I thought, that wouldn't happen because of name autocompletion but sometimes that doesn't work for some reason and some people don't use it.
I've added it to my todo list but probably I won't implement it soon.

nick.name= "man"

ManElevation wrote:do something like "name ~= nick.name then"
then put something like this at the top of the lua so we can edit the nick names

Code: Select all

nick.name= "man"

idk im a noob at lua :P

• Multiple names are possible, do ".chatbell name <nickname>".
• The bell rings on PMs if you are not the sender.
• Own /mes are ignored.

Had the same issue.

Change line 60 from:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_on_receiving_chat_message(function(omsg)

To:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_on_receiving_chat_messages(function(omsg)

Or install this and add it to depends.txt

EDIT: Oh and thanks DS-minetest for adding that feature, you do great work :)

own_names["<name>"] = not own_names["<name>"] or nil

Yeah that was the other thing I forgot to mention, as a compromise (Really, a pretty bad solution, but it works and is easy to do) I hard-coded each nickname to load in on startup since I doubt I'll need to add new ones any time soon. To do this, add this line of code (1 for each nickname) under line 57:

Code: Select all

own_names["<name>"] = not own_names["<name>"] or nil

Again, it's ugly, bypasses the command to add them in game entirely, and it would be better for the names to save to mod storage however in the meantime I'll use this.

own_names["<man>"] = not own_names["<man>"] or nil
