Also I apologize for my large and mostly cringe mod collection

The Admin command thing is news to me. I've been using /admin but it only works after it finds a starting planet. Nightars and Vanta have a race ID conflict that makes them not work together but the issue's present with both of them. As for what mod's replacing those things I don't know what that could be but I'll see if I can figure out

@TMBCyberman the meme Downloaded the entire collection but it loads to slow(at the start and when the ship is searching for the starter planet), there are tons of errors(had to uninstall the nightars stuff because it was crashing) and it also disables the /admin command for some reason. I just installed mods from the collection that affect npcs/crew and everything still works fine. One of the other mods must be either replacing the entire .npc file or removing and replacing the whole "scripts" parameter via .patch(modders shouldn't any of that). The name displayer doesn't shows up if the npc haves a quest but that's intended, if it no longer haves a quest, it shows up.

Sent collection I use, and I'm fairly certain I am on the latest version as I redownloaded all 3 (plus the compatibility patch) yesterday

@TMBCyberman the meme Are you sure you have the lastest version of the main mod and this one? Do you use a mod collection so i can check it?

Tested. The name does not appear

@TMBCyberman the meme dealer It's a vanilla NPC or from a mod? Some npcs added by mods need to be patched if they use custom scripts.

Try spawning a vanilla villager npc: /spawnnpc human villager

Hit a snag again: Whenever I hit a hostile NPC the name appears but talking to a friendly one doesn't bring up anything unless it's a merchant

@TMBCyberman the meme dealer Do you have the lastet version of this patch? If you look in the gear button at the bottom right in-game at the title screen, and search the mod there, it should say 1.2. Book of Spirits should be at least version 3 or higher(4.1 is the lastest).

So it looks like Book of Spirits got an update that might've broken this patch
