[Mod Request] Hidden names

[InfinityProject]

For my Hunger games server you can't really hide from other players If they can see where you are. I'm asking if someone could make a mod where you can turn names on and off so you could go from seeing them to not seeing them.

+1!
This can't be done with the Lua API, but it's just removing something, so it should be easy.

Yeah, I did that by accident by trying to apply the 3D player patch lol. It's in content_cao.cpp, and look for m_textnode

what about for distance instead? so when you get closer you can see

yea but that wouldnt be good for people in the hunger games who have gone underground lets say only 10-15 blocks...all you have to do is walk near them and you see there name

if its for a game that depends on stealth then there should not be a name on characters at all.

if necessary make it so the admin can toggle the option on or off.
if that isn't possible then make it so you have to be 1 or 2 blocks from the character to see names.

i like that idea

I think you should be able to see the name only when you see the player (so you know who are you going to kill =P)

[Feature request] Hear distance for chat / Others nick view distance

Server has the "unlimited_player_transfer_distance" boolean setting, which defaults to being enabled. 
If you disable it, you will see players only from inside the regular active object range.

Hear distance in chat might be worked on in the future. Patches are welcome. 
It should probably work so that if you regularly talk, only players closer to something like 
"regular_chat_distance" will hear, and to make everybody hear, use /shout.
