[Fixed] Duplicate names

Post by Cam » Sun Aug 19, 2018 7:50 pm

There's two Cams! I noticed that the playerlist has a [2] next to the other one, but the chat window doesn't

First two are me, last his him:

Question, if he is on the server and I join back, will I instead be Cam[2]?

Might also be a good idea to put the [2] in the chat window name as well because there's no way to distinguish who's talking right now

Nope.. you were the first Cam on the server so you will remain the original.

(This area is a delicate one as the nicks are now feeding off the Steam 'Persona Names' which are easily changeable (whereas before all the game systems relied on a username generally remaining unchanged for a particular account) - this caused me a huge amount of pain and suffering c. May 2018, and - up till now - i've been quite chuffed, and somewhat amazed, that it all seemed to work as expected.. :] )

I believe I've fixed the incorrect name showing in chat in the next client and server updates, which will be rolled out in the morning.

to confirm.. that was me, checking some stuff out :).
This stuff should all be fixed in 0.74.0.6
