★ Purge Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 but most MMOs are like that. it's practically impossible to walk into Gunbound or something with a username like "sock". perhaps Continuum can start user creation on a website and perhaps add some suggestions if a name is already taken (like other MMOs do). but this would obviously require the client to be edited.
🜲 PoLiX Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Well, through some php and ajax, it could be done. As someone types in a username, it tries logging in through a php script, and depending on error received, it can decide if name is taken or not, just to give em a hand. 1 of many things we could do.

Incomplete Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Yeah if someone new signed up and it wouldnt let them in because of the name then how are they suppose to know. Should say that name is taken, alternatives are blah blah08 etc... -Lucozade kentbrockm> what is team tournament?pernille> like 2v2 kentkentbrockm> ahkentbrockm> wanna be my partner, pern?pernille> lolpernille> i suckkentbrockm> good habbit for a gal your age.Autofire> lolExplody Th> Omg kent------------------------------------------------------Incomplete> ?find MikeTheNoseMikeTheNose is in SSCC Metal Gear CTF------------------------------------------------------MikeTheNose> ?find IncompleteNot online, last seen more than 10 days ago My Profile

Ghetto D Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 I just downloaded cont. again, and reinstalled after reformatting, and a good number of the default zones were red, I think we also need to think about keeping the default list up to date. -Sysop, Co-Owner - SSCC Star Wars Empire
Hakaku Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 but most MMOs are like that. it's practically impossible to walk into Gunbound or something with a username like "sock".Yeah but the difference is, that Continuum says you entered the wrong password, not that the username is already taken. Most games have a registration form, not a direct login, so they'll tell you if the name is available or not. Not only that, SSC's name database is far older than any other game, and if you attempt to log in too many times (aka sign up/in), Continuum tells the user to try again in a few hours.People generally don't read the content of the error, so they get frustrated and don't understand, and eventually they give up on the game (it's happened to a friend of mine when he tried downloading the game to play). Anyhow, Polix/Sama's suggestion would be good. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v138/zacinu/SubSpacebannt2.pngPSPACE (SourceForge) - Alternative client (source) to Continuum
★ Purge Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 yeah, that is true. I guess it can be interpreted as a mistake or a lack of even checking the difference between a wrong password and a taken username.
★ doc flabby Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) I have talked to a friend about making an installer for me. It will generate a random default# username, ranging from default1 to default999999, and seed a random password. The installer i made around a year ago did that...(it had some bug thos however, i nevre got round to fixing) I can probably dig it up if it would be helpful. The original topic was deleted by spyed i think... i did post on tw tho. http://forums.trenchwars.org/showthread.ph...light=installer One of the graphic artists here could create an awesume splash screen, instead of the current crappy looking one.

★ Purge Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 I personally disable the splash. it gets quite annoying. perhaps change the sound, too.
🜲 Samapico Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 I don't think the splash can be animated, though http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg/120px-Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg.pngDCME co-developerSSCU 17th Parallel sysop
