Saving the DATA

[sewulba]

Hi...

I don´t know if I am right here, but I will try it!
I run a Armagetronad-Dedicated Version 0.2.8.2.1! The stats are stored, when I play with the Name 0x656565Gentoo, in the form:

Code: Select all

gentoo

and not

Code: Select all

0x656565Gentoo

why are the colour-code filtered?
I have written a Statsscript that is able to make the Colour-code visible in Browser!
How can I manage, that Aramagetronad-Dedicated stores the players in correct form?

Because color codes are not officially part of your user name. They are merely tolerated as part of your screen name, but in anticipation of authentication, are filtered out. Imagine what happens once we have authentication and someone else is allowed to register as user 0x646464Gentoo.

Okay. But in the versons before it was much better. Because now 0x646464Gentoo is the same as 0x112233gentoo. So they make my stats down.
Ist there no easy way for me to change this on my Server? i don´t want to run 0.2.8.0! Is it made in C? So say me where it is and I try to fix it for me!

It's in ePlayer.cpp somewhere, UpdateName() perhaps. Look for where it sets userName_.
