My bug: http://eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=21275

Is there a max recommended text length for the quest::*("text"); lines? 255? 128? When Notepad wraps it around, I knew it was going to be too long.

Any advice would be appreciated.

John,

What are you compiling with?

In another post, Vales quoted that when compiling with VS Pro. you will crash when hailing an NPC. I compile with VS Pro, so maybe this is the problem. If you use VS Pro as well, then I think the 2 are related.

This Thread is of interest as well concerning the Hailing problem...

Aramid, I compile using VS 2005, and where I am getting the crash is not on a self-compiled system anyway. And, my problem isn't exactly "Hail" or aggro. Mid-quest, one of the quest::say() strings is extremely long (wraps even in notepad), and until I broke that up, I would crash encountering it's if($text) condition.

I'll mess around with the hail link you sent, that does sound interesting and makes sense. Thanks!
