Player Names Not Showing Up
New, WishlistPublic

Description

When i go onto any wasteland server, if i try to see someones name in the 'player menu' and then in the 'groups' button everyone's name is just 'Player' or something else similar to that. (this counts for any server) When i go into a vehicle with someone else in it, it does not show their name in the bottom right corner of my screen. Nothing comes up at all.

This is an issue with a 3rd party script, report it to the author and close this ticket.

Then how does that explain the names in vehicles? And im not sure if its just in default Arma or not but if your able to look at someone and see their name, i cant.

There isn't anything that shows the names of players in your vehicle in vanilla Arma 3. The second thing could just be disabled on the server.

Ok, one more thing. (sorry for bothering you) When you say that its a 3rd party script, do you mean its from the mission file? Because if it is, how come its the same thing with every server? And even with a different game mode to wasteland? (one that also has the ability to see other players names)

Thanks

Maybe the missions were made by the same author, or the original author made the script public so that anyone can use it.

I'm not sure which name showing script you're talking about, can you upload a screenshot to a site such as Imgur or Imageshack and post the link here?

Yep sure, ill upload a video quickly.

Nope, there's no such thing in vanilla Arma 3. Report it to the mission author.

Yes, theres nothing like this in vanilla Arma. Its a script from a mission file. If you havent heard of Wasteland, its a game mode that someone made (and made it public) and some people edit it to personalize it to make it suit their server. Now. Im pretty sure the Altis version of wasteland is made by a different person. But has the same things as the Stratis one. Also, which mission author are you talking about? The original one? Or the ones who have edited it?

Try reporting it to the server owner or one of the admins. If there aren't any, report it to the person who edited the mission.

Ok, ill try that today.

Thanks for all your help.
