Big NameTags

Displays each player's Steam username above their head so you can identify who is who at a glance.

Upgrading from v1.0.0 (BigWalkNametags)? The mod has been renamed. Before installing this version you'll need to clean up the old files:

1. Delete BepInEx/plugins/BigWalkNametags.dll
2. Delete BepInEx/config/BigWalkNametags.cfg (or note down your settings first)
3. Install BigNameTags.dll into BepInEx/plugins/ as normal
4. Launch the game once to generate the new config at BepInEx/config/BigNameTags.cfg, then re-apply any custom values

The old config file will be ignored going forward — only BigNameTags.cfg is read.

Features

• World-space name tag floats above every remote player
• Billboard rendering – always faces your camera regardless of player orientation
• Drop shadow for legibility against any background
• Configurable height, scale, and whether to show your own name
• Configurable max visibility distance — nametags fade out beyond a set range to keep things fair

Install (manual)

1. Install BepInEx 6 IL2CPP (not included in this download) into your Big Walk directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BIG WALK)
2. Launch the game once, then close it — this lets BepInEx initialize and create its folder structure inside the game directory.
3. Place BigNameTags.dll in BepInEx/plugins/
4. Launch the game again — the config file will be generated on this second launch.

Install (Thunderstore / R2ModMan)

Search for BigNameTags and click Install.

Config

After the first launch, edit BepInEx/config/com.bigwalkmod.nametags.cfg:

Notes

• The mod is client-side only – all players need it for two-way visibility.
• Names are read from PlayerNetworking.NetworkmoderationName, the Mirror-synced Steam username the game already sends to all clients.
• Tested against BepInEx 6 IL2CPP be.785.
