Short words, creating a character

[hepy]

Hi, when i try to create a character and i use short words like "Go" i get this error:

The Player Name field must contain a valid string.

The thing is i need that it allows players to put short words in their names, cause is very used in spanish. I need that players can create character with names like "Go Asdasd".

any idea? thanks

Which version are you using?

 

[hepy]

latest rev

 

[Paxton]

Which trunk are you using? How did you download this version?

Because I don't really remember this kind of error message in v1 but exactly same in v2 which shouldn't be used for now.

However, nickname "Go" is wrong anyway? Isn't it too short?

yes i know but i want that players can use names like "El Cazador", and now they can choose only "Elcazador" or "Cazador" the problem is the word "El" cause is too short.
i download the complete trunk from the official modern svn, and i also updated a few days the new files because someone uploaded new edited files

The first sentence of name must have 3 letters.

search for:

        function nickname($str)
        {
                $a = explode(' ', $str);
                $error = 0;
                foreach($a as $b)
                        if(!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z]{3}+(([\'\-][a-zA-Z]{2})?[a-zA-Z]*)*$/", $b))
                                $error++;
                                
                return $error ? FALSE : TRUE;
        }

change to:

        function nickname($str)
        {
                $a = explode(' ', $str);
                $error = 0;
                foreach($a as $b)
                        if(!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z]{2}+(([\'\-][a-zA-Z]{2})?[a-zA-Z]*)*$/", $b))
                                $error++;
                                
                return $error ? FALSE : TRUE;
        }
