
