Less than 4 character name

[Amalgam]

Can anybody help me to fix this? I saw some players having only 1 character name.

Here is a screenshot

How can I fix this?

What client are you using ?

 

[quesoph]

Don't include this "Disable 4 Letter UserCharacter Limit" when you hex your client.

I encountered this stuff years ago, even i didn't include this diff, some players can still do this..

Lets wait for TS to report back.

 

[evilpuncker]

actually they are using hidden characters

like alt+255

 

[Amalgam]

Yeah, I didn't include it also in my diff.

I use 2010-07-30RagRE.

Ohh.. You can't prevent that ATM, if there are mod's that can make a souce to prevent this again, well i'm very very thankful for that :3

How about a script check?

Script check wont work because the script only initiate when the player is logged in.

I am curious..
 
../conf/char-server.conf
 
 

// Manage possible letters/symbol in the name of charater. Control character (0x00-0x1f) are never accepted. Possible values are:// NOTE: Applies to character, party and guild names.// 0: no restriction (default)// 1: only letters/symbols in 'char_name_letters' option.// 2: Letters/symbols in 'char_name_letters' option are forbidden. All others are possibles.char_name_option: 1// Set the letters/symbols that you want use with the 'char_name_option' option.// Note: Don't add spaces unless you mean to add 'space' to the list.char_name_letters: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890
 
Would this still allow alt + 255?
 
@edit
 
It does. >.< it would appear as " ? ".
 
It would deny creation if you change this line

char_name_letters: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890
to this

char_name_letters: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890

Removing Spaces can prevent this problem?

 

[Amalgam]

If you set it like that the character name with space will also be denied.

 

[iZeal]

that's weird maybe someone's messing with your sql database., because I tried it numerous times I couldn't reproduce the same name.

 

[Amalgam]

They are using notepad. ALready tried and it works.

 

[evilpuncker]

noone can mess with database with that since names are escaped in source

 

[Angelmelody]

Have you ever thought about those characters were the other country's charset not installed in your OS ?

I have ever experienced this kind of issues , if player use Japanese characters I cant see his/her name.

 

[iZeal]

They are using notepad. ALready tried and it works.

I tried this one also..

noone can mess with database with that since names are escaped in source

what i meant was someone must be accessing he's database like co-dev or that character was owned by someone he knew or has access with such and just edits he's normal character to bring headaches..

Removing Spaces can prevent this problem?

 Yes, since alt+255 acts like space.
