Description
This is a server-side mod. If you play on a multiplayer server, you do not need to install this.
It does not interfere with other mods that modify containers such as Improved Containers or Enhanced Storage.

When playing with mods, be sure to keep current backups of your storage folder that contains character, ship & universe. Also learn how to use the 3 player/shipworld backups that Starbound automatically generates.

Do not add any dependency to or on this mod. It needs to operate without restrictions.
Please contact me if you want me to add features or support other mods.


Introduction
This mods adds labels to containers that show when highlighting interactable objects. (ALT-key on Windows)

Labels only show up on containers that have custom names. So you will need to have mod that lets you rename containers, Improved Containers or Enhanced Storage work very well.

Supported mods
Avali, Felins, Frackin' Universe, Gardenbot2, Munari, MadTulips Spaceship Mod, Pixel Goods Store, The Viera Race of Ivalice


Known issues
When coming into view, the label (NPC name) will display for a second before fading away.
Proximity sensors will detect labels (NPC)

Non-Steam version
You can download a non-Steam version that you can install into /mods/ for servers or other releases of the game on the official Starbound repository http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/magic-labels.4072/

Does this work with the custon names you can give things with Enhanced Storage?

Hello @v6 !
I made a version of your mod with a couple of fixes and modification to the script (better support for colored names, custom status text, and other minors) and a cumulative patch included to cover all the mods covered by enhanched storage and more (a custom patch with more enh stor coverage).
Can I publish it with your permission and a link to your mod as the clear main source for the script code?

I have the same problem, i guess, the name wont change and add character ^w... at the end

I changed the name of a box. Then decided I wanted to change it again.
When changing a 2nd time the OG name remains no matter how many times I rename.
I even unsubscribed to the storage mod and reinstalled and still it showed the old name I had chosen.
So I removed this mod and tried again to no avail. It is Retaining the 1st custom name I put.

I can't tell if it's this mod or Enhanced Storage.

**Removed Enhanced Storage and Subscribed to Improved Containers instead. Box in question is Still retaining the Name of the 1st Custom Choice regardless of putting a fresh name with the new Mod. **
** When Box is opened new name shows as intended. ONLY when holding Alt to activate This mod does the 1st custom name remain regardless of what the current box name is.**

@Nephirus90 0 incompatibilities with known mods that modify containers.

This mod has made naming boxes, chests, etc. really worthwhile, thank you, very useful.

Is there a known incompatibility or major issue with the last version of starbound or some of the more popular mods?

I'm not sure if this counts as a bug, but I can't seem to get the labels on mannequins to work. It works on chests, but not mannequins. Any and all help is very much appreciated!

It works with a ton of mods for me including FU, cant play without this now

answering myself: mod still works, and with frackin too. BUT, as person above said - wall-mounted storages wont show anything - both with and without custom labels. Iceboxes and normal storages seem to work fine

does it still work? Anything about FU compatibility (e.g will FU's custom containers display stuff too?)
