Seeing other players name tags or coordinates

[RaZr]

Is it possible to see other players name tags or coordinates in tekkit SMP? Actually more accurately, HOW do

You see another players location? I know it's possible, because I have been hunted down several times, by a player who finally confessed he had some way of tracking me. And no, it's not that he was close by and see my

Name tag because I was near - this is from anywhere on the map. It's like he put a GPS in my back pocket.

As you can imagine this is against the rules on most servers, so I am just curious - can anyone think of a way that one player might be able to see other players names from across a whole map? Is this method avoidable? Are we ever untrackable?

Thanks for reading

I'm guessing it's a client-side mod that somehow extracts information from the server. Needless to say, most servers...don't like these, and will ban you for using them.

Yes, this was my initial thought, but after talking with the guy he claimed "it" was not a hacked or modded client, but rather, some system that "only he can use efficiently". Of course he can be lieing..

I suppose he could have come up with a waypointing system that helps him track other players' travel paths, but the latter is more likely. If it actually is just that he's that good...you're in trouble.
