Sometimes my name gets cut off, other times it doesn't... ?

Post by TheMeb »

I have noticed this on the Bani Objective server (running 1.1.whatever)
and noticed that at the top of the screen where it reports gibs and deaths etc. it sometimes cut my name off. For instance:

My name is {EWG}Gen:THEMEB. When get killed says

{EWG}THEM was killed by Bob

but then right after that it might say

{EWG}THEMEB gibbed himself

I usually don't pay much attention to that part of the screen, but just noticed and thought it was kind of odd.

I am kinda curious about this too. My name always shows up correcty on servers, but when I look at the log file or do a condump it cuts the last character out of my name. Also csports reports the crippled name too. I know there is a character limit but if the name shows up in the server correctly it should in theory show up correctly in the logs too. Huh, oh well, if anyone knows more about this please enlighten us.

That's not a suprise, but why would it also change in my log files?
