How are you going about changing their names?

I know there is at least one plugin that changes NPCs names that had caused some issues in the past, do you have anything like that?

no i literally renamed them inside better npc data

also i added new clothing items and this combo seems to cause errors

If the formatting is left in tact then there should not be an issue with this. The ability to change their names within the config files of any plugin that uses them is never a problem if done correctly.

The configuration options to change their names and wearable items would not be there and would be a problem for many more people if this were the case. Something is using an incorrect short name, or there is an error either in the formatting or something else when these changes were made.

You are welcome to share an example of a file that you changed and I can review it for potential issues, or you are always welcome to create a ticket in the Mad Mapper DIscord as well if you'd rather share files there.

You know it!

For future reference if others come across a similar error, armor was combined with a mummy outfit which takes up all of the wearable slots like a hazmat suit or variant.

Thank you again for making a ticket and glad we could get to the bottom of it!
