I wonder if any of the more experienced modders know why this change doesn't work. I recompiled the (K-Mod) DLL with the following minor change:
I've had a hell of a time locating the various parts of code that actually reference these limits, and I fear that they actually be hardcoded in the executable itself. I have not been able to find all of the code for the Rename City edit boxes, but I did find this snippet which directly references the PLAYERINFO limit:
This seems to suggest that it directly uses those character limits for the start-of-game customization menu. But in-game, there is no difference to the default limit of 32, and city names are still limited to 15. I don't expect it to look good having names that are way too long, but I was hoping it would at least sort of work. Are these #defines actually deprecated, and the true values lie within the realm of the hardcoded untouchable elements of the GUI?
Code:
CvDefines.h #69
// Char Count limit for edit boxes
#define PREFERRED_EDIT_CHAR_COUNT (64) // City name upper limit?, default=15
#define MAX_GAMENAME_CHAR_COUNT (32) // Menu game name, default=32
#define MAX_PLAYERINFO_CHAR_COUNT (64) // Leader/Empire/Adj, default=32I've had a hell of a time locating the various parts of code that actually reference these limits, and I fear that they actually be hardcoded in the executable itself.
