':' not a valid character in the Projects tab

Post by [TFA]Padawan_Fighter »

Okay, so I want my 'Projects' tab (that thing on the left side of the screen, under the profile pic) to show that I'm working on Nekrolia: Infection. But it doesn't allow the colon (:) to be in that tab.

I find this a major flaw (or bug, whatever. Note that I don't mean to use the word 'flaw' in a harsh manner, I just couldn't find a nicer word) in this particular feature, as almost every mod map for Battlefront II will have a colon in it.

What's wrong with just using a - character?

Sorry, but that's just the way the code is built - Guru would have to custom code those fields otherwise, which isn't as easy as some seem to think.

hmm...I guess I understand. But what about the limit? Surely there is some way to expand it.

What? I know he can't change it, and it sucks, because I'd like to use a colon.
