Is it possible to have larger item descriptions?

[Aeroblyctos]

Hey.

Is it possible to have larger item descriptions?

For example, this description is too long and won't fit:

Item Description

|c00FEBA0E+200 |cff00FF00Damage
|c00FEBA0E+30 |cffFF0000Strength
|c00FEBA0E+30 |cff00FF00Agility
|c00FEBA0E+30 |cff3C3CFFIntellect
|c00FEBA0E+30% |cff00FF00Critical Damage
|c00FEBA0E+30 |cffFF0000Health Regen
|c00FEBA0E+10 |cff3C3CFFMana Regen
|cff6495ed10% chance when attacks to reduce opponent's attack damage by 20% for 2 seconds. Each kill increase skull's charge. When used, damages(chargex(lvlx5)) and reduces armor(chargex0,5) of enemies around for 10 seconds.
|c00FEBA0EQuality: |c007EBFF1Rare
|c00FEBA0EClassification: |c0020C000Weapon
|c00FEBA0EStory: |c0020C000-|c00FEBA0E.|r

Abilities have nearly unlimited description size, why items doesn't have?

Rep & credits if someone is able to help me with the case.

Here, just press Shift + Enter to make it longer.
EDIT: i think it only works at Text - Tooltip - Extended

 

[Aeroblyctos]

It doesn't show all:

"|c00FEBA0EQuality: |c007EBFF1Rare
|c00FEBA0EClassification: |c0020C000Weapon
|c00FEBA0EStory: |c0020C000-|c00FEBA0E.|r"

This is still missing.

Lol, i think there is no way to make it longer. the only way is (dont use custom colors)
EDIT: how about make them shorter, Health Regen = Hp Regen Mana Regen = Mp Regen Strength = Str Agility = Agi Intellect = Int

 

[Aeroblyctos]

That's one option. But before I start to do anything I'll wait if someone else knows an answer to this. I'm pretty sure that here is a way to do this, because the abilities descriptions are nearly unlimited.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Bump.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Is it possible to make the inventory descriptions bigger?

If there's no way I have to make item descriptions as game message. When player writes X a specific item description is given. I really don't want that...

Sadly, there is a cutoff with item descriptions that limits it. No way to go around it. :\ I even once tried editing the wts file to extend it, but the game cuts off item descriptions at a certain point regardless. (not by lines, but by characters) There was a method that almost worked, by editing the "name" to fit the stats portion. It showed up when hovering over the item on the ground (and it was actually pretty cool) but it bugged out when showing on the actual item itself, as it only showed a broken first portion of it.

You can remove it's sell-ability (just uncheck "can be sold to merchants") and it will allow for a bit more space. (because it will add that "Drop item on shop to sell") However, doing that will only get you to display up to "Quality: Rare". Thus, you may need to remove some color codes to get it to all fit.

Sadly, I believe that is the only way. I looked for quite a while, but I couldn't find anything else.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

What a shame. But why does abilities then have such a large descriptions? Is it somehow possible to "transfer" the limit from them to the item descriptions?

 

[Marc Mamales]

lol make them shorter, Health Regen = Hp Regen Mana Regen = Mp Regen Strength = Str Agility = Agi Intellect = Int

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Even if I would somehow able to shorten this description, there are more descriptions EVEN BIGGER than this descriptions. So I would have the same problem still.

Is anyone experienced enough to somehow able to edit the Warcraft III files to make item descriptions longer? I would be forever grateful and will give you credits with big letters.

 

[Adiktuz]

PurgeandFire111 already said that he tried editing it, but the game still limits it...

maybe you could ask blizzard to update that in a patch coz right now, you really can't do anything about it...

have you tried removing the color codes that are same?
ex:
|c00FEBA0E+200 |cff00FF00Damage
|c00FEBA0E+30 |cffFF0000Strength

into this

|c00FEBA0E+200 |cff00FF00Damage|r
+30 |cffFF0000Strength|r|r

lol, that is impossible.

There is actually a very good solution to this, use a custom inventory system which shows the item description in a multiboard

 

[Raven0]

On this particular item you could just say +30 stats instead of +30 str, +30 int, +30 agil.
_______________________

One trick I sometimes use is that if you copy the field value (not the text) and then paste it somewhere else (like on another item) and then paste it BACK on the item you want, it'll glitch up and give you something like 30 extra characters.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

It could work, but like I said there are longer descriptions than this so eventually the same problem will occur. Also I just remade 100 descriptions to this "format" so it would be stupid to change the "format" now...

Maybe then the game message is the only way. Hopefully there won't be many long descriptions that does need this.
