FS#3956 - Allowing apostrophies or dashes in names
Not sure if this is possible, but seeing as how the names are treated more as actual names and less as usernames, I believe there should be some support for apostrophes or dashes in names.
For instance (some common fictional apostrophized names)
Teal’c
T’Pol
Kal-El
Jor-El
Perhaps if the apostrophized version of names are only for “display purposes”, so if you see someone named T’Lara, their name is stored as a “key” in the database as tlara, and people can access their name (for instance with /tell) using Tlara, but for display purposes, their name shows up as T’Lara.
Not important, just a thought…
I like it. I think we are getting in a script where this is a possibility soon that will add that and make it possible to use non-english letters (like æ ø å) in chat. However I'm not that sure that the letters should be allowed in names, but definetly the ' and - should
I would allow ' - and _ (where underscore can be displayed as space in chat and underscore in system messages)
i disagree on this and the npc names should be fixed too.
If implemented we should limit to max 1 special character?
