What client are you using ?

[quesoph 105]

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..

[quesoph 105]

Lets wait for TS to report back.

[evilpuncker 504]

actually they are using hidden characters like alt+255

[Amalgam 1]

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

 

I use 2010-07-30RagRE.

[Jedzkie 58]

Yeah, they making it on notepad then copy paste.

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

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? o_O

[Amalgam 1]

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

[iZeal 5]

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 1]

They are using notepad. ALready tried and it works.

[evilpuncker 504]

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

[Angelmelody 221]

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.

I tried this one also..

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..

Yes, since alt+255 acts like space.

my alt+255 was just an example, there are way more characters that are invisible and players use to bypass this

ALT+255 shouldn't pass the checking  click

 

255 -->alt+255

[iZeal 5]

alt+0160 is also invisible I tried and character creation denied.
