player name exploit

Open weaponcubemap opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

if you will use "%", "~", "#", your name will be "unnamed" if use on other names with different symbols, these symbols won't show up on your player name

isn't it linked to the language system ?

Those symbols are omitted on purpose # is probably for language yeah, and % ~ are likely due to how names are handled internally, to avoid exploits.

I don't see this as an exploit, just a minor inconvenience to the average player.

But these symbols could be used by players in their nicknames?
