Description
***UPDATE***
This probably doesn't work as advertised anymore. I may eventually come back and figure out what has changed about Garry's Mod that broke what I did, but no guarantees. I'm leaving the tool up on the Workshop, in case it works for some people.

Adds two admin commands and a client command to a Garry's Mod server. Admin or RCON can enable and disable the addon functionality with enable_changename and disable_changename. When enabled, users can change their visible nickname with setname [new name]. This will change their nickname until the current game completely resets. All players will be informed when a player changes their name.

@Strelok
You have to type enable_changename into the console then "setname NameGoesHere"

It works for me, I guess it's maybe because I'm playing on the x86 version?

May be reviving old tread, but it works as of 2020.

can you use it to change a nametag for an NPC? ive been looking for a tool to do that

Can you make it so you can have spaces in the name? It's alright if you can't fix it though.

Thanks for the advice. I'm sorry for getting to be redundant (because I made you give information that was already been said). As I already know this works for some people, is there still the possibility you might still work on this "project", saying that this was a very good concept, none the less, and maybe, just maybe, try and find any solution (besides from the game's incompabilty itself)?

Sorry, as per my earlier comment, an update like a day after I released this broke it. It still worked for some people, apparently, but I really can't guarantee that it works. I'll update the description to reflect that fact that it probably doesn't work, but I won't delete it since it seems to still work for some people.

Not working for some reason, even though it still says in chat that the player changed his name. :\ Is something wrong?
