Name Change Script

Battle Realms requires names to be no more than 20 characters and it stores them by using the filename of the profile. This script will sanitize the name and attempt to replace the old profile. Otherwise, it will scaffold a new one. Make sure to put a ProfileTemplate.brp in the install directory for your archive.

# Takes the variable $Filename, splits it by invalid characters, then joins to remove them
$OldPlayerAlias = $OldPlayerAlias.Split([IO.Path]::GetInvalidFileNameChars()) -join ''
$NewPlayerAlias = $NewPlayerAlias.Split([IO.Path]::GetInvalidFileNameChars()) -join ''

# Trim a string down to a specified amount of characters
if ($OldPlayerAlias.Length -gt 20) {
    $OldPlayerAlias = $OldPlayerAlias.Substring(0, 20);
}

if ($NewPlayerAlias.Length -gt 20) {
    $NewPlayerAlias = $NewPlayerAlias.Substring(0, 20);
}

if (Test-Path "$InstallDirectory\PlayerProfiles\$OldPlayerAlias.brp") {
    Rename-Item -Path "$InstallDirectory\PlayerProfiles\$OldPlayerAlias.brp" -NewName "$InstallDirectory\PlayerProfiles\$NewPlayerAlias.brp"
} else {
    Copy-Item -Path "$InstallDirectory\ProfileTemplate.brp" -Destination "$InstallDirectory\PlayerProfiles\$NewPlayerAlias.brp"
}
