Player Wallet Contents

Could we perhaps list the Wallet contents here? I only know of two currently - the Dwarvern Language Primer and Skull Key.

that's a good idea- the full contents of the wallet as of 1.3 are: dwarvish translation guide, rusty key, club card, special charm, skull key, magnifying glass, dark talisman, magic ink, bear's knowledge, and spring onion mastery. i would add a screencap of my completed wallet, but that will have to wait until i figure out how to upload the image. fourdollaremo (talk) 06:17, 28 June 2019 (BST) edit: never mind, there's already a page for it on the wiki. i think it would be a good idea to consolidate the wallet into the player page, but i think that'd be something to ask a mod or post on the admin noticeboard about before actually doing it. it would be kind of redundant to have both the page and the subsection. fourdollaremo (talk) 06:22, 28 June 2019 (BST)

Name restrictions and length

(For my below text, to distinguish "character", character will refer to the Unicode character and player will refer to the playable character.)

In the article, it is incorrectly noted that: "Your name and the farm's name. These are limited to 11 alphanumeric characters (latin letters and numbers only), but can contain any number of spaces."

• The allowed characters are (uppercase and lowercase) alphanumeric, as well as spaces and `~!@#$%^&*()_-=+[]{}\|;:',<.>/?. (I may have missed a few).
• The number of characters you may fit into these text-fields depends on the width of the displayed character. (For example, M is a wide character, so only 8 of these can fit. On the other hand, the exclamation mark and period are both narrow so !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (34 char) and .................................. (34 char) are valid names).
• Characters are stored as is, with some XML escaping for characters such as &, < and >.
• During character creation, some characters will be displayed differently (e.g. ]+ is displayed as ☺+).
• During character loading, some characters will be displayed differently (e.g. ]+ is displayed as ]☺).
• By editing the savefile, it is possible to input characters that cannot be entered during player creation (such as ") or non-Latin characters. However, only characters supported by the font files will be displayed.

Special Characters

The special characters appear differently when people in game say it, although they seem to omit some characters sometimes. I typed the line of characters that is here exactly, and the concentric circles, which sometimes appear as a coin like symbol was missing, as was the one next to it.

I got them all to appear in sequence. I had to put the dollar sign in three times for it to show up. MutantCarp (talk) 01:49, 15 April 2019 (BST)
