char name size increase

[Dastgir]

Currently the size is 24 , is there any possibilities to make it near 40 chars?. Or is there any way to put a tag before character name like (MvPMaster),etc . I have sql which stores this tags , I just want to know how to edit in src so that it display the tag properly.

Thanks.

you can use

@fakename [TAG] Name

if you want to display the party / guild after used @fakename...apply this

http://rathena.org/board/topic/60188-fakename-show-guildparty/page__hl__fakename

or you can edit this part..

trunk/src/common/mmo.h

//For character names, title names, guilds, maps, etc.
//Includes null-terminator as it is the length of the array.
#define NAME_LENGTH (23 + 1)

and make sure you edit the SQL character table to store more characters in name string..xD

ALTER TABLE `ragnarok`.`char` CHANGE COLUMN `name` `name` VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''  ;

edit this...

VARCHAR(40)

I think this also have to deal with client packet and hexing client to support up to 24+. Changing the limit in mmo won't help much

Changing mmo.h doesn't work, tried at morning. Even clif.c doesn't help , half name goes in party bracket, I increased packet length also, still it goes into party bracket ,about fakename it does not go more than 24 chars . Anyone who is confirmed about how to so this plz post. I don't think its only in src but also in client, src side I have done my best but. Cannot locate how to bring the name out of bracket which is going insde party nae bracket(client side)

BUMP!

impossible with source edit alone

you need some people who knows how to hex client ( like shinryo ) to enable name length above 23

so yeah its an edit with both source edit and client hexing

this modification is damn tough ... I don't think shinryo will be interested in doing this

and there's too few members in this board know how to hex a client
