my friend Fang (who is banned but saw this and wanted to help you) says that it's in the character creation file and to look for where it checks to see if it's a valid name.

also, here is his email: ill PM you his email.

Go to GameClient.cs and go to the bottom of that cs file. You will see something like
Code:
public bool ValidName(string Name)
{
            if (Name.IndexOfAny(new char[15] { ' ', '~', '[', ']', '#', '*', '\\', '/', '<', '>', ':', '"', '|', '?', '='}) > -1) //this is all windows folder invalids characters
            {
                return false;
            }
            else
            {
                return true;
            }
        }
Thats where you change the special characters that are not allowed

Code:
        public bool ValidName(string name)
        {
            foreach (char ch in name)
            {
                byte c = Convert.ToByte(ch);
                if (!
                    ((c >= 48 && c <= 57) || 
                    (c >= 65 && c <= 90) || 
                    (c >= 97 && c <= 122))
                    )
                    return false;
            }
            return true;
        }

Can use a regular expression.
Code:
public bool ValidName(string Name) 
{
    return !new Regex("[^a-zA-Z0-9]").IsMatch(Name);
}

None of your codes worked.. still cant create a char with special characters ;)

at the /accounts form it doesnt show the special characters.... but in the \Character folder it does...

do wat matty said...go to gameclient.cs

find:

Code:
public bool ValidName(string Name)
and replace ur whole void with mine LOL easiest thing u can do...(I just commented mine wasnt anything hard)

Code:
/*public bool ValidName(string Name)
        {
            if (Name.IndexOfAny(new char[15] { ' ', '~', '[', ']', '#', '*', '\\', '/', '<', '>', ':', '"', '|', '?', '='}) > -1) //this is all windows folder invalids characters
            {
                return false;
            }
            else
            {
                return true;
            }
        }*/
and then do what .Arco said above me.

not hard ^_^.

Code:
public bool ValidName(string Name)
Right click on valid name and click "Find All References", you will be given a list of all places where that method is used. Then double click each place on the list to be taken to it and remove it.

Still don't work for me o.o

I'm getting error on that line

Code:
                FileStream FS = new FileStream(@"C:\OldCODB\Users\Characters\" + C.Name + ".chr", FileMode.Open);

... maybe it can't read the special character?
08/28/2010 22:15 Arcо#13
That's exactly WHY that check is needed.
08/29/2010 11:47 2087#14
Ahh i see!
So am i right that it doenst work at all ? :P

What exception do you receive from it?

If its ArgumentException, then its because of invalid characters in the path.
