Title: Previous names.
Post by: Chetan on November 04, 2018, 06:50:59 am: The suggestion is simple, add a new command like /previousnames [ID] that shows a list of some of the previous names of the person. Sometimes its really hard to recognize someone with the old name that shows up in /stats.

Agree but instead of moving from the game, wouldn't it be better if you can check this in-game?

This suggestion has already suggested over here and has been supported over here.

https://planbserver.com/forum/index.php?topic=1608.30

However implementation is flawed. And only last nickname is shown. Players easily avoid the purpose of knowing the previous name by using . or _ after their name after going clanless to avoid players knowing what clans they were in or who they were before.

The CP argument was already covered in the earlier post (however if anyone has a argument to counter it feel free to do so)

What's the point of spending time for adding this feature if it's useless?

Wasting time in scripting is better than everyone wasting time to check the player in CP. A command can be a faster/easier method for this.

There are many people who leave clans and simply add '.' or '_' just to avoid questions (I guess). Or they simply get a new name and add a new tag in two/three days and it make it impossible to recognise them.

Post by: Harvey on November 04, 2018, 04:07:25 pm: If they implement this command is useless to everyone especially the players who doesn't care about other player previous name on their history. instead of that i will prefer user CP to check entire of your old name and the other player. -1

Post by: Nikola on November 05, 2018, 08:55:38 pm: I don't see this as an absolute necessity, but it's faster than minimizing your game and checking the exact same information you can see in the CP, so why not.

The suggestion doesn't even have anything to do with the gamemode.

If Jonne and his/her scripters have time , I don't see why it shouldn't be implemented.

Post by: PakoVH on November 08, 2018, 02:03:01 am: Control Panel works perfectly so it's not neccesarie to add a new command just to check a previous nickname.

Post by: Altus_Demens on November 09, 2018, 11:43:37 am: Since the information is available on the CP, I think it would be better to have an option to retrieve it ingame. +1.

Title: Re: Previous names.
Post by: Jonne on December 09, 2018, 04:09:01 pm: As people mentioned, you can check this on the CP. We won't be adding this ingame, as it's hard to still display everything properly, especially as these lists keep getting longer and longer.
