The long teammate names above their heads

[Closed]

Is there any way to make them shorter?
Im using wolfhud, and i've gone through the options a few times and couldnt find anyway to limit the characters for the names, not to mention their level is also next to their names,
and every name is filling half my screen rofl.
My screen is a complete mess most of the time, making it hard for me to see things..

Is there any mod you know can help with that?
Or is there any option that I missed in wolfhud?
maybe in the vanilla settings?
I couldnt find any, I tried to search google but I dont know how to find it,
If anyone can offer some help I'll be greatful :)

Well, what are you looking for? If the name is long the font gets smaller, or just cut the name after a certain length? I think i could make that for ya

[Closed]

Yeah! Cut the name after a certain length would be awesome!
And my hud shows the player level in the bottom of the screen, so i don't need it above their heads floating all over the screen, if it would be possible to remove the lvl above their heads it would be even better!
Either way it would be very much appreciated kind sir!

Alright, after how many characters do you want it to be cut? Also do you want a ... after the names?

[Closed]

Umm i think that 8 would be a a safe bet do you agree?
And i don't want the ... After the names, i think it would be nice like that what do you say?

[Xeletron™]

Sure. I can also add a slider in the mod options for it actually, so you can set the length however you want if you change your mind

[Closed]

Oh yeah that would be great!

Xeletron, when you say simple, how extensive is that? I use PocoHUD's system which can also truncates names while removing Clan Tags... I used to play with some people who's names combined with clantags would make them all read the same name under a basic character limiter.

[Xeletron™]

I meant that its just a BLT mod and you dont need anything else for it

Is this from a crashlog?

[Closed]

no its from the payday2\mods\logs folder

Try removing the comma after "identifier" : "ShorterNames"
