24 char client limit

[EternidadSS]

Hi,

 

There is a 24 char limit for everything (char name, login name, password...). The problem is that I want my users to login with their email address instead of user ID in order to increase security (there are people who know other users logins and crack their passwords with bruteforce), but many of them have a too long email address which doesn't fit on game login input.

 

Anyone knows how can I hex the client so I can increase the 24 char max limit for the login input? Just for the login (user ID field), don't need to change the 24 char limit in the whole client (unless it be necessary). Any help or tip for this would be appreciated.

 

Thank you!!!!!!!!

Lol 24 is itself too big. Thats the max and so i think u cant go further than that.

Well, big or not the problem is an email address is usually longer than 24 characters. I understand it could be mad to try to increase the limit in the whole game, but I just need it for the login input window when the game starts, as the login is set to use email address instead of account name.

 

Any clue on this? Or I'll finally have to forget about it?
