biostem Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 As the thread title states, could we please be permitted to use the ampersand (& symbol) in our character's names? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniktch Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I believe that's a code related issue - you ever notice how sometimes you'll see in ingame text? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malonkey1 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Yeah. The whole game is written in really messy C, and accounting for ampersands in 20-year-old code would be a big pain for a small gain. I do agree that the idea itself would be nice, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a coding issue. The is code language for no break space. But I also agree & would be nice to use. I do love that ' and - are able to be used.

WanderingAries Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 +1, and definitely a code thing as mentioned..once or twice. :p If they get around to rebuilding the codebase from scratch, then I'll bet this is something they'd manage to do once it's upgraded to something more pliable than C.

Garble Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I'm thinking anyone/npc that targeted you would end up targeting whatever you have selected instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
