| Summary | 0003314: Real Name Length | ||||
| Description | I've always notice Unreal's only allows 50 characters for the real name on someone's nick. This can be a little longer. I did the math with a who reply (longest line I was able to think of which included the real name), and the longest it could be is 316 with the current limits. (I think 316 is a little more than it can be, and I'm pretty sure I did the math right). I have attached a patch to increase the length from 50 to 70. I chose a length of 70 because that's what mIRC's max is. If anyone feels it should be more, feel free to make it larger. | ||||

I'm going to state the obvious .. what about the NICK command? as in, the s2s one. |
|
|
Even with NICKv2+NICKUP+CLK (from serverprotocol.html), the absolute most characters that would be sent is 398 (without the realname), so this leaves 512-398-4 (-4 for space, colon, and CRLF) = 110 characters for the realname field. A realname length of 70 would bring it up to 472, so there will still be room to spare. |

I would honestly rather have the space for extra fields in NICKv2. |
