I originally released this back in October, but I’ve recently been inspired to start it up again and fix all the bugs and add more features, so I rolled out an update a few minutes ago. Here’s a post about the features of the model.
[ul]
[li]You can set a custom icon to appear next to your name instead of the regular BC icons[/li]
[li](In this update) You can change the width of your custom icon to make it whatever aspect ratio you want[/li]
[li]You can disable BC Icons[/li]
[li](In this update) You can disable the primary leaderstat (the one that shows under your name at the top)[/li]
[li](In this update) You can have the name of the primary leaderstat show next to it[/li]
[li]You can set your own custom chat colors[/li]
[li](In this update) You can make certain players not appear on the list[/li]
[li]You can set an alias to your name to have your name appear differently[/li]
[li]You can send custom chats with the chat API[/li]
[li]Comes with a shiny gui that shows up when a player tries to use the leaderboard to report or friend someone, telling them that it’s a custom player list[/li]
[/ul]
This is basically a port of the CoreGui PlayerListScript and ChatScripts with lots of added features to improve usability. They look and function the same, except for the lack of reporting and friend requests.

To set it up all you need to do is place the CustomPlayerList ScreenGui into your game’s StarterGui. If you don’t want the ChatScript you can simply remove it, but the ChatScript will not work alone. You should set your game to bubble chat only if you’re going to be using the chat script. See the PlayerListScript for its settings.
Each script has an external API that can be used by your game’s scripts to change peoples’ aliases, icons, etc… It should be noted that the changes will only affect the client that you set them on, so you’ll need to coordinate your scripts if you want to set something on every client while your game is running. You can view the API by going into the PlayerListScript and searching for “API DOCS”.
Also, because of the recent discussion about players using this to impersonate admins, I’ve made it so that setting your icon to the R icon is no longer as simple as putting a 1 next to your name. A 1 now gives you a star icon, and anyone who wants an R icon is going to have to find the image id on their own.

Questions? Comments? Slurs? Post them all here!
EDIT: For those of you who were at least somewhat aware of the old version, you should all be glad to know that I finally fixed the bug related to players being unable to see new players’ chats until they reset their character.
- Added a teams_enabled setting so you can choose to show team labels or not
- Added PlayerListAPI:SetLabelColors that allows you to set the text and background color of a player’s tag. Of course there’s a table at the top of the script where you can simply add names and colors.
- Fixed the chat script so it now properly replays the previous few chats when the gui is reloaded.
- Adjusted icons for optimal alignment
