[15.31] Can't kick/ban players with multiple words in name
Hey, I'm not sure if this is common. But, I can't seem to kick people with multiple words in their username.
Say for example their name is "First Second", When I try to do "/kick First Second" or "/kick "First Second", it'll just display that "Player First doesn't exist" or "Player "First doesn't exist".
Just wondering if there is some fix for this?

Do you have authentication disabled? Because spaces aren't allowed in usernames by default which means you shouldn't have users with spaces in their names.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

"backers.json" has a lot of spaces in nicknames. Was it allowed?

backers don't use their username, they can enter a separate field in the profile pagedarkfrei wrote:"backers.json" has a lot of spaces in nicknames. Was it allowed?

In that case, even if you ban them, they can just change their username and come back.CounterClops wrote:I think I have that disabled, yeah.Rseding91 wrote:Do you have authentication disabled?

But I think kicking players should be possible even if they have spaces in their names.

Ah yeah, I see your point there about banning people.posila wrote:In that case, even if you ban them, they can just change their username and come back.CounterClops wrote:I think I have that disabled, yeah.Rseding91 wrote:Do you have authentication disabled?

But, if you find a way to kick people with multiple word usernames, I'd love to hear it.

I have it disabled since a few of my friends wanted to try the game out with me before they buy it.impetus maximus wrote:just enable authentication.

the demo is avl to try and gives you a good idea on what the game is like, and teaches you some core fundamentals of the game.
but i get it, they wanted to try the multiplayer aspect. well in that case you might want to use a password so randoms don't join you.
for unpassworded servers it is highly recommended to use authentication, the griefing in this game makes enjoying it hard, and some people must get a thrill out of wrecking others fun.
if you decide to run a public server your ban list will get large, make sure you have an admin available to give them the ban, kicking someone just makes them redownload the map, and that is a simple matter of hitting reconnect, if they upset you, ban them. if you later feel they can come back you can always unban them again (/unban)
it would be nice to have a kick command that made them wait 5 mins before they could rejoin so they aren't right back immediately.
