Hello, today, I'll present a complete guide on how to increase the length of character names. Simply changing the character limit isn't enough some interfaces need adjustments, such as the friend request window, the field for entering the player's nickname when sending a private message, and during character creation. When designing the interface, consider how many characters will be allowed to ensure that player names fit comfortably. 

UserInterface/StdAfx.h

Find:

PLAYER_NAME_MAX_LEN = 12,

Change:

PLAYER_NAME_MAX_LEN = 24, // Specifies the maximum number of characters allowed for a player name.

game/src/input_login.cpp

Find:

void CInputLogin::CharacterCreate (LPDESC d, const char* data)

if (strlen (pinfo->name) > 12)
{
	d->Packet (&packFailure, sizeof (packFailure));
	return;
}

Change:

if (strlen (pinfo->name) > 24)
{
	d->Packet (&packFailure, sizeof (packFailure));
	return;
}

root/uiwhisper.py

Find:

def LoadDialog(self):

self.resizeButton.SetPosition(280, 180)

Change:

self.resizeButton.SetPosition(380, 180)

SQL Queries:

ALTER TABLE player MODIFY COLUMN name VARCHAR(24);
ALTER TABLE player_deleted MODIFY COLUMN name VARCHAR(24);

ALTER TABLE change_name MODIFY COLUMN old_name VARCHAR(24), MODIFY COLUMN new_name VARCHAR(24);
ALTER TABLE command_log MODIFY COLUMN username VARCHAR(24);
ALTER TABLE levellog MODIFY COLUMN name VARCHAR(24);
