i just got on mafia today and saw this seemd like DR is getting more serious about this shit. If blizzard ups the limit could he just add names to a list and not use codes at all?

This is to prevent people from using stolen donor codes.
I know, but i was wondering if he could just get rid of donor codes all together and add a list like there is for the ban list.Quote:

In the editor, you cannot declare or store player names as strings, meaning that he can't just simply add a list of donors and patrons via triggers. Another problem is the lack of name changing support, but Dark has gotten around this by using a custom-chat system. If Starcraft II supported player-name triggers, it would REALLY help map developers such as myself create role-playing games without having to create a complex chat-log system.
then how does he do the ban list it should work the same way for donorsQuote:

The problem is we dont have much room before the script limit and we need to save that to ban cheaters.
