15 Character Limit

[Ethan]

We might be able to have 48 worms on a map, but has anyone else noticed that there is a 15 character limit on both scheme names and team names.

It might seem petty, but I have found on repeated occasions that this is too few characters.

Before WMD came out I was playing WA using a team name of 'Victor & Friends'... which with one less character reads 'Victor & Friend'. Poor old Victor, the rest of his team has abandoned him!

In all seriousness, the fact that scheme names have the same limit is even more anoying. I wanted to create an 'Intermediate' variant with less vehichles. (e.g. playing classic maps which are much smaller than a full size WMD map, don't work very well with soo many vehicles)
Anyway, it makes sense to rename the variant somthing like, 'Intermediate - less vehicles', because players know what to expect when using an offical scheme name in the title, but unfortuntely we can't.

What's more strange is that most of the offical scheme names are using more than 15 characters! Mainly because they have the word 'scheme' written after them. Try editing an existing scheme, then saving it. You will find that you can't type anything else untill you've removed several characters.

By the way... I am still enjoying Worms WMD dispite this petty flaw!

Yeah I agree with you. For some reason Team17 have often been stingy with letter count when it comes to team names going right back to the first game. I don't really see a legitimate reason for it.

I especially have problems naming my schemes.

Agreed, feels quite limiting.

I noticed the character count when making my team. I've always used the same team name (8-UP WIT DA FUNK) and now I had to change it to '8UP WIT DA FUNK.' Hopefully we get a complete overhaul of the online portion of WMD and get a proper global chat channel with the ability to host and name our host anything we want (not tied to what scheme we are hosting) with longer character limits.

what i'd like it to pick random worms to be put in teams i'm tired of only seeing the 1st 3 worm named i created each time...
