Hi....
I am trying to display my name but my name gets cut off, or displayed as no name. How can i fix it...
-
Use less colors. Each color change takes up a character.
-
this is close to my name
;DAM ;D(SPARK) In colors... and i don't think thats alot...
-
If you use a different color for each character, it is. Limit yourself to one or two colors.
-
Even a better way to make sure your name doesn't get cut off is not to use color at all.
-
Yeah but i see thousands of people with a long colored name...
-
Sometimes when i don't use colors, it says noname...
-
That's because you don't have your name set up correctly in general. Add it to your config or something.
If you saw thousands of people jumping off a bridge, would you too? ;)
-
I tried both menu setup_funname... and by going to setup multiplayer setup ... too.
Of course i would jump off a bridge, if everybody was doing it. ;D
What kinda question is that. :P
-
longest I've gotten with different colors for each letter is about 8 characters. After that it cuts them off.

Names are limited to 32 characters. Color codes take 2 characters, so if you're doing a different color for each letter, you're using 3 characters per letter, so a max of 10 letters. Also be careful that you're not putting in multiple color codes for a single letter -- that just wastes characters.
