As requested - would it be possible to add UUID support?

Thanks!

Can you (and anyone else monitoring the forum that has an opinion) please clarify how you would like to see UUIDs supported?

What I may think constitutes 'support' may not be the same as what you think, and since I am not actively running any MC servers right now, I'm concerned that I may implement something that is useless or otherwise off target.

The more detailed and long winded your explanation the better.

I was just thinking that you could change it from player usernames to uuids, maybe add a converter or something.

Then Minecraft name changes would be supported etc.

@KoolKrafter: Go

When the plugin displays messages to a player and uses a name, I think the player would want and expect to see their current player name, not their uuid. Do you agree?

Also, when commands are used that require a player ID, the command should also use the player's current name, not uuid. Again, do you agree?

The uuid can be used to make sure that there is only one entry per player in the database, etc but both the uuid and current player name should be stored, I think.

@Edge209: Go

Oh yeah I forgot about that lol. Yeah I agree it should use the player's name :P I guess both can be stored. When a player logs in it checks their UUID with any existing ones in the database. If it already exists then it modifies the player name of the existing entry to the new playername instead of creating a new entry.
