'Bigger' scoreboard

Hi!


So, I was working on my server, and the one thing that crashes me is because of my scoreboard.
I know why, it's because I'll put something too long on it, and I crash.

There is a server that I've seen someone play on, and there scoreboard is way more than 16 characters long. (I will try to find a screeny later)

But, I was wondering, is this possible to do this with bukkit(and how)? Thanks!

 

As far as i am aware there is not a way to change the size. I am still new to bukkit so i could be wrong. But my guess would be that it will require an external mod.

 

rbrick It wasn't a mod. It was on some sort of big prison server (cant think of the name, brain derp)

But, I think it may be possible with packets or something.

 

As i said still relatively new, don't trust me

 

I'm afraid there is a set limit. (probably 16 chars, as that is the max length of a string that can be sent in one packet) It cannot be changed

EDIT: That server is probably using a modded api extension such as SpigotMC

Spout*

Spigot is a higher performance version of CraftBukkit, Spout is the one with all the mods and stuff.

 

There are many modded apis, this is the one I prefer:
http://www.spigotmc.org/

 

Quantum64 xTrollxDudex Well, is there a way I can do it without those? Or does spigot allow it or something?

 

Use team prefixes/suffixes. And spigot has absolutely nothing to do with this, it's a client disconnect.

 

maybe using the player's sidebar as a player list?
