Re: Does anyone know the character limit for level names?
Spaces are included in the limit. 36 bytes are allocated for the name, and the spaces need to fit in there somewhere.

Also you may want to run a check mine in the diagnostics tab in case something like a bad wall is causing issues.

The police unions are. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-06-16/police-unions-contracts-misconduct (which in turn cites the Duke Law Journal) It's the unions which actively block accou...

That effect is hardcoded into Descent 1. Aside from modifying the default behavior of the robot itself, it is impossible to override robots in this way.

Re: Extracting Textures
I'm not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure that the images are palette references to descent.256.
Something else you can try if you have a level editor (i.e. DLE) is exporting the image from within the editor. It takes longer, but you do get a standard image format as a result.
