Messagebox text limits


Recommended Posts

The GECK Wiki says the box's are limited to 1023 characters and spaces or it will crash the game. the messages already in the game (ie the VATS message) go beyond to around 1600 characters. Is this a limit from Fallout 3 or does it only apply to mods?

Are you trying to figure out if a too long message will crash something you are working on? If so, then I think that, yes, it will. I don't know how long it has to be though. I had it happen to me with my mod, but I didn't know about that info being in the wiki. I just figured out that was the problem and got rid of the ultra long message. I have no idea how many characters + spaces long it was.

It may be that the limit doesn't apply to the help system.

I've crashed by going over the 1023 limit - actually with less - according to what Notepad++ tells me the count is.
