@Nico: Read the comments before yours....................

Why won't you be attempting to fix it?

Is there an equivalent for weapon names?

I don't have Last Gift, but I'm getting freezing, I haven't even changed anybody's name yet.

@goodfoot and anyone else who needs it, krj12 has made one that now works https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=715700207

anyone come up with a new mod that could give longer nicknames?

@George Zavatsky: Likely not. As usually the patches are the main-culprit for breaking mods, and you get those even without having the DLC.

does it works w/out last gift?

tear r.i.p. mod

@Peewi, if my changes prove stable, i'd have no problems with you taking my code and republishing yours. I dont want to hijack anyone's mod.

Ok, did a quick conversion to a screen listener based mod, would appreciate help testing this:

I think there's SOMEWHERE in the .ini's that you can increase the character size...something that this mod was doing...

Tried copying this mod and just doing a recompile. Doesnt appear to be sufficient, I started by changing a soldier's name, and the game locked up on me. If I had to guess, they've messed with the Flash assets, and whatever they've done doesnt like the extended names.

Welp, that sucks. Let's hope someone else takes the reins and makes this come back, as XCOM 2's name space is way too short.

@Armacron:

Sadly the author, Peewi decided to call it quits with regards to the mod so we'll probably won't get an update from him anymore. Sad I know...

Please please fix this, i really really like this mod a lot!

@krj12: Since you could export longer named characters to your pool and people without this mod could still use them fine...unless Firaxis has removed the feature that too long names just scroll through(which would be absolutely STUPID), it should not...but that's just my guess.

Unsubscibed for the moment, until this is fixed. Are my existing soldiers with longer names going to break the game?

Same here. Lock up and massive log files when making any customisations to soldiers in CP or gameplay.

Verify game files, no luck. Complete re-install, no luck. Unable to pin down issues to any texture based mod as I initally suspected might be the problem. Tried to export soldiers but file ended up empty.

Eventually decided to disable this mod and everything's back to normal.

May just need a quick rebuild & re-publish with the latest version of the mod kit but unfortunately I have to unsubscribe for now.

Another report of frozen game and spammed logfile, specifically when attempting to back out of any of the "Props" sub-menus.

This mod is causing my game to crash whenever it tries to write a new character file that I have customized in any way (including altering appereance)

is this causing issues with regular gameplay, or only when actually naming a character?
do i need to unsubscribe and rename all my soldiers to shorter names?

Yes, it freezes the game spamming the log file (1.6 GB in one minute, holy cow).

I did some testing and come up with this mod crashing the game during naming as of latest patch.

@Peewi brilliant, thanks for that

That would be because I have already updated it.

@Daiggsta:

Nope, this mod still works as intended on my end :)

Maybe you have another mod that's causing the issue you're having?

This appears to be broken by the latest patch, hopefully someone else can confirm this

Thanks!

@Feezec: And it was never supposed to. You can use the Mod for renaming secondary weapons for that. As it also includes the ability to make the names of weapons(primary and secondary) longer.

I don't think this is working with weapon nicknames.

Thanks so much for this mod, the nicknames length is way too restrictive atm.

Any chance you could put this on the Nexus? :)

Finally, my guy with pigtails can be called Pippi Longshottings

Correction to my post before: *mod that allows you to rename secondary weapons

Is it also possible to get rid of biography length limit?

@the 2 below me: If this modder doesn't, you could also take the mod that allows you to rename weapons, as it has that feature in it for weapon-names.

I know it's said to death, but please, if possible, find a way to lengthen weapon names, too. They're too gosh darn short!

Could you add weapon name length? It would make me very happy!

Hey. I'm posting for broadcasting volume to mod authors I'm subbed to, in case this applies to you and you haven't yet fixed the Memory issues inherent to many mods due to a ModBuddy error: https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/comments/48c8v3/psavoicepacks_and_other_mods_to_a_lesser_extent/

Please double check if this bug in ModBuddy may apply to your mod to help modded X2 games run better.

Is there also a way to allow longer soldier-biographies?

weapon names?

Thanks for this. My Tiny Tina can have "Badonkadonks" for nickname now.

Lmao the name example cracked me up so hard xP

Does anyone know if there is a mod like this for biography and epitaph?

Where can we edit that, Ser?

Nexus, pretty please? Thanks!

@Yamino, I found the .ini edit for the secondary weapons renaming...I got it up to 30.

@Yamino, nope...it doesn't lengthen the # of characters for either weapons. I'm hoping this one does...

@Punished "Venom" Kevin: You could usethe mod that allows renaming secondary weapons for that too...it has that functionality for weapons as well after all. :x

Can you do something similar to allow longer names for weapons? It's ridiculous how short those have to be
