Multiplayer nicknames!

Multiplayer nicknames!

Postby the real slayer » 23 January 2016, 00:30

There are a couple of bugs with nicknames in mulltplayer!

1)First of all sometimes when a player leaves or comes instead of displaying his name at the bottom of the screen it says:
[e]gt[,] or something! I don't know what triggers that to be honest! Here's what I mean: http://prntscr.com/9tkxjq

2)In addition to this at random times at the right corner of the screen displays "Empty has left the game" (usually when you create a game.)

3)Also if you enter a game while another player is chatting instead of their nickname I think his skin's name will show up rather than his nickname! For example: These are the people included in a random match I've entered: http://prntscr.com/9tkw61 And here is what show up when I joined: http://prntscr.com/9tkwje

All of these seem weird to me! Anyways that's all for now!

The [e]gt[,] thing happens when there's certain symbols in a player's name. The game can't understand it and it'll write it out on text form instead.

I've been seeing the first thing you mentioned since 2011. "Empty has left the game", I first saw that in 2014. These aren't huge bugs and they can be ignored, but yes, it would be nice if they weren't present in the first place. As far as I know there's nothing you can do to get around these things, the first is caused by certain symbols in somebody's nickname and I don't even know about the second.

"Empty has left the game" could appear when a spectator leaves the match, just from what I've heard.

NNC, I think that was the previous cause of the bug, but now when somebody is spectating it says "assasinguy is spectating" for example, and it tells you when they've left as well, so the bug shouldn't appear any more.

The first one is caused when a user puts '>>>>>>>>>>>>>>' in their nickname.

Never seen the second one myself.

The 3rd one is caused due to lag. Well whenever I start lagging hardcore and I enter matches, that happens but their names go back to normal after a couple of minutes.

1)what @Silent Aurora said
2)this aprears when sometimes you start a vote to changes the ping limit
3)thats not a bug when you a enter a game the game needs 1-2 sec to load the names of the players the reason why you see the bot names is the chat sent to early.

I have seen those names before, it could be the cause that if the player has a VERY long name or something it would most likely come out as that in Multiplayer. Thats all I can say about them.

I think Skin names are caused by that what your game recieves (im a nooby programist). Look here: http://prntscr.com/9w46br
i know im shitty art maker , he sends his MSG right on connection , before you got in game , you enter on half of his message duration , so game thinks that an NPC written that. Easy to understand but hard to tell.
