'''NameLayer''' is a common plugin on [[Civ]] servers which allows for the creation of shared '''groups'''. Any player can create a group, and there is no limit on the number of groups a player can be a member of. Each group has a tiered rank structure, with players having varying level of permissions inside a particular group.
Groups interact closely with [[Citadel]], which allows reinforcing a block to a specific group. The group a block is reinforced to informs several other plugins. For instance, Citadel protections can be bypassed by players on their group, [[Snitch|snitches]] and [[Bastion|bastions]] will not affect players on their group, and [[Item Exchange|item exchanges]] can be locked to a specific group. Groups can also be used to send chat messages visible [[Chat|only to players on that group]].

== Special groups ==
=== Personal group ===
Each player is automatically given a ''personal group'' upon joining the server for the first time, whose name is the same as the player. A personal group is no different from a normal group, except that it is automatically created for players.
By default, a player's personal group is also their default group.
=== Default group ===
Each player has a ''default group'', which is the group used by commands when no group is specified. This is the player's personal group by default, but can be changed with the <code>/nlsdg</code> command, or from [[NameLayer#Interface|the interface]].
=== Global group ===
A ''global group'' is a group intended to provide a global chat, effectively bypassing the [[Chat|distance restriction of chat messages]]. This group is usually called <code>!</code> or <code>g</code>.
The concept of a global group was first introduced in [[Devoted]], where the global group was player-owned and managed, requiring players to join with a publicly shared password. On [[CivClassic]] and proceeding mainline server, global chat was cemented as a gameplay mechanic, with the group being owned by the server and players automatically added to it when they first join.
== Interface ==
Line 157 ⟶ 174:
While groups can be managed entirely via commands, there is also an in-game interface which can be brought up with the <code>/nl</code> command.
In this interface, the material of a chestplate correspond to a player's rank in a group. Leather is member, gold is mod, iron is admin, and diamond is owner or primary owner. An enchanted chestplate denotes
The first <code>/nl</code> screen is the overview screen, which shows all groups the player is a member of. Chestplate material denotes the player's rank in that group. Clicking on a chestplate will bring up the group screen.
The group screen shows all members of that group and their respective ranks.
