[Question]: Can you change the nickname? #11

Closed ZoranaDragon closed 2 months ago

ZoranaDragon commented 1 year ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

Description of the bug

Is there a way to change the nickname so it's not a jumble of random lowercase letters? It's not necessarily important but it'd be nice to have it use the names on the save files if possible.

Steps To Reproduce

This box is required to fill out and I'm not sure how to do something other than a bug report to ask this. Sorry, this is my first time using Github for this.

yes you have to go into the lua file and change the value of "local Nickname" to what you want your nickname to be. beware though that other users (#1) are experiencing connection problems when using custom nicknames. my friend and I weren't able to use nicknames or else we would get that time out bug.

Go to Server.lua And Copy Code Of Line From 21633 To 21635. Go To Client.lua Line 21529 And Paste Code You Copied Earlier. Go To Line 3 And Put Whatever You Want Like You Can In Server.lua(Please Note The 4 Letter Requirment) I'm Trying To Push Beyond 4 Letters But It Didn't Worked Out Yet, I'll Reply Again If I Push Beyond.

The clients for some reason cannot have custom nicknames, it always gets randomized regardless..

@televisionia , I literally told how to do that in my previous comment and also mentioned 4 Letter Requirement.

@mastercuber55 wait, copying and pasting the server functions to the client script fixes the issue? You should find out how that works and make a PR fixing the issue.

I actually tried this cuz I understood what was going on and here it is simplified for you

In server file it randomizes the nickname if nickname is ""(nothing) and in the client file it randomizes the nickname without checking anything.

Btw I'm not sure what " PR" means.

@mastercuber55 PR stands for pull request, sorry for the confusion.

mastercuber55 commented 4 months ago

@televisionia Sorry but idk how to do that, its simple so you may do it yourself though.

as long as it is 4 letters in Alpha 3.0 then it will work.
