I'm noticing that anything longer than 64 characters in the xStringBuild format string gets truncated, for example:

setx string to xStringBuild "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"

gets truncated to string value of "abcd...ABCD...abcd...ijkl" that's exactly 64 characters.

I'm guessing it's the same limitation as for xMessageFix that has been reported previously. It's not a big deal to work around by concatenating multiple xstringbuilds together, but it would be nice to update the morrowind modding wiki entry for future reference, if indeed it is a consistent issue. Has anyone else run into this limitation?

It shouldn't be a problem if you're combining multiple strings, so long as each individual one is less than 64 characters.

e.g.

begin mwse_Test

long len
long str

setx str to xStringBuild "1234567890"; 10 chars
setx str to xStringBuild "%s%s" str str; 20 chars
setx str to xStringBuild "%s%s" str str; 40 chars
setx str to xStringBuild "%s%s" str str; 80 chars
setx len to xStringLength str

xLogMessage "len: %d" len
xLogMessage "str: %s" str

StopScript mwse_Test

end
