Hi guys!
Now, before when the username was the ID of a player, a player could say type in a command such as /addfriend [playername] but now it's not unique and can change, so the UID has to be used. Can anyone think of a way to simplify this for users? Asking a user to type in a UID seems like its not going to work in practice. /addfriend [9129138053209236023093] just seems too "unfriendly".
Any thoughts, ideas guys? I'm a little stumped at the moment. 
I think the game will do the conversion ? for your example, the player who you want to be friend is unique at the time you do the command. so /addfriend playername can be interpreted by the game, witch convert the name into the playerid ? so you don't have to worry about that.
Thanks botchikii, I'll go see if that works.
Otherwise do you know if we have API access to add to this menu? Would be great to add an option in there "Add as Friend"
On another note, what does "invite to group" actually do? I've played around with it but it doesn't seem to do anything?

As @botchikii said, it's safe to use the player name if it's only about players who are currently connected to the server 
Every user still uses a unique name, e.g. if a player "Testplayer" is already on the server and another "Testplayer" joins, he will be renamed to "Testplayer (1)" etc.

Unfortunately there is no way to add new options to the dialog, but this would be a great idea! Maybe post this in the API suggestion section so this feature does not fall into oblivion

Well basically the game maintains "temporary groups", so players in the same group cannot hurt each other. But this feature is apparently broken... we will rework it in the near future!
