GlowNames

GlowNames is a lightweight BepInEx mod for R.E.P.O. that lets you quickly reveal nearby player names with one configurable key.

The goal is simple: the base game only shows player names when you are close enough and looking in the right way, and the text can be faint. GlowNames gives you a short, readable name reveal when you need to identify teammates.

Features

Press one configurable key to reveal nearby non-local player names.
Default key is L.
REPOConfig-compatible key setting: change the key in-game without restarting.
Clean plain white text by default; no gold outline, no visual clutter.
Configurable reveal range, duration, opacity, and minimum font size.
Wall occlusion support: names blocked by walls or large physics objects are not revealed.
Optional filters for disabled or dead players.
Optional TMP outline settings if you want extra contrast.

How it works

When the activation key is pressed, GlowNames opens a short reveal window.
During that window, it reads the game's player list and skips the local player.
It filters other players by distance, disabled state, and dead/downed state according to your config.
For each valid player, it checks line of sight from Camera.main to the player's nameplate world position.
If a wall or large physics object blocks the raycast, the name is not forced visible.
If the player is visible and in range, GlowNames calls the game's original nameplate display method and extends the nameplate timer.
A Harmony postfix reapplies the readable text style after the game's own nameplate update, so the text stays clear while the reveal window is active.
When the reveal window ends, temporary text styling is restored.

GlowNames does not create a separate UI layer. It reuses the game's existing player nameplate system and only changes visibility/styling during the configured reveal window.

Installation

Install with a Thunderstore-compatible mod manager, or install manually:

Install BepInEx 5 for R.E.P.O.
Copy GlowNames.dll into your game's BepInEx plugins folder:
```
BepInEx/plugins/GlowNames/GlowNames.dll
```
Start the game once to generate the config file.

Usage

Start or join a run.
Press L by default.
Nearby visible player names will appear for a few seconds.
If a teammate is behind a wall or large blocking object, their name will stay hidden.

If you use REPOConfig, open the in-game mod config menu and change Hotkeys > ActivationKey to your preferred key.

Configuration

Config file:

BepInEx/config/com.zhuanban.glownames.cfg

Hotkeys

`ActivationKey`

Default: L

The only key that activates GlowNames. This is intentionally a single key so you do not accidentally bind two active reveal keys at the same time.

REPOConfig shows this as a short list:

None, G, H, J, K, L, N, U, Y, Mouse3, Mouse4, LeftAlt, RightAlt

Use None to disable the hotkey.

Display

`Range`

Default: 35

Maximum distance from the local player. Players outside this radius are ignored.

`Duration`

Default: 3

How many seconds names stay forced visible after pressing the activation key.

`Alpha`

Default: 1

Text opacity while GlowNames is active. 1 is fully opaque, 0 is invisible.

`FontSize`

Default: 24

Minimum font size while active. The game may still render close players larger, but GlowNames prevents highlighted names from becoming too small to read.

Filters

`IncludeDisabledPlayers`

Default: false

If enabled, GlowNames can include players marked disabled by the game.

`IncludeDeadPlayers`

Default: false

If enabled, GlowNames can include players with detected dead/downed flags.

Outline

`Enabled`

Default: false

Enables a TMP outline override while names are revealed. Disabled by default for clean plain white text.

`Color`

Default: FFFFFFFF

Outline color in RRGGBBAA format. Only used when Outline.Enabled is true.

`Width`

Default: 0

Outline width. Only used when Outline.Enabled is true.

Occlusion

`Enabled`

Default: true

If enabled, GlowNames checks whether walls or physics objects block the nameplate. Blocked names are not revealed.

`CheckInterval`

Default: 0.1

Seconds between line-of-sight checks per nameplate. Lower values react faster but do more raycasts.

Notes

Old GlowNames builds used PrimaryHotkey and SecondaryHotkey. Those settings are obsolete and ignored by this version.
If you previously used an older build, delete BepInEx/config/com.zhuanban.glownames.cfg once to regenerate a clean config.
REPOConfig does not display BepInEx KeyboardShortcut entries, so GlowNames uses a REPOConfig-friendly string key list instead.
