Available Unit column

Hi

Is there any way to resize the Available Unit column? My unit names
are pretty long and I could use more space here.

Thanks

Pete

Edit the definition file to reduce the space given to the game stats; this
should increase the amount of 'unused' space that gets used for the name.
If you can't edit the definition file (if, for example, you're adding stuff
to someone elses datafiles), then I'm afraid you're out of luck.

Well I just tried this and only had a single stat and got rid of the options
column, but both the Available Unit and Unit Name columns remained where
they were. Unfortunately this prevents long unit names from displaying
properly.

The size of the name doesn't increase much, but it does increase a bit (and
of course there's more space if you're running at a higher resolution) when
you decrease the amount of space the stats take up. What sort of names are
you having problems with? I know the Babylon 5 Wars files have Issues with
ship names being too long at 800x600, but once you get up to 1024x768 or
higher they're fine.
