<![CDATA[Stupid new lobby description]]>After some patch, the full text in the lobby description is not visible, this is strange.
Previously, three or four lines of description of lobby were visible, but now the description only appears on one line. As someone who loves mods and regularly hosts modded games, I'm perplexed and don't think this is a good change. I can't even fit in some of the information about the game I created. Why did you do this? For what?

Well, if it's a bug, it's great that we (or rather, you) found it.

I noticed that in your screenshots the listed mods don't go outside of the game box but in mine it does:
{D95E3897-B698-4E85-92E0-12A7BD3F70E8}.png

I also tested some different names and got weird results in that the ui truncates text instead of using additional lines as needed:
"123456789 123456789" (2 copies)
5cb7cf3f-e498-4ff5-9b41-e77914483d99-{04FA8F6F-4119-4B63-8754-6B3293C5A255}.png

"123456789 123456789 123456789" (3 copies)
"123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789" (4 copies, same result)
a38d52b9-31c4-4e93-8b3b-3b2e22e6b17f-{2210DA16-6AD2-4C12-A0BB-01ABC6ADBC09}.png

"123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789" (5 copies)
"123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789" (6 copies, same result)

9+ copies the mods text clips out of the box but no additional title text is displayed

So according to this test there is a chance that your text might be too long to be shown on 2 lines but too long to expand to 3 lines.
"SpamLandWar mode TMRebalance v10. No air/arty. New units,eco"

"SpamLandWar mode TMRebalance v10. No air/arty. New units, eco ddddddddddd"
shows as above, but
"SpamLandWar mode TMRebalance v10. No air/arty. New units, eco dddddddddddd" (one more d)
shows as
e782be36-f6ff-4215-9dab-83de15ce2bfc-{0455574A-039A-4AEF-B63F-BFA14F1B65FB}.png

This is what your text looks like when I use it:

The text highlighted on the right is unfortunately not displayed in the small tile; was it different before? I have no comparison.

New units,balance,eco. No air/arty/sat/. Long T3 Tech. 2v2 3v3 4v4"

  • After the test, you have 72 sign available for the small icon.
  • In the long test, you have 117 sign available.

Each red horizontal line represents 10 characters.

Unfortunately, I don't know what was possible before.

But I don't think this bug was intentionally introduced. I rather suspect that this scenario wasn't tested during the modification process.

Now, only two lines are visible, and it's become very uninformative.
