Rophs Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I evolved a grasan to lv3 and gave it the custom nickname "?" Its name appears as "????" in the creature page. How to replicate: 1) get a crit ready to lvup+nickname 2) put "?" in the nickname box 3) upgrade creature creature ID is 827305 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miq Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 ??? is bad also. Maybe replace it with default name when unsupported chars are used. lashtal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe replace it with default name when unsupported chars are used. I could probably just remove any chars it doesn't understand if you think that's best? The four question marks probably come from the fact the emoji is using a four byte uni code char and therefore turns to four question marks Opinions? Remove all non Latin chars?

Rophs Posted December 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) Give an error message if invalid chars are used, not allowing the creature to be upgraded. Edited December 28, 2016 by Rophs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipstickz Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/10051-rename-creatures/ Do the default one and this. Unless it would mess with tamable creatures, or there's some deeper reason not to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Muratus del Mur Posted December 28, 2016 Root Admin Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 all that needs to be done is change the db field to support utf8, and also save all related files in utf8, at least thats where i think the problem is. I think its a faster an easier solution than filtering out characters, plus allows certain freedom to how you name them. I don't want to encourage weird/fancy characters in crit names, i am just saying where the problem might be. Fang Archbane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethon Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Personally I feel that allowing emojis would belittle MD and also it's chat. It would definitely go against the style and look very messy and out of place. But that's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why the above solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
