Hia

A "new" thing has started to show up in out hub, people using $ in there nicks.

I know that there is an option to "Check nick names" in ptax, but not sure how it works..

([[A-Z]{2}]) does this means no other then letters and numbers?, what if i wanna add something else like a
? ?

Many ppl using brackets [ ] like this -> [CS?]Deputy

Tnx :)

try this for $, it's a start:

Code Select

function NewUserConnected(sUser)
--	if strfind(sUser.sName, "$") then
	if strfind(sUser.sName, "%$") then
		sUser:SendData("Your nickname contains bad characters...")
		sUser:Disconnect()
	end
end

Hi,

The char "$" is a magical char used in strfind there for to not get some invalid data is best to use "%$" that search for a real "$".
