Just play around with your name until it lets you join, once you found out what the culprit is, let us know. It's probably Sourcemod (or the Source engine) not liking non-ASCII characters. (Even though it's 2013 already.) Edit: There's also something with having non-printable characters in one's nickname which might lead to this, IIRC. Got any of those?
plugins are added to the game server to prevent "bad" stuff from happening, there where more then enough times that ppl had some strange characters in their name(s) to make stuff in the killfeed go bad, or in the scoreboards etc. So probably there is a plugin to cut out on bad characters... Tbh, I find it more logical to have a rename plugin with that, that removes those characters, and if nothing left the player gets named "no name" or something. But it might be that not all names can be renamed or w/e.
but i can join with " kRümmeL in love with Lea <3 " . When i Change my Name too " |LZ| kRümmeL in Love with Lea <3 " ----> kicked i mean its a bug from SourceMod ^^
did a quick check the server in question does not have any plugins installed that check names and sourcemod doesnt kick people of its own accord
[retracts previous statement] Jellyfish is wrong after a little more digging it turns out the server DOES have a plugin that checks names for invalid characters (smac_client) Rules: First character must not be whitespace (space, tab, newline, linereturn) Last character must not be white space Name must not be just spaces (kinda covered by first 2) Name must not be blank/empty Name must not contain '&', '%' or 'DELETE' Name must not contain any of the following unicode characters (UTF Ref Table): - U+0000 to U+0020 - U+0080 to U+00A0 - U+115F - U+1160 - U+180B to U+180F - U+2000 to U+200F - U+2028 to U+202F - U+205F to U+206F - U+3000 - U+3164 - U+FEFF - U+FFA0 - U+FFF9 to U+FFFF
only the letter "u" is not allowed to be combined???? // edit: <a class="postlink" href="https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1806088#post1806088" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthrea ... ost1806088</a> still no mention of which ones... /edit2: nvm, I now got it the "U" was standing for Unicode...
