RenamePet for players

[A_Li_N]

Read a thread in the script help forum and decided to do this...didn't take all that long.

This is a RenamePet command for players. It allows the player to rename their pet to whatever they want, within limits. The limits are currently almost identicle to the NameVerification.cs with slight differences. You may add/change what you want the players to be able to rename to by simply going into the script and adding/subtracting from the 3 different arrays. Comments are next to each array telling what the array limits. There's also a comment down the script where you can change min/max name lengths.

Usage :
[RenamePet Name Of Pet Here

Spaces and other characters allowed.

Tested minimally, but should be just fine (compiles and doesn't allow the names it's not sposed to). Not much room for bugs I dont think. Please post any you find though!

Enjoy!

PS: And if anyone was wondering why I put the different strings in this file....I like to edit the base files as little as possible

What is the difference between using this, and renaming the pet via the name/health gump?

Well with runuo you cant put spaces or special characters in that health bar, so with this you can.

A_Li_N to better optimize this script it would be cool if you coul add a gump that has special characters for people who dont know how to make special characters.

Anyway the gump would have all kinds of different special character with a text box at the bottom, each time they pick a special character it gets written to the text box below, when they get all the desired letter/characters then they hit accept and it names their pet whats in the text box.

Just an optimization idea, I wouldnt know how to do.

A gump would be nice of course, but since I don't knw how to do the special characters, and I don't particularly like 'leet' spellings of name (which I believe special characters are part of), I will probably not be doing such a thing. But to do it, all you would do is have a text field and a bunch of labels with buttons next to them. When you click the button, it takes what's in the text field and appends the certain character to the text, then re-opens the gump. Also, are we all sure that special characters are visible by the client? Heard rumor that the client displays them as '?'

I am not sure, I have seen people use special character in the game when they are talking, but i dont know if they can use these characters in a name.

Also I hate LeEt also, it doesnt look good but the special characters are cool like
ÊŁęěť or ĊäŋđĮĐǛ§ ŽαБцζǔş

I'm not sure about current support for the special characters, but back when Trammel was first introduced, I remember seeing some Chinese symbols in a pet's name. I remember it distinctly, it was on Sonoma, when Trinsic was overrun by the undead - that was a quest that was controlled by that Seer. I can't for the life of me remember the Seer's name though.

I first saw it when I was at the Inn doing fierce battle with the liche's there.
