| Product Version | 3.2.3 | ||||
| Summary | 0002433: Very silly bug in the nick character sets support | ||||
| Description | 1) You don't check the case of the latters (tolower()?) So, for one 4 character long nickname there can be 2^4 = 16 combinations. 2) There are many latters which are the same in many languages (codepages). For example for russian and english: A,a,B,C,c,E,e,H,K,k,M,O,o,P,p,T,u,X,x. So, you can get the same-looking nickname with the charracters from the other allowed codepage. It is bad, if someone will get the nickname of an operator or service. The Q:Lines won't help in this case (except very broad masks). -- I advice you to cancel the 3.2.3-release and correct this. | ||||

Don't enable it if you don't like it. If you only have american users, don't add russian to your config. Russian users do have the correct characters to display the nicks correctly (else they couldn't work on their PC :D). I advice you to cancel the 3.2.3-release and correct this. lol? |
|
|
I have only russian users on my network. Russian characters are forbidden by default. If you enable them in your Unreal you'll get a great haos on the network, that's why cancelling the release before it comes to big problems. P.S. Currently I'm using my own localized version without such bugs. |

its not bug. its how it works. |
|
|
You can say almost the same about every bug. It wouldn't be a bug if the standard english-version would allow uppercase/lowercase nicknames to be different and exist at the same time. |
|
|
If your complaining that A == a and the weird 2 dots over the o and O arent the same, codemastr has said that the reasoning is because they use ASCII and with that those last 2 arent the same |
|
|
I don't say that "O" and O with 2 dots are the same. I'm talking about absolutly the same latters. You cannot see any difference there. The way you did it (ASCII) is very easy and cheap. I think the coders of one of the most popular IRC-Daemons around the world could do something more intelligent. |

due to my limited knowledge on other char-sets i can not reproduce every mentioned aspect - but "two dots over the O / o" ( ö and Ö in case anyone can display those letters) are in fact the same letters in German, upper-case and lower-case - used along the grammar of the language (or by the creative style of a writer *g*) the same is for a/A and u/U which are double-dotted as well in German I've learnd also a little French where "accents" are often used above vocals ( ´ ` if those are displayed for anyone) - I've tested them as well and they don't seem to be case-sensitive in unrealircd as well. Different then in German those accents are not really seperate letters (or at least "not always") so the creativity of nickfakers can be extended... I suggest there should be added at least an additional case-check for each sign (I finally realised that those letters have been allowed in channelnames for a long time - so you may also create 2 seperate channels with one of those letters...) I know, this is complicated stuff - but it should be re-thougt again, and maybe a warning about possible impact of this new feature should be given... |

Unreal uses US-ASCII for case mapping (as it clearly says in numeric 005). This is not a bug, it is working exactly as it is designed to work. We are NOT cancelling the release. |
