I'm getting considerable annoyed with the character limit for the team name and the names of your worms. Its tiny and I can't fit many of the names i want to fit in. Whats more, I've noticed serveral people with teams whos name exceeds the limit by miles.

Is there a way in which i can expand the character limit?

There is no official way yet.

The thing people whose names are longer than 16 characters do is use a program called TeamED that allows you to put 17-character team and worm names in, but will automatically repeat the team name after each worm name that's 17 characters long. And no, it doesn't look too good.

You obviously miss those 2 files...
Those "Various Required Files" are obviously required.

http://www.rrkit.com/utilities.php Interesting file, but it isnt aimed purely at extending the character limit, and 17 characters is still quite short. I think.

How many do you think you need?

17 characters is more than enough to have stupid and annoying names of worms....

It gets a bit annoying for other players when people have worm names blocking up the map's features.

I know you can remove them, but then you lose the ability to determine worm turn rotation.

And too bad Alt+Del drops the FPS in half.

How many do you think you need? Oh. Hah. Sorry, when i typed 17 i was thinking 7 for some reason.

Well where did "seven" come from anyway? I can fit 16 characters in my team name.

Well now I'm as confused as you are :p

So just to recap: is 16 characters not enough?

If thats the original limit, no. I need about 5 more.
