givemoney command requires correct case

May 26, 2013 Savet link
All other commands (that come to mind) will auto-correct case.

/msg "savet hegar" will send to "Savet Hegar"

However, givemoney does not autocorrect.

/givemoney "savet hegar" will return unknown name error.

Couple this with the fact that most givemoney situations are....tense.

When they die because they just spent 2 minutes trying to type a give money command on a droid only to be told the name can't be found, this is not a good player experience, and should be corrected.

For string comparisons I recently learned to do: string.lower(string). It should be applied here.

Change the command to /give or /trans while you're at it...

You can use the UI interface to give money by selecting the other player and opening the CharInfo menu. There's a 'give money' button there you can use.

ray, that is correct, but that is not a fix to the bug.

In addition, I think it would be helpful to the giver of the money to be able to use a comma.

I think I've accidentally received 1 mil more than once from a .... client... who wanted to give only 100k.

1000000 looks very similar to 100000 when adrenaline is pumping and a warning shots are being fired.

100,000 is cleaner and easier to count for the zeros.

lol commas in numbers went out with writing paper letters. :)

It'd be great if there was an easy way to open the CharInfo screen on mobile/touch platforms. Maybe longpress on the sector list or something? At the moment, the only way to do it is to type /charinfo

/me looks at his in-game credit display, and disagrees with ARF.

Interesting suggestions. Put them in suggestions and/or create a support ticket so it would get into our pipeline. (I suggest a ticket, but both would be fine too.)
