Hello, I am here today to release a modified name overhead script, initially created by @MrDaGree, you can find the initial release here: [Release] Changed Player Name Tags & Distance Names and yes, I did get permission from him to release this.
So, you may be asking what is changed in the release. Well, first I have changed the overall look of the tag. Adding on to this when people talk it displays under their head “Talking…”, you can find screenshots below.
Download
The latest stable download can be found on GitHub.
You can also browse different branches on the repo which may include changes that have not been pushed to production – likely buggy and haven’t been tested thoroughly.
Installation
Navigate to your servers ‘resources’ folder, then drag the hlabels folders from the rar into your ‘resources’ folder.
Go to your ‘server.cfg’ and add under your resources: ‘start hlabels’.
Commands which can be found in s_hlabel.lua in the EssentialMode version, these commands are also permission based. In the non-EssentialMode version they can be found in the c_hlabel.lua. These commands are:
/hlrange c - This sets the range of the headlabels to 15
/hlrange m - This sets the range of the headlabels to 200
/hlrange f - This sets the range of the headlabels so you can see every player.
/hl on - This turns headlabels on for yourself.
/hl off - This turns headlabels off for yourself.
In future I will probably add commands for setting other player’s head label range.
These commands require the command.hlrange ace allowed for a client to use it apart from /hl on and /hl off.
Displays when players are talking.
Scale of the headlabels stay the same regardless of range.
I hope you guys enjoy this script and suggestions are always welcomed. Any questions just reply to this topic.
I have tried doing this in the past but had no luck but if somebody with a little more experience wants to contribute to this then that would be the only way.
idk, just seems better with permission rather than anyone using it?
EDIT: Also, wouldn’t this be classed as a re-release? As all you basically did was add “Talking…” under the players name? I mean, I wouldn’t call it a whole new resource just for that? Just a thought. It’s a good idea though.
