NPC Name tag not appearing

[Elements-]

NPC nametag doesnt appear in 1.8

[mcmonkey4eva]

Like, the visible name hovering over the NPC's head? On player NPCs, or mob NPCs, or both?

[Blouko]

He means that in 1.8, the nametag only appears when looking at them (or being close) but in servers like Mineplex, you still see them from far :/

[mcmonkey4eva]

That doesn't answer either of my questions.

[Elements-]

When you are not directly looking at the villager the nametag does not appear (where on 1.7 you would not need to look directly at the villager)

[fullwall]

Does /npc name fix the problem?

[Elements-]

No. That only seems to be forcing the NT for 1.7 clients. 1.8 clients still cant see it

[Elements-]

I know this is a limit to the 1.8 client, however, holograms seem to still work. So you could make a holo above the NPC's head

[Blouko]

Yep, Elements is Right! Holograms!

[mcmonkey4eva]

@fullwall - any ideas on this?

[Elements-]

This is still an issue.

I'll look into it on Thursday.

[qqaisarr]

That's what I did. Holograms. I made his name '&a' which appears as a space, then added a hologram above the NPC. It looks cool.

PROTIP: You can use '/speed 0.1' to align yourself.

[Elements-]

Sure that works, but this is a bug report to have the feature integrated into Citizens.

[mcmonkey4eva]

I discussed this with fullwall on IRC, and it's looking like it might not be possible until the full Spigot 1.8 release, due to differences in the internal code/protocol/etc. stuff.

[qqaisarr]

Oh. Get Citizens from Jenkins. It might help.

[mcmonkey4eva]

@fullwall - So, with full 1.8, hows this looking?

[Elements-]

Its a 1.8 client issue - not rendering in the nametag unless you are looking directly at it.

[Elements-]

But it can be solved using a hologram.

[Blouko]

Still not working with full 1.8? Or this got fixed?

[Elements-]

Not as far as I know.

[fullwall]

Sorry, this got lost. I'll look into it again...

[fullwall]

I'll have to use a hologram (1.8 removed this option), but I'm not sure about whether to do that.

[Elements-]

Like how to do it? Its an invisible mob

I saw on wynncraft that npcs had nameplates. And even nameplates below their nameplate.

Any way to get these things implemented? :P

[Elements-]

@Legendaryx Sounds like scoreboard stuff.

[FusionDeck]

@fullwall Possibly add in a soft dependency for Holographic Displays?

[madtomic]

If you added hologram. Wouldn't it be two names ?

[mcmonkey4eva]

@madtomic not if you mounted the hologram onto the NPC

[madtomic]

I will try that. Thanks

[madtomic]

How to mount the hologram onto the NPC?

[mcmonkey4eva]

Assssskkkk the developers of the hologram plugin

[madtomic]

Going back to 1.7.10

1.8.x sucks.

[Morphan1]

@madtomic please remember that we will not provide any support for old versions. I hope you don't run into any problems

[Legendaryx]

It is possible nowadays with a certain thing. Its also on wynncraft that they have npcs with nametags.
