Hello there, I was wondering if it is possible to remove a player from the player count shown on the server listing. If so, would anyone be willing to create such a plugin? Plugin Name: ListRemover or something... I'm not to picky. Category: ADMN Commands: Feel free to use your own command. /lr: Toggles your 'hiding' state. When hidden, remove a player from the list. I would just like a plugin to change my playername in the tab list. Other Pending Requests: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/region-autocmd.87402/
That's saddening. Extremely hard to go incognito, now that people see an extra player on the player count... I knew it probably wasn't possible. Just hoping. Thanks for the response, though.
You can remove yourself from the playerlist, but you also need to turn invisible to do this, I've seen it done.
Yes, I remove myself from the playerlist using SimpleVanish or the like. I meant the player count on the multiplayer server list.
Yep... I knew it was a long shot, but I just had to ask. It's been annoying, not being able to work in peace.
They've figured out that when I vanish, I still show up in the count. So, they log back out and check, which means that I have to scramble to log out. Also, when they log in, they check to see if the player count and the tab list matches. -_-
Why not disable the player drop message when you vanish? This way players never really know if you are watching them or not.
Odd idea for a solution - have a dummy name on the tab list, figure you who your most inactive player is, have him on the list and the tabbed list, and just have people assume he is online, but unresponsive! At least it would throw them off for a long time! If you can configure the name, they'll never catch on!
Ah, I like that idea! I'd just choose some random person who is banned (we have a lot of griefers who are banned with 5-minutes and no one knows them). Or just make up some name.
Exactly! Make it look like some random player who doesn't talk much or is perhaps afk is on the server while you remain safely hidden from the list ;D
and maybe if someone says a message like "hi" he/she will say hi back. Like automated message responses
I like this, but auto messages can be too predictable to really smart people. I don't know about the types of people on other people's servers, but I have some people I know in real life that are borderline, and actual, geniuses on mine, and if they see the same exact message, even twice, they would say hello to it again to try and prompt it to use the same phrase a third to see if it is a bot of sorts. Even if they had no knowledge of such a plugin existing, they'd see through it in a day. Even so, this idea would work for well over 99% of people, I don't know np98765's specific scenario. You COULD include a feature to talk as the player, giving it a sense of realism as it IS actually a real person speaking. Just say hi back, comment on the weather, small-talk really.
I've made it so that the player count displays "???" instead of "30/60". But that was done by making a modification on the server. I don't think that this is possible with a plugin.
It's possible. I can make a plugin to do this for you if necessary. For any developer interested, all you have to do is a send a Packet201PlayerInfo to players to modify the player list. To remove a player from it, you'd send a Code: new Packet201PlayerInfo(Playername, false, 1) To add a player send a Code: new Packet201PlayerInfo(Playername, true, 1) The first argument represents the username. The second argument represents whether or not they are online. If they're offline, the client will remove them from the list. The third argument is the ping. Because CraftBukkit doesn't update the playerlist(excluding log in and log out(That's why the pings on the list are inaccurate)) you only have to send a packet for log in and log out as well. EDIT: Thought I'd mention that I've made something like this request before, but as @MrPmiguelP said it requires a server modification(a very small one, actually).
So I'd have to use a modified cb.jar? There's really no other way to change the playername (on the tab list)?
Oh... Nay, I revised my request (not in the OP): Basically, all I need is some way to change my name in the tab list. I can pretend to be some other player AFK'ing, and /nick myself, so everything is good.

Would you like to upload it to BukkitDev? For security, and I think that others would enjoy this. Thanks again!
no problem, I'll add this feature to ColoredTablist, so I won't upload this small plugin to bukkitdev
