Does anyone have any idea how to overcome/ hack the 11 character limit for halo 1 pc profile names?

If so please explain here...

Thanks...

if you use the profile hack by omega it will show over 11 characters. but it will only show it in the ui only. this meaning it will only show it on your profile and in the bottom left of the screens when in your ui.

breaking the 11 characters would require modding the server side maps cause that function is controlled there. there will only be 11 spaces alloted for a name unless you mod thoes maps and im sure that requires hex editing to thoes maps.

if you dont know what server side means, its the maps the server has to run on. when you join a server that server has a set of maps simular to the maps you have in your halo maps folder with the exception of them not having a sounds.map or a bitmaps.map. these map are what control things like the character limit.

your not going to be able to do this and have everyone see it. if you mod your own maps you will get a exception error as soon as you join a game cause your client side maps will not match thoes on the server side. it has to sync.

ive tried this myself about 2 years ago and this is my knowledge messing with this idea.

Pepsi...you basically have an idea but you need to get your points straight.

No Server Sided is the memory controlled by the server. It sometimes get synced to the clients and sometimes not.
