Quick question about OBSE strings

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 2:37 pm

What's the maximum size of a string_var? That is, how many characters/bytes can it hold? 16k? 64k? unlimited? I looked through the OBSE docs but couldn't find the answer...

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it's unlimited. String_Vars are basically specialised arrays.

Thanks Scruggs. Now, to pester Kyoma to increase the size limit per volume in his journal mod. :poke:

But kMaxMessageLength is still only 0x4000 and the (journal related) functions all still use that as a cap. :(
