Clan [TAGS] and Names - Creating - Needs a fix.

[LostKnight]

First up.

When creating a clan we have no idea what [TAGS] are in use.
It would be nice if there was a: (WARNING: Does not exist)

Code: Select all

https://forum.dmgamestudio.com/clan-tags

page that lists all clan tags "in use"

I created a clan for fun, and it was an exercise in frustration.

As we ALL know LK doesn't do PvP, so clans are a no-no!

And my friends all know that my goal levels are not the "00" levels
They started a while back 1212, 1313, 1414 etc.

Recently I hit 2828 heading to 2929 and 3030 (DING! DING! DING! - alarm bells)

I need an alt and the name is too long so a [TAG] is needed

1. the Clan Tag (up to 4 characters)
2. the proper name of the clan:

I got my alt to level 30 and tried to get the clan created.

I kept getting this message:

Code: Select all

Invalid characters in your clan name.

I tried:
Winchester
Winchester3030
Winchester Clan
The Winchester Club
The Winchester Clan
The Winchester 3030

Nothing worked. And look at all those "invalid characters" in "the name"
- I don't see a single "invalid character"

A fair bit of colourful language before going to bed and again today after getting back from the the bank.

Sent a help message to madmaniac (Thanks mad) who suggested it was the [TAG]

But there was no notice that something was wrong with the TAG, just:

Code: Select all

Invalid characters in your clan name.

So my suggestion:
1. the Clan Tag (up to 4 characters)
- if the TAG is in use show the message: TAG in use. Select another.
or
- Invalid characters in your clan TAG.

2. the proper name of the clan:
- That name is in use, select another.
or
- Invalid characters in your clan name.

I wanted to use: [Win] - could not use it
tried: [WIN] - could not use it
Finally thanks to mm1 - lower case L for the I, looks perfect in game:

[WlN]chester30(30)
Clan Name: Winchester

Can I change the name? I was so elated it worked, I forgot the 3030
Clan Name: Winchester 3030

Clan Name: Winchester 3030

Unfortunately, without GM assistance, there's no way to change that clan tag. However, if you haven't sunk a ton of gold into it, I might be able to assist in my own way.

Thank mm1 the change worked.
