[General] Problem with customizing Upkeep tooltip

[halleylight]

Hi everyone !

As you can see from the screenshots below, I'm having a problem with customizing the tooltip of Upkeep. I wanna change the original text into something else, however my text, which was supposed to be quite long was cut short, and I don't know what caused this. Does anyone know the reason to this and how to solve it ?

Thank you very much for helping me !

can't have commas is my guess.

I don't suppose your text contains more than 259 characters? 39 is also the maximum amount of new lines you can use before going out of screen size.

I'm not sure about any other limitations besides this, so far this is all I could think of.

(Color codes are also count inside the 259 char limit)

@Arhowk: nice spotting there ;D, I guess you are right.

prettttttttttttttttttty sure this is false.

on tooltips id get frustrated because they get cut out. i usually have roughly 100 characters but like... 10 seperate color codes.

(which makes it a bitch for set tooltips )

Actually, I just tested it with this:

|cff800040ABCDEFGHI1ABCDEFGHI2ABCDEFGHI3ABCDEFGHI4ABCDEFGHI5ABCDEFGHI6ABCDEFGHI7ABCDEFGHI8ABCDEFGHI9ABCDEFGHI0ABCDEFGHI1ABCDEFGHI2ABCDEFGHI3ABCDEFGHI4ABCDEFGHI5ABCDEFGHI6ABCDEFGHI7ABCDEFGHI8ABCDEFGHI9ABCDEFGHI0ABCDEFGHI1ABCDEFGHI2ABCDEFGHI3ABCDEFGHI4ABCDEFGHI5ABCDEFGHI6|r

(260 characters + 12 (minus 2 for the | characters of the color code) )

Which displays:

ABCDEFGHI1ABCDEFGHI2ABCDEFGHI3ABCDEFGHI4ABCDEFGHI5ABCDEFGHI6ABCDEFGHI7ABCDEFGHI8ABCDEFGHI9ABCDEFGHI0ABCDEFGHI1ABCDEFGHI2ABCDEFGHI3ABCDEFGHI4ABCDEFGHI5ABCDEFGHI6ABCDEFGHI7ABCDEFGHI8ABCDEFGHI9ABCDEFGHI0ABCDEFGHI1ABCDEFGHI2ABCDEFGHI3ABCDEFGHI4ABCDEFGHI

(249 characters) in purple instead of:

ABCDEFGHI1ABCDEFGHI2ABCDEFGHI3ABCDEFGHI4ABCDEFGHI5ABCDEFGHI6ABCDEFGHI7ABCDEFGHI8ABCDEFGHI9ABCDEFGHI0ABCDEFGHI1ABCDEFGHI2ABCDEFGHI3ABCDEFGHI4ABCDEFGHI5ABCDEFGHI6ABCDEFGHI7ABCDEFGHI8ABCDEFGHI9ABCDEFGHI0ABCDEFGHI1ABCDEFGHI2ABCDEFGHI3ABCDEFGHI4ABCDEFGHI5ABCDEFGHI

(259 characters). Without color codes this amount of characters does get displayed.


Test it out for yourself if you don't beleave me.

i usually have roughly 100 characters but like... 10 seperate color codes.

Which is 100 + 100 = 200 characters (10 chars for each color code)
Which means you'll have 59 chars left.

For the rest of the text, use the
0-50 Food: No upkeep
(etc) fields.

Also, warcraft doesn't like ",s" - it removes the rest of the string. Now it looks like it doesn't like ", s" either...

 

[Arhowk]

Oh. I misread you. i thought you said they were outside of the text size limit

long day...

I tried to remove all the commas and it worked, I guess that was the problem.

Thanks a lot for helping me guys ! I really appreciate all the advices !
