You need to modify the default scoreboard resource in order to replace the name shown by the actual name of the account used by the player.

can you explain more?
i need to add some code lines or i need to change some configs?

 

[Galactix]

function setNickToAccount()
  local account = getPlayerAccount(source)
  local accountName = getAccountName(account)
  setPlayerName(source, accountName)
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", setNickToAccount)

Put this in any script and you should have the result expected.

  end
  addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", getRootElement(), setNickToAccount)
 
  addEventHandler("onPlayerChangeNick", getRootElement(), 
    function() 
        cancelEvent();

You are adding event handler wrong, change the last line to addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", root, setNickToAccount), please look at addEventHandler page on wiki, it explains why you use an element at argument 2.

You seem like a new scripter, so one more thing...  Check IIYAMA's topic where he explains the element tree, it is very useful.
