Using a trick similiar to the small-name exploit you can make it so your name on the microphone label doesn't show up at all! :D This is because for some reason the "&" marks act as null characters. Here is a script (not really a script but meh) for it:
| Code: | // Microphone Label Hack
// By Q-bA11
// scripting.elxDraco.net
// Small
name "&"
// Bigger/Wide
name "& &"
name "& & & & &" // Less Obvious
// Steal Someone's Name
name "&n&0&0&b&z&0&r" |
a more detailed explanation:
 
So, with the formatting on the Microphone Label, you can do a few cool things. It works like this:
- When you use a group of &'s together in your name, the number of them is divided by two on the mic. label, and the amount, (say if the game was dividing down an odd number by half) would round down to the lower whole number of &'s rather than the higher option. This is hard to explain, so I'll just use some examples, where brackets = [ Mic. Label Name ]:
- name "&" (1) = [ ]
- name "&&" (2) = [ & ]
- name "&&&" (3) = [ & ]
- name "&&&&" (4) = [ && ]
- name "&&&&&" (5) = [ && ]
- name "&&&&&&" (6) = [ &&& ]
- name "&&&&&&&" (7) = [ &&& ]
- name "&&&&&&&&" (8) = [ &&&& ]
etc., and you begin to see the pattern here.
Put simply, what this means is that one "&" by itself is going to show up as... nothing! It's like a null character, not even a space. This dividing by half and showing up as actual &'s on the mic. label occurs only when the &'s are right next to each other. When seperated by spaces or other letters/characters, the are null characters, as mentioned above.
So, armed with this knowledge, you can do things in the above examples (pictures/code) like having a nameless large microphone sign or a small one.
The Cool Part:
This also lets you "steal" people's names, and you could potentially frame them for voice-spamming... if not, at least you evade punishment if the admin isn't smart enough to look at the jumble of letters and &'s on the scoreboard that is your name and not skip over it.
Example: | Code: | // If you wanted to copy the name "n00bz0r"
name "&n&0&0&b&z&0&r" |
and it would appear exactly identical on the Mic. Label. In a crowded server, people might not even be able to figure it out because they would just glance at the scoreboard and ignore your name because it appears to be gibberish. Just make sure you don't put &'s around the name (small-name exploit) as people could easily spot this because it's sticking out and might look suspicous or draw attention to you. :wink:

My script needs a delay so that the name on the microphone label stays... the only other problem is sometimes the name on the label refreshes, but I can't tell if that's just me seeing it or it changes instantly for others or yeah... I have to do some experimenting.

*bump*
It works... I think. The label usually stays but might screw up when the round restarts, I'm not sure... still, it's cool. You could just have your name as "&%&" the entire time and most people wouldn't be able to figure it out.

showed up like &... They look like spaces when there are two of them on the label, surrounding the name. At least, that's how they used to work for me. Will test later.

Will update/post my findings later.
Edit: Entire first post re-written, removed the unessecary script as there is a better, easier method of doing it.

In your script, you had something like this:
Quote// No Name on Mic Label
// By Q-bA11 @ scripting.ELXDraco.net
// Small
name "&"
// Bigger/Wide
name "& &"
name "& & & & &" // Less Obvious
//Name-Steal
name "n&0&0&b&z&0&r"
Well what if at the end of the script you changed your name back to what you had it? That way, after you spam the mic, your name is back to normal. the only thing fishy about it is that people will see
"& Changed his name to [Normal Name]"
// No Name on Mic Label
// By Q-bA11 @ scripting.ELXDraco.net
// Small
name "&"
// Bigger/Wide
name "& &"
name "& & & & &" // Less Obvious
//Rename
name "[Your Name]"

The original script I made actually did change your name back (with an m_pitch delay), but the thing is that sometimes the mic. label refreshes and it changes ... just at random times so it's weird.
Also, people would see your name change and it would just make it more obvious.
