If you can't find it in "%APPDATA%\PlaneShift\planeshift.cfg", you could add it (but search for it to avoid double entries, this file is not sorted alphabetically).

I've been triple checking myself, scrolling through it manually, then I use the 'Find' option in WordPad with different words, and I still come up with nothing.
I tried adding the line, nothing.  Retitled and added it, still nothing.

I don't know why this one thing has become impossible for me!
So you are using Win?  It doesn't make sense why mine would be so different (I'm Win Vista x64, but still).

Oh well, I appreciate all the help. 
I'll have to come up with another solution I guess.

No luck.  I give up for now.
I hope we can find a solution, because I can't game like this.



And yes, I know I'm using a large widescreen size/aspect that I'd prefer not to reduce.

Can someone give me some tips on how to mod the text size larger?
I'm really having trouble reading the chat window.
At the moment I go back and forth between max/min my chat window just to see around it.
I see a lot of skin mods here, but nothing dealing specifically with text size.
Help!

I'm hoping there is just some value/percent in a .cfg or .ini file somewhere.
(I understand there is an increase by windowsize option in game that would change how this is normally written.)
After browsing through all 3 .cfg files though, I've given myself a headache.

Thanks for the link.  I had checked the complaint forum and the wish forum thoroughly, but seeing that I was trying to bring my complaint under proper attention, I posted here than inside the general forum.

Thanks for bringing up the extra info though.

P.S. the complaint being last names already in use (not about discussing having one in general).

*edit*

Also, let me mention my complaint was to represent all newcomers...if you've already been here you may not have had any trouble coming up with a last name at all.

Yet, I suspect it would be harder over time for newcomers to find meaningful names not already snatched up by older users (or even variations of some names).

Of course, I guess they could just start allowing people to use names like "sw33t ch33ks" to help the naming issue.

Thank you!  I am so glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought this a feature that could/should be changed.

I'm glad to hear someone at least considered working on it.  Amongst a small group of players, one might not foresee naming an issue.  But when you have 25K players...it's just unrealistic.  Sadly, few games consider names important, fewer still explore how enriching they make the gaming experience. 

Yet, I can see the argument for having a unique, creative player name.  But seeing all these unique names...hard to think we've been in the land of Yliakum for 700 years.
