Town Names with Dots

[Perry Gilfillan]

Does Towny not like town names with dots? e.g 'Washington_D.C.'

While testing the playername to UUID conversion, Towny would go into safemode on encountering this town name.

There is no sign of the 'Washington_D.C..txt' file.  Acctually I dont think it ever existed.  Ive looked at my Towny backups and it is not in any of them.

I did 'townyadmin town Washington_D.C. rename Washington_DC' on my production server and the residents .txt files have been changed to reflect the new name, but there is still no Towny/data/towns/Washington_DC.txt, and Essentials failed to create a new resident file for the renamed town, though I did find Essentials/userdata/town_washington_d_c_.yml.

I did more renames to see that the Essentials error did not repeat. I did 'Washington_dc' and 'Washington_DC' again with no more errors, but still no Towny/data/Washington_DC.txt.

Im afraid to restart the server for fear the town will vanish!

Is there a way to force towny to write out the towns txt file?

Thanks in advance,

Perry

I'm still studying the situation, and looked at the latest change log for 0.86.0.2, which im not running yet.

I did a grep of townblocks/wold/* to see what was recorded for 'Washington_DC' in any of the variants the Mayor has used recently, and came up way short, only 5 of 364 plots, although since he renamed the town yet again in the past hour, the newest name shows up in that search for about 3/4 of the desired number of plots.

If ive been bitten by the "Fix renaming towns so they no longer forget their townblocks part way through updating" bug, is there a fix?  On restart will Towny write to the townblocks/world/* files that have not been updated?

You'll want to replace the mention of the townname in teh townblocks with
w/e name is the proper one, and update to teh latest dev.

there had been a bug in teh saving when a player renames their town too
quickly to numerous names. this bug should be fixed now

Ah, good, i can blame it on the Mayor for spamming 'set name', but still more work for me fixing any lost plots...

Feature Request:  If it is not already implemented, a CoolDown on 'set name'
