Title: My New Username?
Post by: The_Gu3st on June 07, 2005, 11:59:18 PM
Lol.... probably wondering why there is a question mark after "My new username".... well... here is the story.

Playing a game with Skin and Drakonus, right after drakonus kills me with his mech i click "Click here to exit" and i am sent to the screen where it says you have made a user name.... and pretty much looks like this

Okay well, id show you, but it wont let me paste the screenshot. So Matlu, i'll Email it to you, and you can put it up for me maybe.

(it says i made the username ":F*BOX**BOX*g*BOX*BOX*T*BOX*T*BOX*H*BOX*E

I emailed it to duelboard@directbox.com

And matlu, i swear to you, it is not a virus of any sort. It is an attachment however to a Microsoft Word 2003 document however with a screen shot in it.

Thank you. Actually, I guess I know why it happened, and it should be easy to fix

Why did it happen?

Not very easy to explain, it's quite internal programming stuff. Basically it is a bug. I think that it happened, because you pressed "exit" and somebody else made a ranged attack at exactly same time. So you were removed from the game, but your computer still received a message about ranged attack. This message was unexpected (you were not in game) and it was incorrectly interpreted as "registration" message, (because these 2 messages have same "code", and it is not good). So I'll have to make sure that each message has unique code, even when they are used in different context (one is used during game, and second during registration)
