Title: funname error: "flags can only be..."
Post by: {appy Hamper on March 03, 2007, 04:19:10 PM
don't worry I'm not going to ask how you guys get those colors in your names...

I am curious what it means when it says:

flags can only be a 'u' or an 'a'

This usually happens when I'm trying to put a space in between {appy and Hamper.
Am I doing something wrong?

Do all the colors get messed up, and then your name get messed up too?  Because that happened to me, unfortunately I don't know how to fix it, I just stopped using Funnames all together.  Sorry I couldn't be more help, but hopefully Jitspoe knows because I have had this same problem.  Good Luck.

Use quotes.  Or is this something that happens at the menu?

This is a menu problem.  I either click one of the blank spaces, or find where I am in the readout of the name and hit SPACE there.  Both of which give me the error.
I also noticed that even if I don't put colors or symbols in my name, and I just put {appy Hamper in the Funname menu it will give me the same error message.

no not really.  It just won't let me load a name with a space in it apparently.

Hm, this isn't looking easy to fix.  You need to use quotes around any string containing spaces.  You also have to use quotes around the commands from the menu.

What you'd need is something like:
command "set name "$tempname""

But that doesn't work, because the command get set to "set name " since it stops at the first quote.

interesting.  I'll mess with that and see what happens.  Thanks for taking time on that though!

Just do {appy how you like it, Then quit the game and then copy {appy from your config. It should be after the commad tempname or so. Then start up DP again and make Hamper, then quit game. Go back to your config and paste the }appy which you copied before Hamper.

=] should work.
