Feature Request - Hiding the Server's player list

Tala

Hello!

Will it be possible to add for servers the feature of hiding the server's player list (the list of PCs that can be viewed when choosing a PC to log into a server)? Our server is currently using such a feature (by what I'm told, from a customised NWNX plugin, afraid it was from before my time as a DM there).

It's a very important thing for us to have, as it lessens the ways people may meta/sleuth/exploit by seeing other players PCs levels and classes.

Thanks for your consideration, and really thanks for all your hard work!

This was possible via a NWNX plugin, so hopefully that is something Beamdog can implement as they are apparently working with NWNX developers.

A little "plus one" on this thread, the roleplay servers have a real problem with the meta-knowledge and build-craft that goes with players freely seeing other people's levels.

I figured this ticket covers it, or maybe I'm misreading it?

However, it is true that our server is unlikely to transition before such a feature is added (either through the game or NWNX). Hopefully, it will be added soon!

Yes, this card - https://trello.com/c/Ak2yxqA0/28-provide-optional-filters-for-listing-or-not-listing-online-player-names-character-names-classes-and-levels-in-server-details-in - covers this thread. I've addded a link to it to the card, though.

Hello, been fighting with this myself. If still anyone needs a easy way to do this without NWNX, I've found out you can alter the mdl used by the login gui to display the list panel (basically changing the coords to draw it out of sight) and add the model to your module hak. Of course is a bit of a radical solution since it will hide the list entirely, not filter the informations, but probably still better than everyone knowing you're a blackguard and not that pious Ilmateri paladin
