Weapon and unit info size increase
 

Hi Don and Andy,
First of all, thanks for a great game!! Love it. I have a request though. Is it possible to increase the size of the space where the unit and weapon names are written? I'm tweaking the OOB's to the same format (e.g. for the weapons, calibre and designation) but it seems that I run out of room with just 2 or 3 characters to go. Same with the unit names. Would it require much to increase the space?

Thanks again!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I think that those limitations are hardcoded into the game. This is likely why specific designations are not always used. I've experienced the same issue and have come up with interesting abbreviations and shortenings.

Only a complete and total rewrite of the entire game code, plus all the saved data (scenarios, campaigns, oobs etc), since you have now changed the base data structures. Then probably a complete re-do of the layout of nearly every user interface screen, as all the strings are now bigger and so unlikely to fit. Then rewrite all the mobhack code ditto.

Cheers
Andy
