How would I rename player names in L4D2 when they have certain symbols in them; specifically these: ^1, ^2, ^3, ^4, ^5, ^6, ^7, ^8, ^9, ^0

Some Mordern Warfare 2 players have color codes in their names. Example '^1Mad ^3Dog' That one makes 'Mad' red en 'Dog' yellow in MW2. That just a simple example. Some names just look totally weird and are unreadable.

In essence the plugin should rename a name like '^1Mad ^3Dog' into 'Mad Dog'.

Thanks.

PHP Code:

SetClientInfo(client, "name", szNewName); 


(from scripting\playercommands\rename.sp)

Not tested:

PHP Code:

stock RemoveMWSymbols(String:szName, maxlen)
{
    new String:szMWCode[5];
    
    for (new i = 0; i <= 9; i++)
    {
        Format(szMWCode, sizeof(szMWCode), "^%d", i);
        ReplaceString(szName, maxlen, szMWCode, "");
    }
}

Well, never tried this. I hope author will figure out how it works.

I though I'd figure out how to write up the plugin, but it appears I can't. Been looking like crazy, so I give up for now.

Any additional help is always welcome.

I wrote code that does this, but its in c++ so not really helpful here. Basically you just need to search the string for each color code, and replace it with the source version. So search the players name for ^1 and replace it with \x04 or replace ^2 with \x05 and so on.
