With help from Zoeo pointing out a couple of things in an example, I just posted a download for a file that will fix TTT name changes.  Just see first post, it is self explanatory.

I also pushed a small change to fakename.  I guess I was removing networked variables the wrong way.  It seems like I can never get it just right or it keeps changing.  No idea.

I found a way to change the entity:GetUserGroup(), but by doing so it changes how the ULib and ULX see your rank meaning you cannot use any commands.
Code: [Select]
function meta:GetUserGroup()
local realgroup = self:GetNetworkedString( "UserGroup", "user" )
local fakegroup = self:GetNWString( "FakeGroup", "user" )
if not self:IsFakenamed() then
return realgroup
else
return fakegroup
end
end

As I said though, when the ULX and ULib look at this it thinks that it is your actual rank and not a fake one, so any powers you have are unusable while hidden.  I tried to overwrite a ULib function in order to look at it as your real group instead of as a fakegroup, but I can't seem to get it to work.

NOTE: I should note that the rank MUST exist with this method, attempting to use a rank that is not on the server will cause errors and the ULiband ULX will break/lock you out until you change map/reset server and set your rank back.

As for the issue with the networked varibles, the NWVars were updated in the latest big update so I knew something was going to be up with them.  Setting it as nil instead of false also works.

Issues I all ran into.  This is why I am leaving it to server owners to incorporate it into their servers.

Here is a fix for the player not showing up as the rank they're supposed to show up as in the ULX playerarg list and in the "ulx who" command

WARNING: These files will overwrite the commands.lua and util.lua within the ULX, if you are using a modified version of commands.lua/util.lua or an updated ULX and ULib that has changed the commands.lua/util.lua in some way, those modifications will no longer exist and could break your ULX/ULib.  This version is made for ULib version 2.52 ULX version 3.62. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

Put the commands.lua in fakename/lua/ulx/xgui/

Put the util.lua in fakename/lua/ulx/modules/sh/

Fixed 154058ca54.  I assume DarkRP overwrites the name functions as well (to add nicknames or something like that).  I simply added more things to hopefully ensure we are the last to overwrite anything.

I wonder if it would be suspicious to go undercover as Nyan Yemmet.. hmmmm....

Anyways, I love this because otherwise I need to change my name on steam, change my group, etc.

Not at all!  This is indeed one of my favorites from a server I used to admin on a long time ago.  Simply recreated for ULX.
