[Minetest-0.4.10] 3D model problem

[Minetestforfun]

Hi,

I found a problem on my minetest server(0.4.10-dev) when a player's nickname have more than 19 letters, the game takes it very badly.

Example :
Name => "testmessagebienvenue" (client side pseudonym)
The first problem is server side, it doesn't display "testmessagebienvenue" but "testmessagebienvenu" (without the "e")
For now, nothing major, but the suite is surprising :

Indeed, a 3D model follow me everywhere "on my position"...
i can hurt me, i can't build if i don't always move, etc...

For an another example :
With a character name "orange", there is no problem

Can i put in place a restriction on the max size of pseudonym ?

(Sorry for my english)

ooooh a Doppelgaenger feature. You might want to press F7 for a nice 3d person view :-D

New mod:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_on_prejoinplayer(function(name, ip)
   if #name > 18 then
      return "Too long username. "..
            "Please pick a name with less than 18 letters and try again."
   end
end)

Solved.

Thank you for your code Krock, but i don't know how i can use it, im sorry :S

Can you explain me the steps ?

Can you explain me the steps ?

1) create minetest_folder/mods/dummymod
2) create file "init.lua"
3) put copypasta from my post above onto "init.lua"
4) enable the mod

This should be fixed in core.
