128 characters limit on tags

Confirmed.

This is indeed a problem for the things you named, and one thing you forgot to mention: Owners.

I don't even think this will need any further discussion, this will be worked on.

I noticed this issue hasn't been touched in a while, and I ran into this problem earlier today with the Owner tag. Any update on its progress?

It is fairly simple to do, so I can implement it quickly someday.

Expanded to 2048 chars for:

Landing in SVN tonight, not tested yet. Let me know if I missed any flags.

Note that this list doesn't include changed/added flags such as [GenericPrerequisites] which are now set to 2048 as well. One glaring omission is PrerequisiteOverride, which I will do tomorrow, and map actions/events which I'll do this week as well.

Code related to this issue has just been checked in; DCoder wrote in revision 233:
Lots of changes. Wheeee. Refactored all applicable things to use the new INI parsers. Etc.

#633 - Changed to use HouseClass indices, refactored some code into template. (Will post the missing sections for transcription tomorrow.)
#662 - Improvements in lag handling, but still unusable.
#423 - Significant progress towards saving/loading right.
#462 - Should fix the parasite slots.

Resolved issue #628 - crash on exit.
Resolved issue #658 - Cancel buildable Conyard IE.
Resolved issue #653 - PowerToggle IE on empty ground.
Resolved issue #472 - WarpAway deglobalized again.
Resolved issue #189 - Customizing Electro death animation.
Resolved issue #367 - Mind control parasites should now be moving in sync with the host, so the link will not draw back to the original capture point.
Resolved issue #193 - 128 characters limit on tags - added map action/event/trigger support.

Setting to resolved as per rev. 233 commit message, mirrored above.

Closing these issues - implemented a fair while ago, tested during implementation. If any bugs do crop up, be sure to thank the lazy testers for doing their job so well.

Dock= seems to have the 128 character limit still

using this list here:
Dock=GAAIRC,AMRADR,GDIRADAR,GDIRADARCLONE,YURIHELIPAD,YURIHELIPADCLONE,NODRADAR,NODRADARCLONE,ALLIEDAIRSTRIPCLONE,GDIAIRSTRIPCLONE,NODAIRSTRIPCLONE,YURIAIRSTRIPCLONE
It gets cut off at
Dock=GAAIRC,AMRADR,GDIRADAR,GDIRADARCLONE,YURIHELIPAD,YURIHELIPADCLONE,NODRADAR,NODRADARCLONE,ALLIEDAIRSTRIPCLONE,GDIAIRSTRIPCLONE,N

resulting in a [BuildingType] **=N after performing a Data Dump

Attached a debug .log to show results

[Edit] I checked all other tags I thought would have an issue with this. They all checked out O.K. So from my knowledge its only Dock= that has the limitation.

Revision comment:
Related to issue #193 - added Dock parsing, rewrote all existing parsers to not use junk macros, removed said junk macros.

Your turn, testers.

Do every single tag need retesting or will it be enough by testing a few(like 5-10)?

Dock= limit of 128 has been resolved. Thanks:)

Copy and pasted cranium's dock list (sorry...) onto the harrier.

Obviously, it gave dev errors stating that the game failed to parse the new entries.
However, there were no cut-off entries in sight.

This issue is now fixed.

Tested:
Owner=
RequiredHouses=
BuildNavalYard
SovietBaseDefenses
They worked.

Nobody has reported any more problems with this for ages - closing fixed.
