Summary
Server-side mod that allows admins to assign custom names, tags, and ranks to players via a simple JSON file. Names are seamlessly updated across nametags, scoreboard, chat, etc.
Official Workshop description
A server-side mod that allows server administrators to assign custom names and tags to players. The customized names replace the default Steam names across all UI elements in the game.
Features
- Global Override: Custom names are automatically applied to overhead nametags, the player scoreboard, chat, killfeed, VON UI, and the group HUD.
- Admin Controlled: Players cannot change their own names via chat commands. All names are strictly managed by the server admin.
-*Standalone: No dependencies on other mods.
How it works
On the first server startup, the mod creates a directory and a JSON file in your server profile:
`$profile:BTC_custom_names/BTC_custom_names.json`
The mod automatically populates this file with the UID and Steam name of any player who joins the server:
{
"20213911-5f56-4346-3a5e-20433f73e382": {
"playerName": "real",
"customName": "fake"
}
}

Add BTC_custom_names to the game.mods array of your server config.json. The config generator builds the full file, the mod manager keeps the mod list and its dependencies organized, and the config validator checks an existing config. The adding mods guide and mod dependencies guide walk through it step by step.
