What are the criteria for the user names and passwords TWGS will accept? Could someone describe them as regular expressions? |

Anybody? It appears that the user name can be 1-41 characters, and the password can be 0-8 characters. Both seem to accept characters 32 to 125. |

I or years used a 13 character for a pw until I noticed in T-Edit it only stores 8. User names I think have a restriction only on the first 6 characters.... So if your using Mongoose , no one can join using Mon, Mong, Mongo.... it actually stopped from using a single letter if a player was already in using M. |

I think that 6-character similarity restriction applies only to in-game aliases, not the user's TWGS login name. |

TWGS login is pretty open. It accepts ascii characters 32 through 176. Any other character will be replaced with a #. |

Hmmm... 'cause tedit won't accept the ~ character (126) in usernames or passwords. I didn't try any higher characters. |

~ is a special character that is always filtered out by TW. Gary used it for color coding, and it appears in many of the menu files and such. It can't even be quoted. It's just stripped out. |
