SecretApprentice Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 I asked this question before on the gamefront forums but nobody answered. On the very last level of this mod which involves the carbon chamber I try to save it and it gives me the error string dest buffer to small to hold string. I realize what caused the problem is a white dialogue caption that is common in SP levels. I assumed that it went over the limit for strings since I saw 65>64 64 being the limit of strings allowed in the .bsp. I have no clue how to fix it and I need someones help. If someone can get a hold of LDJ for me I hope he will maybe fix the error that stood since 2003.
Pande Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I'm not quite sure what you are talking about, but since you mentioned a .bsp you could try downloading XV32, a hex editor, and searching for what you want to change. You must edit it by replacing things with a space, not deleting. So, shave off a few letters off this string. Make a backup first incase you accidentally press delete, as there's now way to add in a null-space after. Otherwise, it's maybe in a .string file in strings/ That's even easier/safer.
SecretApprentice Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 I keep messing up... I try to overwrite the dialogue and it messes up the entire map. I never really use hex editor very much and I am not skilled with it. Maybe you can fix it for me then send it back to me p.m if your interested. I tried everything to fix this map and I have failed so I am preety much hopeless atm.
