If ANY GID's are incorrect, they will be removed from sign-ups.

If ANY GID's are incorrect, they will be removed from sign-ups.

The GID "Rainbow Dash@forums", which you removed in this edit, is valid.

You can validate the GIDs easily by using my tournament-authority-generator.

You can validate the GIDs easily by using my tournament-authority-generator.

In past Tournaments, any GID that was signed up with just a space, would not be verified, GID with spaces always gives me an error.

like

Code: Select all

USER_LEVEL Cody <3@forums 7

is not valid but i have the account Cody <3

Also it seems like ct has a similar problem but not with spaces.

In the game all they have to type is username@ct and it will log them in.

BUT when signing up for a tournament, if they just do username@ct , there is an error and they do not get the proper User_level. the proper way for a ct member to use their GID is

Code: Select all

username@ct/rank

TBH its not a problem, its just people not knowing how to sign-up their actual GID account.

I used to have the same problem with my Poke' Master@forums account. I think a solution to it was once to do

Code: Select all

user_level Poke'\_Master@forums x

but then that suddenly stopped working. Dunno a permanent solution.

for config files Poke'\ Master@forums would perfectly work I think

The syntax of the USER_LEVEL command is "USER_LEVEL <gid> <level>"—<gid> and <level> are arguments to the USER_LEVEL command. To parse an argument the game looks for a sequence of characters that are not a space or ", OR a quoted section. In simple terms the argument either needs to be one word or quoted. For example:

• word@forums → doesn't need to quoted
• "this is now considered one argument@forums" → needs to be quoted, because it contains spaces
• "Contains spaces and \" a quote symbol@forums" → Because the argument is quoted, you need to add a backslash to tell the parser that the first " is a literal " character, and not the end of the quoted section.

If you've used a command-line, then you probably know about these rules. Otherwise, they aren't documented by the game so it's understandable if you are confused.

About your "Cody <3@forums" account—the issue with this GID is not that it contains spaces, but how phpBB stores the username in its database (the @forums authority is connected to the phpBB forum software). If you created a "Cody <3" account on @aagid, or @x it would work.

Now, consider a GID like "Poke' Master@forums". There's two ways you can use it as an argument to the USER_LEVEL command:

Code: Select all

USER_LEVEL "Poke' Master@forums" 7
USER_LEVEL Poke'\ Master@forums 7

In the first line, the GID is quoted. This is the most simple way to do it—use this method.

In the second line, the space is escaped manually by the user. This is more complex, just use the method from the first line.

Also it seems like ct has a similar problem but not with spaces.

In the game all they have to type is username@ct and it will log them in.

BUT when signing up for a tournament, if they just do username@ct , there is an error and they do not get the proper User_level. the proper way for a ct member to use their GID is

Code: Select all

username@ct/rank

TBH its not a problem, its just people not knowing how to sign-up their actual GID account.

If you used the tool I linked to in my previous post, if you give it a GID like "dlh@ct" it will get autocorrected to "dlh@ct/forums".

There's a lot of inconsistencies with GIDs. The subdirectory stuff that @ct and others do wasn't a well-thought out addition to authentication. Global IDs are supposed to be unique identifiers—group information shouldn't be a part of your GID. Authorities shouldn't be able to redirect your identity to a different identity. Adding a seperate group field would have been a more clean solution (we can still implement this). We could probably write a third installment of What Went Wrong in Armagetron about global IDs.

dlh to the rescue!!!!!!!

[Cody]

what would we do without dlh!!


Thanks! now I know how to implement GID with spaces.

Also USA Server selection is full, BUT Euro, is still accepting.

[Gonzap]

I guess the randomization will be actually random, am I guessing right?

[ElmosWorld]

PS. brackets are randomized for this tournament via IRC

[Cody]

Yes Queeny Gonzap, it will be randomized like the other tournaments and I hope you get put in the hardest circle, Bitch. xoxo
