Optional Watermark for Server [1.7.7]

Valued Member!
I put this up on dayzmod.com but haven't gotten many replies so I figured I ask you lot.

[NEW] - Added optional watermark for servername (Server admins can choose to enable/disable. (See Mission prerequisites)). Shows servername in the bottom right of screen max 6 letters.

Is there anyway to go beyond the max letters? I need 3 more.

I tried adjusting the width, but it appears of you change the value the watermark won't show at all.

If anyone has any idea's or suggestions let me know. Thanks!
 
I put mine straight in the mission file directly, not knowing there was a character limit, and it truncated it automatically at six characters. Haven't found a way around that yet.
 
That's the entire guide for adding the watermark - handy on prior versions - but it pointed me in the right direction, so thanks. :) I didn't realize until I read that about the description.ext edits.

Find this block in description.ext, towards the end --

Code:
class wm_text2 {
                idc = 1;
                x = safeZoneX+0.027;//safeZoneW*0.01;
                y = safeZoneY+safeZoneH-0.16;
                w = 1.151*safeZoneH;
                h = 0.057*safeZoneH;
                shadow = 2;
                class Attributes

The "w =" value was initially 0.151 - I randomly changed it to 1.151 and that was enough to let me include my full URL in the server name.

Still debating whether it's "too much," but it can be done.

Here is a german tutorial to do it manually, if you can't speak german then I would consider to ask someone to translate you or use a translator tool cause unfortunately I haven't the time at the moment to translate it :)

So I literally just copied and pasted whatever it said in the link to google translate, so I just wanted to save you guys some time and just make a pastebin link in english. I can tell that some words are off, but hey the point comes across!

Do you have spaces in your server name? I can't get it to work on my server.
