player.nick without guild

[Emera]

I am going to recode the nicknames on Lexia so it displays their nickname and their guild in a certain way. I want to be able to show their nick but not their Guild with it.

PHP Code:

text = player.nick // Then chop off their Guild 


Can I use substring to cut out the players Guild and only show their nickname?

PHP Code:

temp.nick = player.nick.substring(0, player.nick.pos("(")).trim(); 


Should do the trick.

This would be a problem if someone used "(" in their actual name, it would probably be better to do:

PHP Code:

temp.nick = player.nick.substring(0, player.nick.pos("(" @ player.guild @ ")")).trim();

Thanks for the help!

I thought that was impossible?

Edit: Confirmed. It is impossible to use "(" in your name without it being related to guilds.

Odd, I'm sure it was possible at some point, maybe a fix was added.

Must've been a long time ago. I remember wanting to do this "back then" when I just started playing, maybe a couple months in. And that was 2003.

Haven't been able to use "(" in your nick since 2000 at least, but I think you can use ")".

Checked. You can't use "(" but you can still use ")"
Thanks for this.

i had a problem on iEra, I used this
player.nick = player.nick.substring(0, player.nick.pos(player.guild));

Wouldn't this be a problem if a players nickname contained their guild name?

setnick VIP (VIP)

etc

Sums up iEra in general pretty well, right down to the style of language.
