Renamer NPC names corrupted on latest client

[siguma-zero]

Hello.

After recent Windower updates, the renamer addon seems to behave differently with NPC names.

Some custom NPC names are:

• truncated
• showing extra text like "auc"
• or ending with characters like ":"

This happens across multiple LSB servers, so it does not appear to be server-specific.

I would like to ask:

Is there a new recommended way to use renamer with current Windower/client versions?

Are there any naming limitations, formatting rules, or addon updates required for custom NPC names?

Thank you.

There were some things that changed internally that could cause this, but since renamer is not an official addon, I can't say much more about it. Do you have a link to where you got it from, so I can inspect what the addon does?

An additional note: It's entirely possible that this is an LSB exclusive issue. Are you able to test this on retail?

This is the addon repository I am using:

https://github.com/TeoTwawki/renamer-windower

The addon worked correctly before, but the issue started occurring after recent Windower updates.

Previously, custom NPC names displayed normally, but now NPC names are:

• truncated
• showing extra text like "auc"
• or ending with characters like ":"

The issue reproduces consistently across multiple LSB servers.

Unfortunately, I am not currently playing on retail, so I am unable to verify whether the same issue also occurs there.

Thanks, I'll look into it.
