You know how when you create a character on a server, it seems to have a random name?

Currently we know that the filename is not random, on different machines a user created with the same name generates the same filename. This also means that the name is not generated based on a hardware key, multiplayer id, or server id.

The file format is: ##-????????.fl
(2 digit padded value representing name length)-(8 character encoded output).fl

We believe the name length is connected to the output as some sort of key but so far are stuck with attempting to learn the hash process via pattern identification.

I look forward to some good input on this matter specially from some who have attempted to work on this before like IGx89 and Eagle.

hi Genius, hi Louva,

well ask for help in this case m8 i have some for ya, well the 1st byte is number of chars in hexadecimal used in the name like

Louva = 05, Crabtree = 08, Crabtree*WTS = 0C in that case you´re right.

The other seems to be coded in Unicode, m8 this link helps http://www.unicode.org/unicode/uni2book ... BookIX.pdf cause i haven´t thought about that yet.

i´ll be back soon
