NameChangeDeed

[lincy]

Today, one of my player page me say the NameChangeDeed didn't work. So, I look in to the code. Then I found ..................................................

Ok, Anyway, before my player crying for lots token weast (hmmm, because .......you know. ) , I am try to complete this NameChangeDeed.

Install :

Just replace your exist NameChangeDeed.cs come from clean RunUO 1.0RC0 build. (Better backup it, before you do this).

Have Fun !!!

PS: This version support English and Traditional Chinese prompt. You can extend it to support more language very easy.



== Update 01 =============
Add some check (very few, but ...... better then not thing)..
just replace exist file.

hmm, you're not checking at all the name content, and wether or not it's allowed (containing forbidden strings and stuff like that), basicaly a player could rename to "GM xxx" i think. and maybe do some even nastier things.
- dont know if it's needed or not, but you're not checking the length of the name either.
i'm not home so i can't access my scripts. but if u need i can give a quick fix later.

Hi, to add some controls for name change, I try like this.

using System;
using Server.Network;
using Server.Prompts;
using Server.Mobiles;
using Server.Misc;
using Server.Items;

namespace Server.Items
{
public class NameChangeDeed : Item
{

[Constructable]
public NameChangeDeed() : base( 0x14F0 )
{
base.Weight = 1.0;
base.Name = "a name change deed";
}

public NameChangeDeed( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
{
}

public override void Serialize( GenericWriter writer )
{
base.Serialize( writer );

writer.Write( (int) 0 ); // version
}

public override void Deserialize( GenericReader reader )
{
base.Deserialize( reader );

int version = reader.ReadInt();
}

public override void OnDoubleClick( Mobile from )
{
if ( !IsChildOf( from.Backpack ) )
{
from.SendLocalizedMessage( 1042001 ); // That must be in your pack for you to use it.
}
else
{
from.SendMessage( "Enter your desired name." );
from.Prompt = new RenamePrompt( from );
this.Delete();
}
}

private class RenamePrompt : Prompt
{
private Mobile m_from;

public RenamePrompt( Mobile from )
{
m_from = from;
}

public override void OnResponse( Mobile from, string text )
{
text = text.Trim();
if ( !NameVerification.Validate( text, 3, 16, true, false, true, 0, NameVerification.SpaceDashPeriodQuote ) ) return;

from.Name = text;
from.SendMessage( "You will be hence forth known as {0}", text );
}
}
}
}

well, I don't care what player will change their name. But, yes, you are right. Do more some name check was an good way.

PS:because all my player are local player. so...... they only use very sample name. ex. NBA, NOKIA, NEC, SONY, CAR, GO GO GO ,I am newbid, Yahoo, Julia, David..... heeee
