Restrict Character Names...

[Adrian Kristensn]

Just minor stuff I've noticed.

• I don't think you should be able to use special characters in the name
• There should be some intelligence behind the join multiplayer IP field
• The Bell in front of the school in Evergrind can be hit, but does not make a sound

Why that`?

 

[Adrian Kristensn]

Doesn't make sense to name a character ;;; imo.

The school bell is on their list. I asked them a while ago and it's one of those things that don't sit very high on the priority list.

 

[Adrian Kristensn]

Hehe, kind of figures.

 

[Hobo]

With players all over the world and several numerous languages I think the freedom to choose any name we want is a good thing, I might want to call my character Façade, but can't because of ç

as for the validation behind the IP Field, I noticed since a frontline version or two ago, it no longer crashes with invalid IPs (such as copying the persons name from skype with the datestamp instead of just the IP )

Hmm. I'm as annoyed as Adrian is by dumb names but I think Hobo makes the better point. Also, if I see somebody named ;;';' in the MP lobby I think I'll just move along... lol.

By allowing people to name themself ;;;, you have a clear flag for players to avoid.
