Question Info: MAX_PLAYER_NAME - Speed++ - 26.06.2012

The max player name is 24...

but in the various servers, you can not enter with 24 characters, the limit of characters is 20, so.. why ?

Re: Question Info: MAX_PLAYER_NAME - Kindred - 26.06.2012

I guess people want the limit to be 20, kind of self explanatory.

PHP код:



#undef MAX_PLAYER_NAME 
        #define MAX_PLAYER_NAME 20

Have fun

He never asked for how to do it, he asked why they did it.

So, if you really want to know, ask the owners of the server, or a scripter for them.

Some characters count for 2 if I recall correctly. I think "[" is one of them

Re: Question Info: MAX_PLAYER_NAME - Makaveli93 - 26.06.2012

Maybe some of their variables involving player names are set to be 21, so I guess that's the reason. Also, 24 characters is kinda long. It's really a personal preference.

SetPlayerName can support up to 24 characters. That's the only reason.

Yes, you're right, some foreign characters take two letter space.
