Login names from old NWN

Post by cptcuddlepants » Sat Mar 24, 2018 3:25 am

So, while trying to make sure that my accounts are linked properly, I ran into another issue... the EE version has a limit on how long your username can be.

I have alts that are linked to some usernames that are longer than this limit. I can't connect with those usernames, the game tells me that there are unallowed characters and winds up truncating letters until the login name fits. Will this pose a problem in terms of being able to use my characters, or can I just "fix" it by making up new, shorter usernames?

Can you PM me one of those playernames so I can have a look?

Have you tried modifying nwnplayer.ini

Under profile place:
Player Name=Put your playername here

and see if you can bypass it that way?

PM sent.

Haven’t tried modifying the ini, I’ll definitely give that a shot.

I just tried this.

It refuses login name at connection and asks me to pick a new one.

Think it's safe to say that the horde of ridiculous login names I have are lost :(
