  • %U and @USER@

    From maskreet@21:1/114 to g00r00 on Wednesday, April 25, 2018 11:35:17
    Not sure if you got my email, but I noticed that %U and @USER@ both handle usernames differently; %U replaces whitespace with underscores, whereas
    @USER@ doesn't.

    Was wondering if you'd be able to make both handle it the same way? Either replace with underscores or just let the username be. Thanks!

    Good call. In the next build "%R" for door command lines will return the user's handle without spaces converted to underscores. I am going to leave %U how it is now since thats how it's always been and I don't want to break existing setups.

    Will this do it for you?

    Definitely, thanks man! I'll update the DoorParty wiki and download package
    to reflect this immediately!
