About this mod Author’s original text

RPNames

Give yourself a custom, animated, and colorful roleplaying title above your name! All titles are synced with other players in multiplayer.

Features

  • Fully In-Game GUI: No more editing config files! Press F8 (configurable) to open a stylish, animated menu and configure your title on the fly.
  • Per-Character Profiles: Your title settings are saved for each character slot automatically.
  • Network Synced: Other players with the mod (and CodeTalker) will see your custom title exactly as you designed it.

Rich Customization Options:

  • Text Animations:
  • Static: A simple, non-moving title.
  • Scroll: The title reveals itself letter by letter, then reverses.
  • Marquee: Your title scrolls across a set width, like a news ticker.
  • Typewriter: Types out the title, pauses with a blinking cursor, backspaces, and repeats.
  • Coloring Effects:
  • Single Color: Pick any color using an in-game color picker or by entering a hex code.
  • Gradient: A smooth transition between two colors.
  • Can be static or animated to pulse between the start and end colors.
  • In-game color pickers for start and end colors.
  • Adjustable animation spread/speed.
  • Rainbow: The entire title cycles through the colors of the rainbow.
  • Wave: A beautiful rainbow wave effect that flows through the text.
  • Static Rainbow: Applies a fixed rainbow pattern across the text.
  • Formatting & Presets:
  • Choose from over 10 different bracket styles (or none at all).
  • Position the title on a new line, with or without a gap.
  • Select from a list of classic preset titles to get started quickly.
  • Profile Management:
  • Copy/Paste: Easily copy your current design and paste it into another character's profile.

How to Use

  • Once in-game with your character loaded, press the F8 key to open the settings menu.
  • Type your desired title in the text box at the top.
  • Use the dropdown menus and sliders to customize the animation, coloring, and formatting.
  • When you are happy with your title, click "Set & Save Title" at the bottom. Your title will be applied and saved for the current character.
  • To remove a title, simply click the "Clear Title" button.

Installation

  • Requires BepInEx.
  • Download the latest release and unzip it.
  • Place RPNames.dll into your BepInEx/plugins folder.

Dependencies

  • CodeTalker (Required for Multiplayer): This mod relies on CodeTalker to send and receive title data between players.
  • If you are playing single-player, you do not need CodeTalker.
  • If you are playing multiplayer, every player who wants to see or show custom titles must have both RPNames and CodeTalker installed.

Configuration

The mod's configuration file is located at BepInEx/config/RPNames.cfg.

  • Menu Key: You can change the key used to open the menu (F8 by default).
  • CharacterProfiles: This stores all your profile data in JSON format. It is strongly recommended to only edit your titles through the in-game menu to avoid errors.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
