Basically what this does is filters a player's name, and any characters that are not in the range of 32-126 of the ASCII table chart are ignored. After the filtering, it checks to see if there is at least 2 ASCII characters that it can use for the rename, and if there is not, it will rename players to their user-id #.

Convars for your server.cfg:

unf_enable_logs 1
1 - Enable / 0 - Disable\nEnable Logging of the name changes.
2- Do not log those whom skip filter checking.
The log format is: logs/UnicodeNameFilter_%m_%d_%y.log

unf_skipfilter_checking 0
1 - Enable / 0 - Disable
CommandAccess unf_skipfilter is checked to see if that player can skip the name filtering.
Default Admin flag is ADMFLAG_RESERVATION.
This can allow you to have VIP or Admins to skip filter checking.

unf_enable_prevent_name_copying 0
1 - Enable / 0 - Disable
Enable Experimental prevent name copying/duplicates.

unf_enable_userid_prefix 1
1 - Enable / 0 - Disable
If Enabled, it will use a players userid as a name if it finds a duplicate name of someone else.
This works along sideunf_enable_prevent_name_copying.

unf_enable_prefix "(1)"
If unf_enable_userid_prefix is disabled, then duplicate names will be prefixed with this.

unf_lock_name_after_filtering 1
1 - Enable / 0 - Disable
Locks a players name after the filtering changes it.
(I believe this is TF2 only) I'll figure this out later.

unf_tell_players_of_any_changes 1
1 - Enable / 0 - Disable
If enabled, will tell players when it makes changes to their name.

Currently it has no convars, as nobody has requested any. If you want to request something else this plugin can do for you, let me know. Don't forget the translations file! If you like this file, please do say so

Hi, this plugin is able to auto-kick players who use a bug to avoid name? Or to kick away the players using: "unnamed", "& &", "%%". Or bugs as "unconnected"?

I'm sorry, but I am not understanding your question.

This plugin currently does not kick or ban players. It filters out unicode characters.

See this chart: Characters allowed by the filter is from 32-126 Decimal. All other characters are filtered out. After filtering out all Unicode characters, if the left over characters have at least 2 ASCII characters from 32-126 decimal left, then it will rename that player to what ever is left over. If not, it will rename the player to their user id number.

If you are trying to ban or kick players because of certain names, there are other name handling plugins:

[ANY] Bad name kick / ban with SourceBans support (Namechecker)
- Bans / kicks players if they have a name that contains a phrase in bad_names.ini - e.g. membersearch, admin

Uninamer (Unicode name changer)
- rename/kick players who abusively use unicode names


A lot of my plugins I write for Anti-Hacking stuff, I strive not to ban or kick players. The idea around a lot of my plugins is to solve the issue on server side and not lose players to a ban or kick.

This is going to lead to transforming some UTF-8 characters into one or more valid ASCII characters, rather than removing them. You're looping bytes, not characters. UTF-8 characters consist of multiple bytes. One or more of them alone can be valid ASCII alone, even if they wouldn't make sense alone.

Use GetCharBytes to determine the number of bytes that the character at a position is taking.

psychonic, thank you for the advice and example source code. I will get right to work on a update.

Put it on my empires server so far so good thank you for the plugin, can you add a cvar so they cant keep changing back, the plugin does change it again but it would be nice if they changed it 3 times the plugin will kick them.

I had one guy change it back about 10 times.

I added requested feature.

unf_lock_name_after_filtering 1
1 - Enable / 0 - Disable

^ this is enabled by default in the newest update of this plugin.

thank you another issue arose, some clan tags are being changed, could there be a white list added?

How do you propose the whitelist handle them?

* save the whitelist tag and apply it after the filter?

* prevent names with tags from being changed in the whitelist?

OR ???

You should just use regex and replace the chars. I think i made something like this in the past. If i can find it i'll post it later.
