Regarding a few posts above:
Before I got lazy, I was working on a name system
for Graal2001. Basically each player had to apply for
an name that had to be unique. I stored all the
names in a database NPC to be able to check wether
one name is already taken.
Additionally I had the database split into a first name,
second name, a title to be put in front of the name, a
reputation after the name and a guild or kingdom
name to be put at the very end. I had it a little more
complex, but I struggled very much to make it
possible for a player to hide certain parts of a name,
and still make sense, in order to make it possible to
run around as, for example, without your name
displayed, as 'a follower of [kingdom]'. Combined
with a disabling of profile-by-rightclick you could use
that to fight anonymously or so :O
I sadly got tired of it before I figured it all out, so I stopped. |
