halo2pac Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Hey guys, I was wondering... how do nicknames work in game? Are they like counter strike or like westwood online? and if its like westwood online and someone decides to be an arse and steal our legitimate unique name is there a way for mods to repeal the douchbaggery?

DrummerX Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 i don't remember how westwood did things but i know how it works with the source engine. you can have DrummerX and no one else can have it, but there is a work around with alt codes to mimic DrummerX just the way it is. With unreal, alt codes dont' work, last i checked so you won't need to worry about people stealing your name. so you can be "halo2pac" and no one less can. One thing people can do and have done is done the whole "halo2pac_" etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff kenz3001 Posted September 16, 2010 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted September 16, 2010 at the moment you can use the game spy login for UT3 and will set your nick to your game spy login nick, or if you do not use the login your nick will become "Player###" but you can change it in game by hitting TAB and typing in "setname nickname", if you do not use the game spy login you can not save settings people can use your nick in game as long as it is not being used at the time (your not on the server) ... this happend to me where a hacker came in with a bot and killed me about 50 times in a row and messed my death/kill ratio up , i just hope there will be a serial or login in the standalone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo2pac Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 well thats kinda gay. I bet i could make a ip based login system for nicks like A Path Beyond does. but i dont think the admins would let me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Buzzer's bot has a nick protection function, but it was never released. If there's a lot of abuse going on he might release it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woandre Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Tbh, he should release BEFORE it get's abused. I don't know why you would let people use any name....It's very annoying, esp when people are banned etc It shouldn't be to hard to get accounts locked with Name & Password anyway right...?
