QUESTION ON STRINGS

from Sins Forums

I have been changing strings in the most recent version of SOASE Entrenchment, and when I came back to check it with the Dev.exe v1.0.5.1, I came across this error:

Assert @ c:\gs\entrenchment\CodeSource\Engine/String/StringLibrary.cpp(99)

 

GetLength( source ) < destination.m_BufferSize

 

I personally believe that the strings are too long and that is what is causing this error, but I don't know the current maximum character length (to include spaces).

 

So my question is two parts.

1. What does this error mean exactly (and where can I possibly find a debug list of specific error values).

2. What is the maximum allowed characters for strings?

(okay, so maybe that was three parts)

 Yep! you can only put a certain amount of info per string entry. I can't remember exactly how many words are allowed, but from memory, once you get beyond three lines your getting close to the limit. Its because only so much can fit in the pop up windows for the string info. There is no list that I know of that tells you what exactly the errors stand for.

Thanks superzero, I have seen you make comments on other threads, so I trust what you say.

Three lines huh, well that's much more than I thought, but I will have to make some creative wordplay in order to have some descriptions make the cut.

Thanks :grin: !
