Hello.

The rename limit on the sever is cool, but there are somme issues with it :/
When you rename more that 5 times your name didn't change on the game, exept that's still displayed in the log.

That's a bit embarassing for bots, because they'll thought your name is 'blah' but on the server that's still show your 5th name...

And also, when you disconnect that's will display your last nick you tried to set even if the server told you that's you can't rename any more.

I see your point, but honestly, is there EVER a reason to rename 5 times on a server?

Personally I love the sounds of this feature, it would help me in pugbot greatly. (long story)

I don't rename more ingame. I still keep my name. But some players do that. And that's an issue more for server admins (like me), not for normal players.

If you rename on the 6th time like "Youcantkickme" and then annoy me, that's will be annoying if I try to use !kick or !ban with your name because your 6th rename isn't displayed to other users but bot will thougt that's your name is "Youcantkickme".

Ahh, true, I see the issue with that. The feature itself is a great idea, just needs to have that bug worked out.

I think this is a anticheat feature, some cheat's change his nick's to others players in server automatically (If my nick is Drizzt the cheater change her nick a Drizt or similar, and this creates confusion between players). This feature, auth-system and notoriety it's a good idea against cheaters (it's not the same that anticheat but it's the first step).

/for fun:
cant wait until the server where i have rcon is updated to 4.2, just to try the force_name_change file xD

I don't think because :
1 - There's no relation with other players nicknames (that's works on empty servers too)
2 - If My name is Blapecool on the server and then some looser rename as blapecool too, an underscore with the slot number is added to the name. (like 4.1)

EDIT : That's seems not working for point 2 :/

Do you've never played on a public server without admins and a cheater switching the nick every 5 seconds? Including with admins, if they are not aware of cheating, may end kick / banning the wrong player. :/

Some 4.1 server's has a admin bot (B3 or other's, i don't remember now), with plugin that have this feature, it's not new.

Your question it's about bot's, maybe FS can allow multiple nickname's for bot's, but this feature i think is for prevent troubles against some cheaters.

Anyway, i don't think that something need's change his nickname more 5 times for play. Of course, this is only my opinion.

P.S. Yes, i know my english sucks, sorry :(

Hi,
in the same way of this topic, but a step farther.
I renamed 6 times on a server (ok it's bad), got the message of error and after that, got problem with my weapon bind.
The bind for chose differents "pack of weapon", instead of go menu, worked but the message ERROR appear ; like Blapecool problem.
Don't know if it's the bot or urt's code but i've got this.

Anyway, like this version, hits are so better!

Because, when you change your sets of weapons, your clients sends all your info again (Name, guid...) and so it send the last name you set with "/name" and the server understand that as a name change try too because you ingame name displayed is different of your name set by /name

You haven't understand the problem. I'm a server admin.

When you do more than 5 "/name" you can't change your name any more, right ? That's good. But if you continue to try changing your name THAT STILL LOGED on the server log even the new name isn't accepted. So the bot continue thinking the player is changing his name but he still have his 5th name ingame and when you'll try to do something like !kick with the player name that's wont work because for the bot he's not named with the ingame name.
