TrademarkGamer Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Suggestion Name: Remove the need to have 4 characters in a search in-game Suggestion Description: Remove the need to have 4 characters in a search in-game Any example images: Nope Why should it be added?: I had a guy in a car by the name of KK, which is 2 characters under the limit for a search in the game. What happened was this guy followed me with a car onto the motorway and whacked into my side at full speed. I tried to /pinfo him but he had seemed to alt f4 his game as I f7'd to the service and he was nowhere to be seen. I then tried searching KK only to remember that the limit for characters was 4. Now, in this case, he had already exited the game which is why I couldn't search for him. If he hadn't exited the game I would have been able to search him without the character limit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I agree, this will be helpful, especially when searching for players that you only now the first two letters for etc. Current Status: Waddle On! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 My advice for this case is to search for the player in the relevant log_spawning file (Documents\ETS2MP\logs) to perhaps find their TruckerMP ID there. I'm not sure if the developers have a technical reason for this limit, but if not then I agree to reduce/remove it to help in these rare cases.

LordBenji Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 That could be useful, but there's several times I have to rely on remembering the perpetrator's temporary ID or check the spawning log file (in ETS2MP folder). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chileno Trucker Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 That's why you record and that's why the log exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 @Valroy_CL: For a better Performance Ingame, it´s a good Choice to disable the Development Logging complete. Specially for the User that having a worse Internet Conection and/or a low-Spec PC. It reducing the Lag for the User and the Lag of this User to Others significant. So, no Log, no ID. But if there is a Video it´s always possible to get the ID, with a little research via Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game Producer Smoky Posted July 11, 2020 Game Producer Share Posted July 11, 2020 Rejected, it doesn't make that much sense as usernames can't be shorter than 4 characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
