Solved Players with = or < or > in name cause client crashes

hello, there is a new wave of greifers with size 20000 in their name causing clients to crash, please help us plugin developers and make a simple plugin that kicks/bans on join attempt for anyone with those characters in their names

 

Are you using BetterChat?
I am not sure if normal hurtworld has filtering for that.

 

Chat isn't causing the crash, there is a whitelist plugin so I know this is possible, the crash occurs when you see someone INGAME and the client try's to load the name obove their head.. I want to be able to autoban these assholes
[DOUBLEPOST=1452106991,1452096513][/DOUBLEPOST]This is the top thread on reddit as well, Could someone could make this really quick we would all love you for protecting the servers from griefers... All t would take is slightly slight edit of the whitelist plugin to check for name strings instead of permissions... Hurtworld • /r/hurtworld Just need a plugin that will allow us to stop players with those characters in their names from joining!

 

I use plugin restrict names 0.1.1
you can set it to reject players with unusual characters in their names, only have alphabetical/numerical but included _-,./ , game will reject anyone who has other characters
my apologies thought this was a rust issue

 

Link? I can't find it in the hurtworld plugins

 

thank you so much wulf! This is needed ASAP because these guys are ruining the experience for everyone with this

 

What is there was a plugin to check the username of a connecting player and kick them if they had a name that had the invalid characters, would that fix this?

Basically only allowing A-Z a-z 0-9 in the name.

 

That's great because some characters like * before a name blocks all commands working on them as well :-o

 

Wulf can we get an ETA on release this is an urgent issue that's being heavily abused across most servers

 

Sorry didn't mean to be pushy, your work is greatly appreciated. Just curious what the expected timeframe is. today,tomorrow, next week etc so I can get contingencies in order if necessary (promote more admins etc)

 

Ok NP, I'll keep an eye out. If you teach me the basics of plugin programming I can help you, I'm a Java programmer, with a lot of experience so I can pick it up really quickly and run with it, just need help setting up IDE and dependencies as I'm new to all the languages you guys use in plugin development, any chance for Java plugin support?
[DOUBLEPOST=1452121305][/DOUBLEPOST]Or if there's a how to or videos anywhere that works also

 

How to prohibit the use of font size in the game code?

 

Are you using Better Chat?
