Just a quick thread to add some info for anyone who is confused when not being able to use /store (aka !store) or /credits (aka !credit) on one of the Skial servers.

Usually it is one of two common problems:
  1. The server you are playing on does not have access to the /store plugin as it has not been added yet, this occurs more commonly with EU servers but soon most servers will have this plugin.
  2. Your steam name contains an emoji/symbol or multiple emojis/symbols, the solution to this problem is simply just to remove the emojis/symbols from your name in order to use the store plugin.
Once again just making this short thread to help out confused players since I have seen more than one post about individuals not being able to use the store and thought it's worth making a thread.

Hope this helped!

As far as I know the plugin isn't on the idle server and it wouldn't really make sense either since people could simply farm points while AFK so I doubt it has been added or will be added to the idle server unfortunately. The idle server in particular since it obviously has no AFK manager due to it being an idle server meaning people could be using anti-AFK commands such as +right or +forward to seem not AFK and still be getting credits.

The emoticons actually have nothing to do with the command because when i went to test this, i took off my emoticons and it still didnt work, and while also testing this, yesterday i went to all custom servers, including with my alt, my alt went to all EU and US servers and i went to all NY servers... then that seems kinda suspisous now doesnt it?
 
Ah alright after some more testing with Gamer Mk 1[FGC] I have determined that you actually have to reconnect to the server after changing your name for the fix to work, he has confirmed that it now works and that emoticons are still the problem.

Just to reiterate: After changing your name to one without emoticons/symbols you must reconnect to the server.

The reason why emojis didn't bug out on other people's servers is because we use a modified sourcemod that supports the insertion of emojis. On regular installs, emojis and other 4 byte utf characters are simply stripped. This was an annoying issue for our sourcebans where someone's name would be unrecognizable without the emojis they had. This is the kind of stuff we have to deal with which is why the store is labled as BETA. We reserve the right to change prices or remove items! If we find out it causes crashes or lag, we may also have to remove it, but so far it seems okay.

You should be able to use emojis in your name and use the store now.
