Petbark Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Stupid question and I think I already know the answer so it is just to confirm what I think. I have a player that needs help to rename them selves. Is there away I can do the rename and it to hold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management gaoesa Posted March 3, 2013 Management Share Posted March 3, 2013 Unfortunately it is not possible. The !rename command only changes the name on the server end. The client cvars remain untouched. There isn't any other methods either. If the name needs to be something specific only on your server, then you could make a Lua script that would always, automatically, edit the userinfo of that player.

VAP.Ben Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 so only if player changes it in his cfg file it saves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckun Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) It would be good in future to maybe add a parameter to 'save' the !rename into the database so that GUID is stuck with that name...?

Management gaoesa Posted April 25, 2013 Management Share Posted April 25, 2013 That would be possible, but not in 0.7.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckun Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Sounds like a good addition for the future then I'm definitely in no hurry, but it would save me banning people for abusive names if I could 'force' their real and clean alias.

Dragonji Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) Wouldn't it be better if server was sending info packet about rename and the whole thing would be exec'ed on client side so server doesn't have to manipulate userinfo?

Chuckun Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) yep, got many time trouble people using our clan tags which arent in clan and such... For that there is an LUA script which denies certain names if the user doesnt have a certain level.. For example on our servers, anyone below level 11 (trial member), gets warned then kicked if they don't remove =F|A= from their name. But this rename suggestion is definitely useful either way - for people with very abusive names etc. Edited April 26, 2013 by Chuckun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
