Name display in the "enter" screen

Post by NF-Elemental »

I have noticed for some time that names in the enter screen are quite often truncated in appearance. I know that the limit on characters for a player name is limited to 15, but It would be nice if all fifteen could actually be seen when you press the enter key. From testing I have done. I found that typing "i" 15 times will appear in game, but 15 "R" will not. So I believe the frame size is a fixed value. Perhaps increasing the frame for the name to a larger value would allow 15 Large characters to be displayed in game.

An example of the name truncation in game

Which version are you using?

The 2.3 series have a lot more space for names than 2.2.4.

2.3 Beta 7
After reading your post, i went back and double checked to make sure, and it is chopped off. (see screenshot)

I also checked 2.2.4. It appears the same as in 2.3 Beta 7

Oh, I thought you were talking about the hosting screen. Sure, I can resize that.
