self.object:get_luaentity() doesn't make much sense because self is already the luaentity. Thanks! I'll fix that. Also you don't need to set the position of your nametag object on_step, use object attachment . I did, in fact try this. It resulted in a weird glitch, where the entity's nametag would ...

that depends entirely what you're looking for; I don't particularly need an API, I just wanted to be able to walk around with a torch in my hand, so this was exactly what I was looking for :) Cheers Piezo, nice mod! (I also quite enjoy your enthusiastic way of "selling" the mods, ha ha) I...

You can see it through nodes? Yep. Sometimes, that's a good thing. So, you attach an entity to the player object and give this entity a nametag? Why don't you set the nametag directly of the player? Literally my previous reply in this thread. You could even set alpha. You could add alpha to the nam...

For those of you who are wondering, I have done some experimentation with unlimited_player_transfer_distance and player_transfer_distance on my server, and found them to be very unreliable (Often failing to limit the player's nametag view distance for no clear reason). Whether or not this is a bug i...

That's... what I said.

They solved the problem of names being visible everywhere, but created the problem of names not being visible through blocks

Pyrollo wrote:Hi Piezo_, your mod reminds me this one :

Entity based nametags

From a glance, it seems like that mod throws the good of the default nametags (lightweight, visible through blocks, colorable) out with the bad (visible from all over the map)

Hm, I see my nod needs your canLight detection oO.

I didn't really bother with the dropped item aspect, which I see you did manage to pull off pretty well.

Pyrollo wrote:weilded_light is much better as it offers a simple API making it possible to use illumination for any purpose.

Like setting overrides for ignoring items' light values, or emitting light for other reasons?

Actually you can make a nametag invisible just by setting alpha to 0. The nametag can be revealed by restoring alpha to 255. I used this technique to dynamically hide nametags on the JT2 server depending on whether players were wearing a Halloween costume. I still like the concept of this mod. Mayb...

Ladies and gentlemen. For years, we have suffered in the dark, when the tools of light lay in our very hands. Today, I offer salvation. Today... I offer... Illumination ! https://notabug.org/Piezo_/minetest-illumination/raw/master/screenshot.png Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a mod that shat...

What should I do at this point? Should I turn this into a "sneaking and colors mod", or just make another separate one?

Well, there goes most of my reason for making this mod. Why wasn't this anywhere on the wiki?

Ruggila wrote:/status also shows who's online. But you have to count :-)

But /players could technically have something like "/vanish" implimented, or even listing ranks/prefixes.
Also, who the hell is gonna know what "/status" does from a glance, honestly?

Hey, you! (Yes, you! I can see your nametag from all the way across the server!) Are you, a server admin, tired of players being given essentially endless-range Player-ESP by default? Are you looking for a mod that also Hides players' names when sneaking ? Then you need the Better Nametags Mod ! htt...

Ah. I was confused on that, because, in one of my own projects, I have speed in "coordinate per tick" units, which, at 40 ticks a second, means 1.0 is VERY fast.

Specifically, when an entity has, say, an X velocity of "1.0", how much does their position coordinate change on the X axis in one tick?

Because, clearly, from what I've seen, the player definitely isn't travelling at 10 m/s when they have a speed of 1.0

Do the villagers spawn naturally? If not, I recommend implementing this.

The download link seems to be dead. Screenshots, too.

Edit: never mind, wrong mod
