Scoreboard text > 16 with colors?

Hi guys,
I'm having a problem, I would like to make a scoreboard text with less then 16 characters, but it does count the chatcolor at the moment, is there any way to display it with color, but over 16 characters?
Example:

Code:java

objective.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(ChatColor.RED + "H" + ChatColor.GREEN + "i" + ChatColor.GOLD + " t" + ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "h" + ChatColor.GRAY + "e" + ChatColor.BLUE + "r" + ChatColor.DARK_RED + "e"))

It is disconnect people because the lenght is over 16 characters due to the colors... It should just say Hi there, with colors.
How to fix this?

 

The prefix and suffix of a team can each have 32 characters, bringing the maximum characters up to 80.

I believe it's still 16, if it hasn't changed

 

What is 16? The prefix/suffix are 32.

I swear the suffix and prefix could only be 16 chars before, have it changed? Just checked the code, it is 32 :s

 

Prefix and suffix?? You have to get the score of an offline player, right? So first you need to make a temporary team, give it a prefix and/or suffix and then add the offline player to it before you put him on the scoreboard, right?

Try:

Code:java

objective.getScore(Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer("§4H§2i§6t§1h§8e§cr§4e"))

 

First of all that doesn't fix anything, and second it is the incorrect way to do it. What the OP is correct.

Yes, that is correct. You should also "Tag" or "Quote" people so they are alerted of your response, otherwise they will often either not return to the thread or return long after you respond by chance (like me right now).

 

Garris0n Thanks a lot!!! Also for the tag thingy, was already thinking why you wasn't responding
