| Summary | 0003101: Suggestion about cyrillic nicks | ||||
| Description | Unreal can operate with nicks that contain cyrillic and other not-ascii characters, but it not see difference between capital and non-capital letters: for example - 2 nicks with ASCII chars - 'test' and 'Test' - works fine, unreal thinks that 2 nicks are identical, and it's not possible to take those 2 nicks in the same time. but with non-ascii characters there are some problem - for example 2 russian nicks - 'òåñò' and 'Òåñò' - unreal thinks that this is 2 different nicks, and allow to take both in the same time, that cause some confusion, - users can have nicks 'òåñò', 'Òåñò', 'òÅñò', 'ÒÅÑÒ', 'òåñÒ' - in the same time. maybe this can be solved with corrected touppertab[]/tolowertab[] arrays, but it also adds problems with languages that uses not windows-1251 codepage... and another moment, with ukrainian nicks - ukrainian language has no characters 'ÛûÚú', and now it is not possible use "pure-ukrainian" nick without source modification. 'ÀÁÂÃ¥ÄŪÆÇȲ¯ÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖ×ØÙÜÞßàáâã´äåºæç賿éêëìíîïðñòóôõö÷øùüþÿ' (alphabetical order) russian and ukrainian uses same codepage - windows-1251, so if administrator will want to permit mixed rus/ukr nicks - it can select more than one allowed-nickchars (russian-w1251; ukrainian-w1251; etc). | ||||

P.S. this post is written in windows-1251, so in windows-1252 it may not displayed correctly |

and another moment ;) maybe it will be quite good, if there are some option that optionally forbid to mix ASCII and national characters in the nicks, for example english and russian has some characters, that looks similar in windows-1251 ('a' - 'a', 'o' - 'o', etc), so this also can cause confusion - if users will use different nicks, that looks absolutely similar... |

On second thought, it seems it's better to use 0002882 for discussion, since it discusses the same, and also includes a patch / explanation. I'll comment there instead. |

I've forked off the comment about ukrainian charset to 0003102, and set you as the reporter. |
