[Help]Same char. names

[BlooD-BoY]

well i have a problem with the "Char. making" thing, what i mean is...when a person register to my server, and then log in and stuff, make a char. but the char name is already in use, it would still let him make one....it won't show it on the database, and it will fuck both of em, because the guy that worked on his char. for a while will get his char. fucked up, it won't level and it will roll back every time he exit the game, and the other guy won't be able to log in cuz he doesn't have a char. well ok here's the code :

foreach (string Name in ExternalDatabase.ForbiddenNames)
                        {
                            if (CharName == Name)
                            {
                                ValidName = false;
                                break;
                            }
                        }



                        if (CharName.IndexOfAny(new char[3] { ' ', '[', ']' }) > -1)
                        {
                            ValidName = false;
                        }

                        if (CharName.Length > 10)
                        {
                            ValidName = false;
                        }

                        try
                        {
                            if (ValidName)
                            {
                                bool Success = InternalDatabase.CreateCharacter(CharName, Class, Model, Avatar, this);
                                if (Success)
                                    Console.WriteLine("New character: " + CharName);
                                Online = false;
                                MySocket.Disconnect();
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                Online = false;
                                MySocket.Disconnect();
                            }
                        }
                        catch
                        {
                            return;
                        }
                    }
                    break;

for some reason the

foreach (string Name in ExternalDatabase.ForbiddenNames)
                        {
                            if (CharName == Name)
                            {
                                ValidName = false;
                                break;
                            }
                        }

code doesnt work. i tried to change it to "Charr, CharName" and other stuff, but it still didn't work. the rest like "CharName.Length" works perfectly, i use StealArchers source which is PowerSource, so if any one could help me it would be great, thx =)

foreach (string Name in ExternalDatabase.ForbiddenNames)

Use your knowledge of english.
That line checks if the name is any of the ForbiddenNames,such as Tanel,LOTF,GM/PM, etc etc. So,you would have to make a new line,that checks all account names,and character names,hard to explain atm,short on time.
Hope it helped.

                        }

It's because there's a '~' in one of the char's names, and the server trys to split it by a '~'... Basically it f*k'z up if char's names have ~.

well then lets make a command for that :

                        if (CharName.IndexOfAny(new char[3] { ' ', '~', '~' }) > -1)
                        {
                            ValidName = false;
                        }

                        {
                            ValidName = false;

Oh wait D: I was sort of helping by fixing the code above my original post to disallow "~" =D
