LibCustomNames

LibCustomNames is a lightweight library for The Elder Scrolls Online that allows custom names for players.
Originally part of HodorReflexes, this library was separated out to improve modularity and reduce overhead.
Dependencies: LibAddonMenu-2.0

Whether you're a streamer, guild leader, or just want to stand out with a personalized name, this library gives you that little touch of customization - shared across all supported addons.

Features

- Assign custom names to ESO players
- Centralized and easy-to-maintain name list
- Designed for reuse in multiple addons (e.g., HodorReflexes)
- Lightweight and dependency-free

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes LibCustomNames by m00nyONE. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on ESOUI on 26 October 2026: https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info4155-LibCustomNames.html

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.esoui.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

Requirements

Game versions
  • 11.1.0
  • 11.0.0
API VERSION

Built for ESO API version 11.1.0, 11.0.0. After a patch the game marks add-ons built for the previous API as out of date; the "Allow out of date add-ons" checkbox in the add-on menu loads them anyway, and most work.

LIBRARIES

Many ESO add-ons depend on a shared library — LibAddonMenu-2.0 above all — which is installed separately, exactly like an add-on. A dependency that is missing shows as the add-on simply not appearing in the list.

CONSOLE

Add-ons are PC and Mac only. There is no way to load them on console.

Installation

1. Download the archive with the button on this page and unzip it.

2. Move the unzipped folder into your add-ons directory:

Windows — Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns

macOS — ~/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns

3. Start the game, and at the character select screen click Add-Ons.

4. Tick the add-on. If it is greyed out and marked out of date, tick "Allow out of date add-ons" at the top of the same panel.

5. Log in. Most add-ons need a /reloadui after they are first enabled.

UPDATING

Delete the old folder first. ESO loads everything it finds, and two copies of one add-on is the usual cause of "an add-on has produced an error" on login.

This release downloads from cdn.esoui.com, not from us, so there is no checksum to compare against. Scan the archive before you unpack it.
