If I'm not mistaking this is more of a windows error than byond error. I know EXACTLY what you are talking about though, Alt + 0255, Alt + 0173 etc return this value where a player is un-selectable. (I use it some times :3)
|
Yeah that's basically the one. It's an annoying ass issue though and it should be solved.
On another note... Now I got a way to spam games I hate... jk! |
Though this is something BYOND could fix, its also preventable by the developers.

While this is technically a BYOND bug it really falls on game developers to prevent people from using names of that nature in the first place. Last I asked about this issue (a while back mind you) I was told the code pertaining to stuff like input() isn't as trivial to alter as you'd imagine.

I used the following verb and then ban that dude ._. Darn you RSC Extractor!...You stole my icons :'(
...Though it only works if there is a map...you could walk on and stuff #define cat category |
