Hello, would like to report an issue with the mod, surnames are being removed for some reason when I added this to a co-op session
UattO 1 May, 2024 @ 10:38am 
if you need i can do some test
UattO 1 May, 2024 @ 10:37am 
thanks, solved, but i removed this mod cause it delete the character's surname on my server, i don't know if it is a conflict with another mod or not

@UattO Check that your provided portrait URL matches their desired filter website. Usually servers require imgur images for safety, but yours may be different. Ask an admin
UattO 12 Apr, 2024 @ 1:40pm 
steam overlay is on

Hi, sure this issue came from my unexperiece, i'm trying to add a picture as portrait for my character in a dedicated server, but apparently any url taken from google images doesn't work for me...what am i messing?

Could I ask how I make the bio appear above my character's head??
buffy  [author] 25 Oct, 2023 @ 3:42pm 
@Gosha You can upload a small patch mod that requires this as the base mod, sure!

Hello Buffy,

I would like to modify your mod to allow server admins to utilize bio descriptions. As of now, server admins default to using their username, which results in the name over their head not displaying their bio. I have found a workaround for this and am asking for permission to upload a modified version with my fix.

Thank you.

How do i make the descriptions appear on the top of the characters?
NEOgeek 8 Jul, 2023 @ 10:42pm

@Sir Wolfenhauser Make sure to enable the Steam overlay
Sir Wolfenhauser 23 Jan, 2023 @ 7:49pm 
hello, I cannot view the picture as it alt-tabs me and requires a program to view blobs, any reccommendations?
buffy  [author] 5 Jan, 2023 @ 1:28pm 
@tanuki Oops! I'll push a fix for it soon. I used an 'or' statement instead of a more thorough 'if not ISChat.instance.rpName then' magic. :)
tanuki 5 Jan, 2023 @ 12:57pm 
hi @buffy, you are passing ISChat.instance.rpName (which is defined by your roleplay chat mod) to the ltrim function, which assumes that the passed string is defined, and this causes lots of errors and breaks this mod if you don't have the other one.

Probably a simple:

local function ltrim(s)
return s and s:match'^%s*(.*)';
end

should fix it.

@Castle the Clown Hi Castle! Please ask your server operator to remove this mod from their modpack to prevent instances where they are on a previous build of the mod. I play in 4k on an HDR monitor and can confirm the UI fits my screen just fine. :D
Script Whore 4 Jan, 2023 @ 6:53am 
Hey there Buffy! Any chance you could possibly fix the roleplay descriptor box for those of us who use 4k Monitors? It ends up cutting the box in half and we can't utilize nor read folks descriptions even half-way, and it pains us so! Thank you so much!
Hanbara 3 Jan, 2023 @ 5:24pm 
okay, we fix it. Just click your feet.
Hanbara 2 Jan, 2023 @ 9:04pm 
Helllo, i try to use it on my server, its show on sandbox option but cannot add bio can you help me ?
25 Dec, 2022 @ 6:04pm 
:steamthumbsup: Thanks buffy! Happy holidays:spiffo:
buffy  [author] 24 Dec, 2022 @ 8:05pm 
Hi O2! Make sure your server operator has enabled the experimental feature sandbox setting under Buffy Mods!
21 Dec, 2022 @ 6:42pm 
Hello again @buffy! love this new update especially the option to share the character art! However I'm curious how people managed to add text under character names. like the ones displayed in the mod photos. I thought it would be the first line of the bio that is displayed over head but doesn't seem to work on my end unless i'm missing something? :spiffo:
buffy  [author] 20 Dec, 2022 @ 9:07pm 
@elizabeth.w502 hi fellow elizabeth! this mod doesn't touch ISChat or the chat object outside of a line that alerts nearby users that you've updated your description/portrait. try checking mods that have chat functionality to find your culprit!

@DaNiG this update runs on Wasteland RP with 80 concurrent players just fine, and i'm sure many other RP servers with comparable numbers. i hope you figure out the issue with your server!!
20 Dec, 2022 @ 6:59pm 
Safehouse / Faction chat not working since this update, unsure if it's related.
DaNiG 19 Dec, 2022 @ 11:34pm 
Thx for update. My server broke down.
buffy  [author] 18 Dec, 2022 @ 6:35pm 
I'll try to fix the spaces before the name appearing in chat and move it to a sandbox option, off by default
18 Dec, 2022 @ 6:24pm 
It works fine on the server I play, the gap was an issue until /name was done and bio reset, is it possible to keep it?
buffy  [author] 18 Dec, 2022 @ 4:04pm 
I'll be nixing the hover descriptions portion of the latest update later tonight when I get a moment, as it's a little janky in playtesting!
buffy  [author] 31 Aug, 2022 @ 8:35am 
@Vanor This particular mod is not GPL 3.0
buffy  [author] 31 Aug, 2022 @ 8:34am 
@SirPhoenixBlood This is a Multiplayer mod intended for RP interactions between players. It is not intended to work in Singleplayer.
SirPhoenixBlood 28 Aug, 2022 @ 11:10pm 
its not working in single player when i hit save its not saving it just has a "Loading......" text when i reopen it again
Vanor 7 Jun, 2022 @ 8:08am 
Good day buffy, most of your mods are GPL 3.0 but this one is not explicitely marked as such.
I'd like to know if we can include your mod in our server pack. All the mods and content that we create are GPL 3.0 so I'd like permission to include this mod in our server pack either with the confirmation that it is GPL 3.0 or with the notification that it isn't so that we can document it accordingly.
buffy  [author] 1 Jun, 2022 @ 4:11am 
Sure! You need access to the cachedir/Lua folder if i recall correctly; so your server's base directory where the Lua folder is. If you can't see it/write to it on your host, that's a great sign that they have bad permissions setup for you!
ike 30 May, 2022 @ 10:34am 
Oh, damn. I'll see if I can get perms back for the files then. Can I ask which one's in particular your mod edits? Hopefully they can give me back those perms.
buffy  [author] 30 May, 2022 @ 9:47am 
File saving is a permissions issue with your host. When you reinstalled it likely changed your file permissions on the machine to less-than-favorable ones! This mod is still running fine on my live server, running Windows OS via TCAdmin panel
ike 28 May, 2022 @ 6:25pm 
It was working for me a few weeks ago though, but then I reinstalled the server (wipe) and now it doesn't work.
Fie 28 May, 2022 @ 4:18pm 
The issue I was having was my host wasn't allowing us to edit certain files, if you're using G-portal that is probably why it's not working.
batsonline 28 May, 2022 @ 6:07am 
Also having this issue.
ike 27 May, 2022 @ 5:58pm 
I also get an issue where bio's are not saving on my server.
Not sure if it's the same error that Fie was having.
Here's a link to a screenshot of our console if you have time to check it:

buffy  [author] 12 Apr, 2022 @ 11:34pm 
Added you Fie
Snow 12 Apr, 2022 @ 8:53pm 
Awesome mod, great server! <3
Fie 12 Apr, 2022 @ 3:34pm 
Steam won't let me post the full stack trace X_X.
To summarize, error we're getting is:
Object tried to call nil in Save at KahluaUtil.fail line:82.

Not sure how helpful this is for you. Thanks for any help you can offer.
buffy  [author] 10 Apr, 2022 @ 11:06pm 
@Fie I run this mod on my own server and do not have that issue. Ensure the mod is not placed in any mod packs, and make sure that if you are on a managed host they are not restricting your server's ability to create .json files/permissions issues.
Fie 10 Apr, 2022 @ 2:10pm 
Hey sorry to be a bother but on my server we're having bios reset every time someone logs out, meaning they have to completely redo their bio whenever they log in. Is this a known issue with workarounds?
Kona 13 Mar, 2022 @ 8:34pm 
sorry i was just meme'n
buffy  [author] 13 Mar, 2022 @ 1:37am 
... what?
