Hello All !
I have a question about the "Name Train", but from another sight...
Window in every "Name Train" has a just 25 places for letters. Is possible to expand and have more places ? (for example 40) ?
Well... as proven by this picture, you have in fact a limit of 30 characters.
Problem with raising limits is that it will never be good enough for everyone.
So it's a matter of stating at one point: Here's what we believe is good enough for everyone.
enum {
MAX_LENGTH_VEHICLE_NAME_BYTES = 31, ///< The maximum length of a vehicle name in bytes including '\0'
MAX_LENGTH_VEHICLE_NAME_PIXELS = 150, ///< The maximum length of a vehicle name in pixels
};

If you are not ready to work a bit for your ideas, it means they don't count much for you.
OpenTTD and Realism? Well... Here are a few thoughs on the matter. He he he he

Where can I find this items ? I've opened openttd.cfg but it wasn't there...Thanks
Split topic from where Rocker had replied, as it had NOTHING to do with it. Rocker, please make sure next time you post a reply it is related to the topic

And do you know the name of the code file ? or something further about him...(download...)
I think I should start the google...
Come on, just do a search on the src folder for files containing "MAX_LENGTH_VEHICLE_NAME_BYTES". I don't know what kind of OS you're using, but it should be possible..
Information on downloading the source and compiling the game is found here: http://wiki.openttd.org/FAQ_development

<Lakie> Well, they do the same thing but the code is different.

Did you compile the code? You have to build a custom exe file.
(in the same way that a hard-copy of a Word file does not change when you change the computer file, the compiled program of OpenTTD does not change when you change the source).
To make a new OpenTTD program with your changes in it, you'll have to compile the modified source yourself, there is a wiki page on how to do that.
(which is easy to find so don't bother asking).
