Description

While making #72, two ideas for new match config settings came to mind:

  • rlbot.allow_empty_names (default false): If false, empty names are replaced by "Unnamed".
  • rlbot.allow_duplicate_names (default false): If false, the names are appended a number, e.g. (2).

They are purely QoL features with no demand, but also easy to make.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing match configuration settings and the code that assigns or validates player names. Add the two settings with their stated defaults and behaviors, then verify that empty names and duplicate names are handled only when the corresponding setting is disabled.
