Teleporter Overhead Text
See portal tags from a distance — floating 3D text above each teleporter shows the name you set.
When you walk near a portal, Teleporter Overhead Text draws the tag in world space above the frame so you can tell where it goes without hovering. Labels update when you rename a portal, and they hide when walls block your view.
- Floating 3D text above wood and stone portals
- Color presets, custom RGB, and RGB cycle modes
- Line-of-sight and distance checks (no wall-hack names)
- Press Page Up to show or hide labels (changeable in config)
- Client-side only — no server install required

Notes
Labels sit above the portal mesh (including Portal Stone). With RequireLineOfSight on, names stay hidden through walls and closed gates. The ToggleKey only flips visibility while you play — it does not rewrite the Enabled config entry. Toggle is ignored while console, chat, or text input is focused.
