[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #18653] Upper case first letter of player name
Follow-up Comment #5, bug #18653 (project freeciv): I really feel strongly that the current behaviour is bad, and should be reverted. A new reason is: I dump statistics to a database. The database does not have a user 'Akfaew', but 'akfaew'. I can use nickname, which remains 'akfaew', but won't it change during delegation, to the controling player? ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?18653 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #18653 (project freeciv): So, can this be reverted? I consider this a bug. There is no player named 'Dude'. Jacob, your nick would be displayed as 'Jtn', also incorrect, I presume. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?18653 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #18653 (project freeciv): I couldn't find a case where the username (as specified by -n on the command line or Login: in the client) case was munged, on a quick look. Can you give a specific reproduction case? The only possibility I can think of is the magic whereby if this username matches a leader name of a nation known to Freeciv, it will tend to pick that nation for the user in the absence of better ideas, and then the _leader_ name will tend to be an uppercased version. For instance if I freeciv-gtk2 -n caesar, I tend to end up being the Romans led by Caesar. I don't think this is new behaviour, but since new nations were added in 2.3, it could start triggering for usernames where it didn't before. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?18653 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #18653 (project freeciv): Ah... right. This appears to be a temporary player (leader) name invented during the pregame based on the connection (user) name, before a nation (and hence leader name) is chosen. This happens in server_player_set_name(), with the uppercasing in server_player_set_name_full(). ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?18653 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
