Invalid Names

Post by kgrroth »

I've come across a weird situation in LE. I have several teams I was working on updating and now all of a sudden I keep getting invalid name messages for several of them. It is not allowing me to save the data unless I change their names, the funny thing is these are players that have already been played several games already and I didn't have that problem with them before. Is there a way around this glitch?

The teams or the players?

Players. I have an amazon named Agnes Spearchucker and a dwarf named Blackie One-Eye and they both had a couple of games in. After two games I tried to update their stats and I kept getting an invalid name message.

I run a solitaire league on exhibition and update the teams manually after playing the games.

I was not allowed to name a Necro team Reanimation Domination.

Was a team that I was making for solo. Not sure what other names / words are banned, but there you go.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Blood Bowl Chaos Edition\Data\Manager\badwords has a list in it - open it with notepad. There are some really random entries though: Spearchucker is in it, as is Blackie.

I suspect editing it may allow SP games to use those words, but I'm, less certain about MP. I've not tried it.
