***

#### ⚙️ `SimpleNameTagsConfig.json` Overview

The `SimpleNameTagsConfig.json` is the master file for your player identification system. It controls global visibility distances, AFK mechanics, layout styles, and the specific assignment of custom tags, icons, and ranks to your players via their SteamIDs.

***

#### 🖥️ Global Visibility & UI Settings

These settings dictate how the name tags look and behave for everyone on the server.

| **Property**         | **Type** | **Description**                                                                             |
| -------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `ConfigVersion`      | `Int`    | Do not change. Used internally for file updates.                                            |
| `MaxDistance`        | `Float`  | The maximum distance (in meters) a tag can be seen. *(PvP Tip: Lower to 15.0 for realism).* |
| `TagScale`           | `Float`  | The size multiplier for the custom `[TAG]` text.                                            |
| `LevelScale`         | `Float`  | The size multiplier for the level/rank indicators.                                          |
| `ShowSelf`           | `Int`    | `1` = Players can see their own tag (useful for 3rd person/inventory). `0` = Hidden.        |
| `ShowVoiceIndicator` | `Int`    | `1` = Displays a green microphone icon when a player is speaking in-game.                   |
| `ShowReputation`     | `Int`    | `1` = Automatically grabs and displays DayZ Expansion Hardline reputation. `0` = Disabled.  |
| `RepColor`           | `Int`    | ARGB integer color for the reputation number (Default `-256` is Gold).                      |
| `ColorNormal`        | `Int`    | ARGB integer color for standard player names (Default `-1` is White).                       |
| `DebugLevel`         | `Int`    | Set to `1` for admin logging. Keep at `0` for live servers.                                 |
| `LayoutMode`         | `Int`    | `0` = Stacked Mode (Tag above name). `1` = Inline Mode (Tag next to name).                  |

***

#### 💤 AFK & Auto-Reload Systems

Automate your server's tag management. The AFK system cleans up UI clutter, and the auto-reload ensures tag updates push to live players without server restarts.

| **Property**     | **Type** | **Description**                                                                                    |
| ---------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `AFKTimeout`     | `Int`    | Seconds of zero movement before a player is marked AFK (e.g., `300` = 5 minutes).                  |
| `AFKPrefix`      | `String` | The text appended to the player's name when away (e.g., `"[AFK]"`).                                |
| `AFKColor`       | `Int`    | ARGB integer color the name turns when AFK (Default `-1691086` is Red).                            |
| `AutoReloadTags` | `Int`    | `1` = The server will automatically refresh the config. `0` = Manual reload only via Admin hotkey. |
| `ReloadEvery`    | `Float`  | How often (in seconds) the auto-reload triggers (e.g., `3600.0` = 1 Hour).                         |

***

#### 🛡️ Admin & Tag Management

Control who manages the mod and who gets to wear specific titles.

| **Property**     | **Type** | **Description**                                                                             |
| ---------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `AdminSteamIDs`  | `Array`  | Steam64 IDs of players allowed to use `Ctrl+H` (Incognito Mode) and `Ctrl+N` (Live Reload). |
| `NoTagsSteamIDs` | `Array`  | Steam64 IDs of players who will *never* have a name tag displayed (forced incognito).       |

**Custom Tags Array**

The `CustomTags` array lets you build infinite roles. To give a player a tag, simply add their Steam64 ID to the `SteamIDs` list inside that specific tag block.

| **Property** | **Type** | **Description**                                     |
| ------------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `TagName`    | `String` | The text displayed (e.g., `"[OWNER]"`, `"[VIP+]"`). |
| `TagColor`   | `Int`    | The ARGB integer color for the tag.                 |
| `SteamIDs`   | `Array`  | List of players who receive this tag.               |

***

#### 🎖️ Ranks & Custom Icons

You can assign specific visual icons to players. The mod includes pre-built vanilla icons (Eye, Bulb, Gamepad, Hand, Tweet) and a 1-to-5 Star rating system.

If you want to use a completely custom icon (from Expansion or another mod), use the `CustomIcons` array:

| **Property** | **Type** | **Description**                                                                                                      |
| ------------ | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `IconPath`   | `String` | The exact file path to the `.edds` or `.paa` image (e.g., `"DayZExpansion/Core/GUI/icons/misc/T_Fox_256x256.edds"`). |
| `SteamIDs`   | `Array`  | List of players who receive this specific custom icon next to their name.                                            |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://lng.gitbook.io/lng-docs/simple-name-tags/getting-started/profilesold-lngstudio-simplenametags-simplenametagsconfig-json.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
