Player names over ships

Jul 03, 2023 haxmeister link
Make an optional player name display over ships in view. This will make it easier to identify players in highly active sectors without the need to target them.

only player ships to avoid screen clutter.

fancy upgrade.. make it possible to add other info to the same box via lua or IUP

Added in 1.8.664:

- Added UI settings to set the name of players under their ships on the HUD when in 2D square target selection mode, located in Options -> Advanced -> Interface -> HUD Settings.
- Added ability for plugins to add additional lines of text to the name of players under their ships by setting AdditionalHUDText["character name"] to a string to display. The character name needs to match exactly (case sensitive), and the info is not saved when plugins/interface are reloaded or the game is restarted.
