Humpf, no more space on the item description..

[The_wand_mirror]

Bah i try to get a full description of what my items actually does and it suddenly cuts of the last few words.. I saw a game where the item descriptions where very long and i wondered how he did that to get that much text on them?

(See attached Image) Any Me- and then it cuts of the words, it should be 'Any Melee Class' but i can't get it on

I also thought about just crowding the whole description and not using the space-bar so much. could i just use the |N|N thingy?

(I assumed double posting is allowed with one day of time in it?)

Please help this is rly frustrating because i saw a map rly had loads of text into there! is there any trick?!?!?

Well I have been told that, with integers, you can hold shift and then click and it will let you put in whatever you want, such as negative numbers. Maybe this trick will allow you to put in more letter characters than normal too?

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

If you hold shift and type, it will make the letters capital.... LIKE THIS...

Jass newgen has disable limits option but I dont know if it disables it too :/

Can you please search it for me or direct me to it?

what a comment XD
when you hold shift and CLIC (not type) on a field, it allows forbidden values
i dunno if it allow to use longer string

I dont see how Shift and click can help me, it only selects some text.. Cant someone give me a JASS terrain hack like HappyTaurens code?? could be very usefull =D

 

[YoshiRyu]

in the WE, you shift+clic when oppening the field (not in the pop-up box, in the line in the list)

Here :
(as you can see i've been able to set the building time to a negative value using the shift edit)

EDIT : that won't work, because rereading your first post, i see you're able to put the whole text in the field, that's only in game that the text is cut :/
that's probably a volontary limitation, but it looks very short :s

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I tried 'compressing' the text in WE and it works, but still i want some ensurance this problem won't occur again =/

An axe with the head made of rough iron material and the grabbing part made of wood. There's still a little blood on the tip though. |n|cffFFFF00Grants:|r|n+1 Strength|n+3 Attack Damage|n|cffFF0000Requirements:|r|n-Level 1|n-Any Melee Class

As you can see i just removed the space i used because it formerly looked

An axe with the head made of rough iron material and the grabbing part made of wood. There's still a little blood on the tip though. |n|cffFFFF00Grants:|r
|n+1 Strength
|n+3 Attack Damage
|n|cffFF0000Requirements:|r
|n-Level 1
|n-Any Melee Class

In the first i use all the text in one block but still use |n and in the second i make space (In WE) also with |n but it apparently seems they both work out the same way only the second option 'takes more space'

Anyways, can someone redirect me to the JASS code thingy or not?

 

[YoshiRyu]

looks like you can't use more than 255 characters
description string in game are probably allocated 256 bytes (one is use as string's end)
the WE is just badly made in this point, string's fields shouldn't allow the user to overpass this limit (to make him know where is the limit)

Jass newgen just force the shift-edit at each edit, it doesn't change anything
As you see, that's not the WE which forbid you to write more, that's WC3 which cut the string
You're in front of an "in game" limitation, there is probably no way to go through except recoding the game

You could change the description in "Level 1 Melee"...

I love your posts. Always make me laugh!

I think Ive a link in my signature -.-

You could always be less descriptive about the axe.

'An axe with an iron head, smeared with blood'

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

I found this samewere in the hive forums, it disebles same limits. Not sure if it disables the charecter limit. I attached the file. Import it and try.

Ye i could do that but thats the problem, i would probably make some uber-items you will be able to obtain later in my map but the description won't fit. Because i want to describe all bonuses under the 'grants;' thingy. I saw a map which actually did all this and i wanted to do it like that to. But if it won't let me i don't have any clue how to continue making the map..

It seems i already have it..

Hmm, go to Scenario=>Map Description, and at the coner, see this:

[YoshiRyu]

a question, if you save your map, you close WE, and you re-open the map with WE
is the description cut?

(if no, as i guess, it as nothing to do with WE, that's a WC3's limitation)

 

[The_wand_mirror]

it just cuts off ingame and nothing else..

 

[YoshiRyu]

I think there is no way
256 bytes are allocated by the game for item's extended tooltips, that's all

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

I woud agree whit YoshiRyu.... But if you are right about this, that you have seen on other maps, bigger description, then i dunno :/

 

[YoshiRyu]

i've see bigger description, but only in unit's description, i'm surprised that's all descriptions aren't formated the same, but that's possible
if blizzard's item doesn't require more than 256 charaters for the tooltips, there was no reason to use more memory

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

I made a new map whit world editor, i did't import anythink, no triggers, jass, just typed the descrition, and i recreated yout item. And it worked!
Description:

An axe whit the head made of rought iron material and the grabbing part made of wood. There's still a little blood on the tip though. |n|cffFFFF00Grants:|r |n+1 Strenght |n+3 Attack Damage |n|cffFF0000Requirements:|r |n-Level 1 |n-Any Melee Class

 

[The_wand_mirror]

If War3 only supports 256 chars in it i have a little problem here.. because that description is 209 chars. so wtf do i do when i run out of description?

 

[YoshiRyu]

you've got to count the "code" characters too
"|n" -> 2 chars
"|cff######" -> 10 chars
real endline probably also count (and that's why removing em make you gain bytes)
these informations are used by the game, so the game need to store them in the string too.
