for i = 0, 255 do
  if NetworkIsPlayerActive(i) and i ~= PlayerId() then
    local ped = GetPlayerPed(i)

    -- change the ped, because changing player models may recreate the ped
    if not mpGamerTags[i] or mpGamerTags[i].ped ~= ped then
      local nameTag = ('%s [%d]'):format(GetPlayerName(i), GetPlayerServerId(i))

      if mpGamerTags[i] then
        RemoveMpGamerTag(mpGamerTags[i].tag)
      end

      mpGamerTags[i] = {
        tag = CreateMpGamerTagWithCrewColor(i, nameTag, false, false, '', 0, 0, 0, 0),
        ped = ped
