Can't Color Black
« on: May 10, 2007, 02:25:10 am »
Hey I'm trying to color my name and all of the colors work fine except black. When I type ^0 everything disapears and I can't see what I'm typing and I presume it's becaue it's on a black background, but when I look at the player list all the black parts appear usually white or some other color..or not there at all sometimes. What's wrong it the color black?!? =P

a lot of people don't like black names, they are a huge pain to try to read, and quite a few servers have put up patches removing black from names completely.

// don't allow black in a name, period

That function doesn't actually do too well at removing black from names. Other non-standard versions do better, but they also don't properly enforce all of the constraints there are supposed to be on user names (the rules about spaces can be circumvented especially easily).
Need help? Ask intelligently. Please share solutions you find.

Thats what we need, helpful players, not more powerful admins.
