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

 

Here is a screenshot

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..

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

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.

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..

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
