Author Topic: preventing identical name (Read 386 times)

Legacy_Cursed Eclipse · « **on:** December 14, 2011, 08:57:37 am »

               Hi, a month ago I received an old module (2007).
I hosted it and works very well except for the fact that players can create multiple pc with the same name.
This gives rise to a problem that I would like to avoid.

This module use nwnx and mySQL.

I'm not a scripter,and I do not know how to do it,and do not know anyone who can do it for me.
Anyone could help me?

               A new character will always have 0xp, check for 0xp in OnEnter, Set 1 XP and then do things for new player. Whether or not is his name unique can be found via saving the names of all characters into database. Well depends what exact problem you are dealing with there are plenty of options. So describe the issue a bit detailed and so I can suggest something.

I do this already.

if(GetXP(oPC) == 0 )//new
{
//do stuff

i think is this line of code...but i reapeat i'm not a scripter,are just an old player who is very familiar with the bug of this game, that would not be exploitable.

For my experience like a player is a big problem instead.
If someone create a char whit same name,body,voice,portraits ecc ecc at the next login
can apply 2 times the bonus of subrace. And that is my problem.

Anyway...let me repeat my request,just to make sure that I explained well (i'm not english speaker man)

I would like to have an on enter script that checks for same-named characters in the server vault or database (I use mysql,and I have absolutely no understanding of database scripting) and if it finds one, set char like not valid.

ot
p.s
ahh ShadoOow,forgot to make you my congratulations for the work that you are released on the vault in recent years.
Using already many of your fixes in my module (exploit of throwing weapon for example) and are very useful. thx. '^_^'

Then subrace script must be placed in the section for new characters only. I mean, right you can via database disallow creating a second character with the same name, but the issue still remains and players might find a way how to deal with your script that checks is the name is unique so I think its best to fix the subrace if possible.

Can you post your full OnEnter script?

forgot to say,i use DAR II
for subrace.

EDIT
ShadoOow,a player told me that the subrace do not work very well,In fact, the bonuses are not always applied ,i supposed is because the leto plugin is no longer supported...(??)
I'm sorry for the mistake, but the tests I had done had gone well.
I do not know what happened, I'm still investigating.
Now I try to put Shayan as subrace system, and then let you know if the problem persists.

but the issue still remains and players might find a way how to deal with your script that checks is the name is unique

This means that there is another way to bypass the check of subrace?

EDIT
ShadoOow,a player told me that
the subrace do not work very well,In fact, the bonuses are not always
applied ,i supposed is because the leto plugin is no longer
supported...(??)
I'm sorry for the mistake, but the tests I had done had gone well.
I do not know what happened, I'm still investigating.
Now I try to put Shayan as subrace system, and then let you know if the problem persists.

This is due the way how letoscript work. It can fail sometimes but the subrace scripts should be robust enough to take care of this issue and make sure the ability bonuses will be readded next logout.

Letoscript is no longer supported by developer however it still works and many scripts on vault still uses it.

To the script, it seems to be correct. Maybe there is a bug how a player BIC file is generated, if your current subrace system generates it from name that might be the issue. However its just a guess.

So back to your original request:

#include "aps_include"

void main()
{
object oPC = GetEnteringObject();
string varname = GetPCPlayerName(oPC)+"_NAMES";
string sNames = GetPersistentString(GetModule(),varname);
string sName = GetName(oPC)+"|";
if(FindSubString(sNames,sName) > -1)
{
//This name is used already!!
BootPC(oPC);
}
else
{
SetPersistentString(GetModule(),varname,sNames+sName);
}
}

This should make sure player wont use same names, however untested might also have some issue (in this case other scripters out there will hopefully correct me).

               A better solution (though it would involve rejigging the scripts and the database) would be to not use the player's name as the unique identifier. In my module, I set the PC's tag to a unique string to identify him in the database. I can then use that string to represent the PC on any number of MySQL tables.

It work very well.
This code is what I asked for, thanks a lot.

I might also add the cdkey at the name,in order to create a unique id.
Is another good idea. thx
