Valve about about fixing this? Fixing the existing bells and whistles is a lot more important to many of us than adding new bells and whistles. Prevent ", ', and other illegal characters from being used in player names. Seems like a simple enough request. Although to fix it right you are going to need to address it in the Steam friends/community interface too, since this is where people customize their player names. Have it validate the player name the player tries to set and TELL them "sorry your player name contains illegal characters, please remove this character and try again". > Cheers, > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Reid > Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2008 7:48 PM > To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Cant Kick Players with Quotes in their names > > Last I checked, this applied to names with "" and () > > We noticed it on a TF2 server in early February when people were showing no > steamid for "status". > > Dave > > > -----Original message----- > >>> I use HLSW and RCON but i am unable to kick any player with quotes in >>> their >>> names. >>> >>> Also if they have quotes in their names i am unable to see thier global >>> > ID > >>> (Steam ID) >>> > > > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > please visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux > > > > _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
