Dethkarz stores the name of the player for multiplayer in the dk.db file as a raw ASCII string with a max length of 12. This offset might change if this file changes in size at all. 

# Converts a string to a UTF16-encoded byte array. This looks like ASCII characters separated by 0x00 in most cases.
