your dialog is to long.
you can use strcat.
heres the code for you:

pawn Code:

new string[952];
strcat(string, "[Server Commands]/credits,/help,/kill,/afk,/back,/me,/v,/givecash,/fix,/flip,/tts,/ttsstop,/skin,/report,/admin,/pm,/admins,/radio\n");
strcat(string, "[Server Commands]/addboject,/objectids,/boneids\n");
strcat(string, "[Admin Commands (1)]/s,/soff,/explode,/slap,/mute,/unmute\n");
strcat(string, "[Admin Commands (2)]/duty,/dutyoff,/fr(eeze),/unfr(eeze),/cc\n");
strcat(string, "[Admin Commands (3)]/rac,/recon\n");
strcat(string, "[Admin Commands (4)]/bring,/goto,/heal,/healall,/adminradio,/radiooff\n");
strcat(string, "[Admin Commands (5)]/gmx");
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, 44, DIALOG_STYLE_MSGBOX, "Help", string, "OK", "");

thnx, i forgot about the srtcat

[Babul]

no need to delete something. the compilers' parser cant handle too long lines. break them up by using a simple return, maybe with the escaping character \ to avoid the compiler thinking its a line end:

pawn Code:

ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, 44, DIALOG_STYLE_MSGBOX, "Help", "[Server Commands]/credits,/help,/kill,/afk,/back,/me,/v,/givecash,/fix,/flip,/tts,/ttsstop,/skin,/report,/admin,/pm,/admins,/radio\n\
[Server Commands]/addboject,/objectids,/boneids\n[Admin Commands (1)]/s,/soff,/explode,/slap,/mute,/unmute\n[Admin Commands (2)]/duty,/dutyoff,/fr(eeze),/unfr(eeze),/cc\n\
[Admin Commands (3)]/rac,/recon\n[Admin Commands (4)]/bring,/goto,/heal,/healall,/adminradio,/radiooff\n[Admin Commands (5)]/gmx", "OK", "");

i hope those 3 lines are short enough. if it still complains, add some \ in between yor lines, heres an extreme example:

pawn Code:

String="This\
is\
a\
long\
line,\
too.";

dont forget to add spaces, the string above is "Thisisalongline,too."

edit: some of my dialog strings are 4096 chars long, so no, the string lenght is not the reason

you can also use strcat. for me strcat is more easier. anyway nice babul

[Babul]

yes, strcat is better for formatting variables into one huge string, my example above depends on the fact that the /cmds is static.

[emokidx]

oh, ok, thanks everyone.

[Babul]

mhm, i have to admit that iam still re-format()ting long strings - it seems that i have to revise some of my code again.. well, learning never ends. ty for forcing me to freshen up my string routines:
my actual (often used)

pawn Code:

format(string,sizeof(string),"%s%s",string,stringADD);

is worse than

pawn Code:

strcat(string,stringADD);

? if i got a really long string[4096] for a dialog, i need the \ only for a \n or \r\n. it will take me a long time to get used to them using in the sourcecode directly. so basically, when compiling, the \
char is just cosmetic, if not used IN strings?

[AiRaLoKa]

LOL XD
this is so easy
i've tried to fix my dialog, but its too hard for a newbie like me

thanks anyway
