a'Suh Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I was messing around changing my name. I think I used and underscore (_) and some parenthesis (") and got kicked for a name error or something. Ever since, I can't join any servers. Tried executing a difference .cfg and cleaning .pk3 files to no avail. My game completely freezes when I try to join Silent and HC. What shall I do? -Pinguino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader RedBaird Posted November 3, 2020 Leader Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) I looks like you have had the names _( v )/, , Penguin, Peng('v')uin and many more on HardCore and Silent#1, but now only have UnnamedPlayer. "UnnamedPlayer" is often seen with players show have somehow gotten blank-names. The "quote marks" can be used to surround a name with internal blanks, such as /name "Flying Penguin Air Force". I have never tried to use them inside a name. On Second thought, if you had tried something like /name ""pengoid"", then the first pair of double-quotes might just create a blank name! What you could do is start ET, select the Silent mod and then do /name Penguin in the console and then that Penguin name should be saved in your Silent mod ETconfig file for the next time that you join a silent-mod server. If that does not work, 😮 then you had better damn well use The Beast's Beastly suggestion! 😮 Personally, I would save copies of my etconfig and autoexec.cfg files, just in case. I have an online backup service that does that every time the files are changed, and I also do a local save-a-copy every month, just in case. BAck up your silent\silent.dat and etmain\etkey files.

a'Suh Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 Unfortunately, didn't work. My game seems to be pretty jacked up. I'm gonna do a fresh install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do reinstall, be sure to copy & save the silent.dat and etkey files out of your ET file systems so that you can restore them after the reinstallation.

a'Suh Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Yep, I tried it with no luck. The way it was erroring out seemed like a memory leak or something. I copied my silent and etkey files so should be good to go. Danke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader RedBaird Posted November 5, 2020 Leader Share Posted November 5, 2020 What was the exact error statement? Do you have an SS of it or a condump of the console after the 'rejection'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
