Again, there is no TIME to change that. Forget it. There isn't even any USE in it. Increasing the name length, however, is easy: MAX_SCOREBOARDNAME can be increased without any large problems (but would annoy people who host mvdsv Quake servers). With some extra work, it could be increased for GAME_NEXUIZ only by doing if checks where it occurs. Anyone volunteer to do such a patch?
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again
You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

Instead of raising up MAX_SCOREBOARDNAME, could be a practicable solution to add another field: longname with a higher char limit, keeping the name?
I don't know the implications of this choice, whether it's harder or not to implement. The idea is to keep easily compatibility with the other games.

If you mean that every time a name is used in any algorithm I have to do a check of GAME_NEXUIZ, I can do it. Otherwise, I haven't enough knowledge to distinguish where I have to do it and where not.
So... If it is simple I guess I have to define a new constant: MAX_SCOREBOARDLONGNAME (>64) and use it only when GAME_NEXUIZ is true; if it's false I use the old MAX_SCOREBOARDNAME.
Div: Am I right? And what do you think about the previous post?

More complicated.
