[Feature Request] Staff tags visible on player nametag

As the title says, I think it would be helpful if our staff tags were visible on the nametag that appears above our heads so that players can tell that we are staff at a glance when we suddenly teleport into their base while working on a case or something!
If it's not already possible to do with any of our existing plugins then this one should do the trick for the 1.7 and 1.8 servers:
1.8 NameTags [Integrated API] | SpigotMC - High Performance Minecraft

 

I also found this plugin NametagEdit - Bukkit which does the same thing, but I didn't look too much into either of them so idk which would be the optimal one for us.

 

Also a good idea.

 

It doesn't explain it in the text on the page, but the video towards the end shows the config files that get generated after first run with it installed which lets you specify a custom permission and cosponsoring prefix, then any user who is a member of a group that has that custom permission string should get the prefix automatically when they log in.

 

I think it would help the players. Because multiple times they have tried to kill me when i go to sort there grief out...

 

Moved to suggestions.

 

Would it be possible to also add donator ranks and titles?

 

I personally am against that idea which is why I originally posted this in the staff only section, I think only staff should have a prefix visible in their nametag and on the tabkey playerlist so that if a player sees someone with a visible prefix then they instantly know it's a staff member before even having to read the actual rank, I think if every player had a visible on-time prefix in their nametag and on the tabkey list then it would just look messy, also by my understanding of the way the ontime titles work, it would require additional effort setup vs just having it for staff via the existing permission groups.

I do think that we could maybe have the donor +'s in the nametag as a suffix though as that would be easy to implement.

 

Let's try out the different combos. I'll throw this on Skyblock and we can test it out today with all the different settings then decide =)

 

Id suggest adding shortened versions of the titles because for example my name would be something like: Moderator - MaelstromPhoenix which is pretty long. Id prefer something like Mod - MaelstromPhoenix so it doesn't cover the entire screen.

 

Which one did you try, the first link or the 2nd one?

 

@chaosblad3 This is now on the Skyblock server. Mind testing and playing with it? Contact me on Slack

 

How much space does it take above the player? And are they Shortened Tags?

 

Someone needs to create the tags and test them out.
