    I had looked around and couldn't find anything that did this without removing the ability to view honor bars.  Couldn't find what I was looking for, so decided to do it myself.

    If you notice anything broken or that needs fixed, please let me know and I will update it when possible.

     

    If there is any other functionality you would like to see here, let me know and I'll do what I can.  As of now, only works with Tampermonkey, will see about adding TornPDA functionality soon.

    Script is free to use, but donations as a thanks are always accepted and appreciated.

     

    [UPDATE Sept 6, 2026]

     

    I'm terrible and forgot my greasyfork login. However, I have updated the script with bug fixes, as well as stopped the overlap and clipping issue that tends to occur with BSP, especially on mobile. 

     

    I have texted it with tampermonkey via Firefox Mobile, I have not tested it on TornPDA. If you have any issues, please let me know.

     

    You will need to uninstall the previous version manually otherwise this version may conflict.

    Oh also does it fix the issue with BSP covering names on mobile faction pages or no

    It doesn't currently, but I'm actually working on that as we speak.

     

    Might be more of an issue with where BSP locates the stats and I may not be able to change it without breaking the script.  If I can't fix it'll I'll see if Tdup can adjust the stat locations so that it doesn't conflict.

    I had to go into the BSP script and add my own style to bump it over to the right quite a bit. Only problem with that solution is that it has to be fixed every time BSP updates.

    The main thing that bugs me is when you can't tell if it's a number or a letter unless you go to their profile and see the spelling at the top. I mean sure it's neat to be able to make a names that look identical at first glance, but when it matters it's tedious.

    That absolutely drive me nuts as well.

     

    I also hate when trying to type someone's name in chat, to send items, etc.  Or even just trying to read them in general in the forums etc. The kerning of the default font and the letter spacing is so bad I can't read it.

    Needed a cleaner font type so that I could actually see the players names half the time and it drove me nuts.

    Im attempting to figure out a way to make this work.

     

    I suspect that BSP uses the honor bar as a reference point, because I made multiple attempts to pin the left side of the honor bar to the right side of the BSP box, but was unable to make it work. Even with forcibly trying to break the set widths of the table cells for Torn's layout, I couldn't make BSP and the honor bars line up side by side in some locations. This may need to be a fix that comes from the BSP side of the code.

    Thank you!

     

    I'm currently working on v2.0 will feature the ability to change font sizes on the fly, the ability to add custom outline colors to yourself or other people, and should feature better BSP compatibility, especially on mobile!

    An option to turn the images off from all the usernames would be great, it could be text-based.

    The game already allows you to do this in settings by clicking the toggle for "Show Honor Bars".

     

    I created this as an option for people that like the honor bars, but still wanted to be able to read the names.

    Do they have to be ALL CAPS? I work with spreadsheets and chat and discord and like to use the correct case of a person's name. I can't just glance at their honor bars, I have to go to their profile to get the correct representation of their name. 

    Well this is embarrassing.... just hovering the cursor over the honor bar shows me exactly what I want to see. I haven't noticed that in 5 years? Please tell me that's new. blushing.svg

    I don't think it's new... but I plan on adding a caps toggle, easily adjustable font size (I went with 12 here, but I really think 10 works better), and a few other QOL features when I release V2.0, which should be Soon™️.

     

    Just working on getting some kinks ironed out with BSP.

     

    Initially I went with all caps due to the default font also being all caps (or at least syalysticly all caps). I wanted to keep as similar of a feel as the original without being as difficult to read as the original.

    And this is on mobile,

    Color can be changed easily. Let me know if anyone wants it
