Trailing spaces in ArmA 3 username

[bovine3dom]

ArmA 3 lets you use trailing spaces in profile names. TeamSpeak does not. This causes TeamSpeak to spam "username already exists" when you join a game server.

Could TFR inform the user of the issue? Would probably save somebody somewhere a headache.

The rename system should be reworked anyway.

1. Is the renaming really needed?
2. Trim strings so they are allowed by teamspeak
3. Implement own name conflict check to make sure setting the name doesnt error out
4. Handle errors on setting the name.

Im currently solving this but. Im fighting between removing trailing spaces or replacing them with some char. Removing them would create problems if two players had the same ingame name only that one has a trailing space. Replacing them may look ugly.
Also i dont know what char to use when replacing. We have Unicode support so... That may be an interesting task.
For now im implementing it as replacing trailing spaces with a .

Fix is implemented in 1.0. Problem right now is I'm just replacing spaces with . that doesn't look that great though. And we cant just remove the spaces because that could create duplicate names. Can anyone suggest a nice UTF-8 char that I can use as a replacement? If not maybe I'll switch to _ or just remove the chars... Whats the chance anyway that one player is called "test" and another is called "test " but I'd prefer to obivate (just learned a new word) against new issue reports.

Alt+255, "unsplitable space" ?

No teamspeak filters that.. We could use http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2062/index.htm which is not filtered and invisible but.. Teamspeak may fix that

I will replace trailing spaces with _
Currently teamspeak still produces an error on setting the client Nickname. Im not sure what causes that so I will keep this open till i solved that.
SetName is called on every FREQ command. Which come in rapid succession at first TFAR load. Tries to set name before teamspeak processed the previous set command
