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

wait what do you type to change name and where to type it console or chat

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

Does not work as of 2021

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?

bump

is it possibble to make it so it shows the name in the chatbox not juust the playerlist?

it still works for me but i doesnt allow spaces in the name can u try fixing that? if u cant i understand.

It actually stopped working pretty soon after I released it. I might get around to fixing it eventually, or just remove it, since apparently GMod doesn't want this to be possible. It was a console function.

is this in consle? or press y?
