Long messages [128 char +] - ic3cr3am - 29.09.2013

well messages get cut because they to long, but they to long, because i add color ({00FF00}) to the message.

i would like to know how to increase this number or limit.

Help = rep+

The max lenght of client messages is 128. The only thing I can think of is splitting the message.

Re: Long messages [128 char +] - EiresJason - 29.09.2013

The only way I can see of getting around this is by splitting the message too.

What I do on my server is when someone's message is about 100characters long, i split it and store it in another string. Then I send out the first message and then the second message.

>Though if the message is less than 100characters long; I don't split the message.

use strcat

I think your question has been answered now. There is no way around it unfortunately; either make your message shorter then the client text limit or split it up.

How strcat would be useful in his case?

It does the opposite of what he actually wants to do.

Your way, a message 101 characters gets split up despite being able to fit on one line, and only 1 character goes on the new line. Splitting up over 144 has the same problem with messages 145 characters long. However, if you split at 100 when the message is over 144, then for 101 and 144 you just use one line, but for 145 you use two lines, with the first line being 100 characters and the second being 45 - a much more even split to look much less silly IMHO. Or look for the first space after character 100 to split at.

In fact, now that I've thought of this, I want to implement it myself!

Hehe

The way my system works right now is that I split the message at 100 because I want to send the message to everyone with the players name and an appropriate chat tag.
So:

pawn Код:

STRING[128] is combined of roughly MESSAGE[100]+MAX_PLAYER_NAME+CHATTA[ASIZEHERE] (EG: [OOC]).

I would like to know though; how is the max client message 144? I've always thought it to be 128 and I think most others do too

It would be awesome if you could inform me

Re: Long messages [128 char +] - Konstantinos - 29.09.2013

Because almost everyone (ignore those with 256) uses a lenght of 128 in messages and this is what SA-MP Wiki also says: https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/Limits

Note the 'text I/O' value - that is for the text that is sent to the client, and that is used on OnPlayerCommandText.

Text I/O 128 cells (512 bytes)

I used another resolution and I could see 143 characters!
