Hexed names w/JO

Hey guys,

I need a big favor, if everyone could take one minute and could stop by the nova forums and post here if you want to be able to use hexed names in Joint ops. SuperTex FX started a thread in nova about them making a change. Maybe is we get enough to reply they will do something

https://www.novaworld.com/NWCommunit...&get=last#last

Thanks guys
HT

Our NovaWorld Player Naming Policy has changed!
Effective September 22nd, 2003, all new NovaWorld Players created will need to adhere to our new NovaWorld Player Naming Policy. Current players can only be renamed to names that adhere to our new NovaWorld Player Naming Policy. There will be a 3 month transfusion period, during which time both valid and invalid player names will be allowed to play along side each other. On Tuesday, Jan 6th, 2004, all player names that violate the new NovaWorld Player Naming Policy will be renamed automatically by our systems to names that do not violate the new naming policy.

Player names will only be allowed to contain the standard upper and lower case alphabet characters (26 characters, a-z, A-Z), the numeric characters (0 to 9), periods (.), dashes (-), and spaces ( ). Spaces are not observed at the beginning and the end of the name, and multiple spaces inside the name will be converted to a single space character. The name must begin with an alpha or numeric character (a-z, A-Z, or 0-9), and must contain as many or more alphanumeric characters as symbols.

NovaWorld has been configured to help you convert your existing players (associated with your NovaWorld account) from their current name (which may or may not violate this new naming policy) to a name that does not violate this naming policy. We encourage you to rename any player you have that violates the naming convention soon so that you can obtain the best names available. Once a name has been taken by somebody else it is unavailable to you. Names that violate this naming policy by Tues, Jan 6th, 2004 will be renamed to a name that does not violate the naming policy. Renaming your player does not remove any stats you may have accrued by that player.

sorry i don't think they will ever change it at all.
Link: https://www.novaworld.com/NWCommunit...ofuse.aspx#PNP

It help them to read the name of players better and lease mix-up on who cheated and it show much easier to lookup good players name to see their stats you wish to find.
Samples below: all Arial stander font (Windows Xp & Pro)
good points: Hotcat -Pts-
bad point: ňŐţςλ۳ -₧-
really bad to read: ЊЇ€∂ﺡ -ףּ┴ی-
as you can see it is really a headache, a lot of cheaters use the hex and nova got really sick on not able to lookup there name so they made it simple.

like you to see how to spell it up and lookup the player name and hope you spell it up right, even make a report on who breaking rule in the playing field.


I for one really hope it stays for good.

Hexed was not something I want. It makes the name look different. Just use regular text. This may look cool §†äïñ
But this is easier to read, and Personally , it makes the word seem cooler (Lol My brain is messed up today) StaiN

We don't care if they reverse their position or not...the thing is, if they dont want to have to deal with hexed names, then they shouldn't try and regulate the public games.

Don't force us to login in order to host a public game. And don't force us to login to play in public servers. Either that, or re-instate ALL ASCII chars.

Our tags are our flags...how easily will you abandon yours?

And yes...they will change their policy on it - IF we as the community that supports them and their livelyhood present a strong enough voice in the matter.

nova could make there own name editor and only allow letters to be hexed no funcky crazy lines for a name. There are many ways around it.

Please if you support this issue reply to the link in the first post. every little bit helps

i saying they will not change it at all or reverse the ruling on using "Name Character hex's" never will happen. it there for good there a limited on them for a good reason and going to stay that way for life if you don't like it go play another game, play it as you like. and Nova done said we are sorry you feel that way, but it going to stay. you can always go out and buy another game if it make you happy then do it. for the most part we the community who have use the novaworld.com site already taken it in and love it, so get use to it and grow-up some.

cold hard fact of life: it their software totally you only pay to use it and play online with the service to play online is totally free on their terms and on their rules for game play and use of Character hex's in their software they own it not you, all so removing the bypass option to log-in is way cool keep out warez sharing software owner's out and keep in the real owners of them game in.

Since you play on the nova server only, you might not know that 70% or more of the people that played bhd/ts bypassed login. If that 70% were gone the game would bomb and nova would have to do something real fast.

If there was a bypass and you wanted nova to change it. You would do the same thing. BTW dont actlike like you have never posted about something you didn't like.

If you want to know why nova is not a major contender in the gaming community, Why Ut2004, BF1942/veitnam, halflife doom, are better selling games, Why JO didnot win a singal award at E3 and all those other games did. Just re-read the bottom of your post Cheif

and ut2004, farcry, painkiller, AA, BF, CoD, are all free to play on and there are all ready working CD hack for Jo that work. And no i did not use them, i got my copy of JO free from Novalogic themselves for beta testing JO.

Since i am not bashing you, then why start with the name calling, You are the reason people start flaming each other in post. Maybe you need to open your eye's and do a little growing up yourself, name calling only makes you look immature.

BTW
supprize, supprize, Nova locked the thread and swepted it under the rug with out a reply

Wink

there was no name bashing as you stated it is hard cold fact plain and hard. will nova is making JO and they are footing the bill for it. why would they not update items and remove items in it thats mean the option in it too. its their software if you don't like it move on to another game.

By the way i do own BF: 1942 (PB) guy and they make all have to log-in to play it there is no bypass link to click-on (game-spy.com, crap don't like them to much)

i don't hate the ID it was nice when it lasted, but i really think the Hex name's is gone for good & if they do remove the bypass link thats fine with me. i always log-in knowing i be playing with really good players in all of the host server in there. don't log-in you be asking to think? hey is guy doing something funny or any other things to think of. i don't need to think it all. i'll be feeling really good knowing i am playing with other member who log-in who have not been banned for some reason's at all. playing side by side with 100% Novalogic.inc DF: fan totally

bypass because there is a choice. if log in is compulsory then everyone would log in not simply stop playing the game lol. you honestly believe that 70% of players would stop playing the game because of a simple log in?

they have nothing new to say about it. everything they did have to say about this issue was said last year, nothing has changed and nothing will.

i'm sorry but this is realistic. it has taken them 6 years to do something about the single biggest problem/complaint their games have had - cheaters. reinstating hexed names isn't even at the back of their mind yet.

no i think 70% wont but there will be a small % that do, and not just the hackers and Cheaters

and it is in the back of there minds now, we are just trying to get it to the front. They can make a editor after login, and control the faunts used
