This problem didn't exist in the 2089 core but once I started using 34083 my players kept getting really long names like "ooooooooommmmmmmmmmmgggg" and "KissOfDeathAndSweetNight".

Thanks to Shogun, HaveBeen™ and PACIFICADOR for quest edit and MySQL query.

Go to the player database and player table and run this query:

SELECT name FROM player WHERE CHAR_LENGTH(name) > 12;

This will show you all the names that are longer than the maximum that can be typed into a PM window.

 

Go and edit all their names to something, I set all the names to "ShortName1", "ShortName2", "ShortName3" and so on. I dumped a list of names and player IDs so that players can be given a free name change scroll, and the log of player IDs will  ensure that nobody renames to these names to receive a free one. If you have several players with long names it may be better to just credit all their accounts with what's necessary for the name change item.

 

Here's the updated quest to prevent users from selecting long names (tested and works):

quest change_name_item begin
    state start begin
        function isLongName(name)
            return string.len(name) < 13
        end
        when 71055.use begin
            say_title("Change of Name List")
            if pc.is_married() then
                say("")
                say("You can't change names when you're married.")
                say("")
                return
            elseif pc.is_polymorphed() then
                say("")
                say("You can't change names when you're transformed.")
                say("")
                return
            elseif pc.has_guild() then
                say("")
                say("You can't change names when you're in a guild.")
                say("")
                return

[DevelopeR 0]

Well the erro is one

 

say("")

                say("Unknown error.")

                say("Please notify Rumor with this number:")

                say(ret)

                say("and he will take a look at the issue."

 

 

Somthing like: Unknown error. Please notify Rumor with this number: 5 ... like that!

[Rumor 2536]

Well the erro is one

 

say("")

                say("Unknown error.")

                say("Please notify Rumor with this number:")

                say(ret)

                say("and he will take a look at the issue."

 

 

Somthing like: Unknown error. Please notify Rumor with this number: 5 ... like that!

 

well, no.. there's nothing wrong with that.. it's returning whatever it can return because it's a miscellaneous error. The guy is saying he has a problem but not explaining what the problem is ^^. It does for sure work the way it's shown in this thread.

[DevelopeR 0]

I have this erro to.. put the diff. for the function

[Rumor 2536]

what do you mean you "have this error too" ? Nobody else has "this error" or any error as far as I know.. atleast nobody has said they have some error related to that part of the quest, or anywhere at all in the quest. You and the other guy are really hard to understand because you don't really make sense with your replies. I tested this and it works fine, and 6 people have changed their names since I've added this updated version of the quest to my server.

00173933: FA 00

This should help 34k pc.change_name fix.

 

On LC_isEurope it always returns 5

 

IDA HexRays pseudocode.

if ( (unsigned __int8)LC_IsEurope(a1, 0) )
{
    lua_pushnumber(a3, 5.0);
}

Kind Regards

Oh, that's right, change_name is disabled in Gameforge locales

[Rumor 2536]
