MSR *WILL* be finished, come hell or high water... hell more likely.

Dodged a bullet there.

Nailed it... found the exact line causing problems, and it was indeed a strcpy() function call... so yeah, it was library code, and out of my control. I have to rewrite this portion of the subprogram to eliminate the strcpy() calls. It may introduce a tiny amount of palette snow but at this point, I really don't give a snot if there's just a touch of it.

 So it was strcpy()? Did you figured out what specifically is causing it to crash inside the lib code?

[grahf]

Just put my order in, finally. 
Take your time on those bugs, we can wait.

It looks like it wasn't respecting the end-of-string marker and just kept on going, creating an infinite loop. It looks like it's not working anyway, so I'm going to cut out all strcpy() function calls and do a revised version of the code that was there previously.

Thanks for your support, grahf! And everyone else too!

[Arkhan]

I thought I already told you strcpy is f*cked up, lol.

Glad you figured it out, but yeah, shits be busted.  Welcome to HuC.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Welcome to HuC.

.....For now.

I have the same problem with strcpy() ..
It seems don't care about EOF .

I have wrote my own, with special EOF/EOL caracter in my txt file.

Cool, good that you made as workaround for it. Meh... broken stuff sucks.

By the way... anyone who's wondering how much work goes into something like this...

The main sourcecode for Toren is 2490 lines of C code. That doesn't include the library header and all of the generic extra inclusions:

sampleheader.h: 2 lines (offset data for the ADPCM sample bank)
campspells.c: 183 lines (selection and display of out-of-battle magics)
common.c: 1429 lines (game engine library code... areas cannot exist without this module)
commontown.c: 239 lines (code only used for towns; primarily shop-related)
bonusfeatures.c: 87 lines (code to handle the system data for unlocking bonus features)

Comes out to about 4430 lines of C. Might be able to cut that down by about 50 for linebreaks between functions and each source's topline comment. This is just one source though... every source is different, as each area has its own unique functions and requirements.

Hi Rover, just to tell you that the remaining strings you had sent have been translated. You can check your PMs.

[nodtveidt]

Excellent, thanks Arm... I'll get this inserted right away.

[Senshi]

Excellent, thanks Arm... I'll get this inserted right away.

That's what she said 

[Arkhan]

all this strcpy madness wouldn't have happened if you made a real game, like Insanity!

SCREW TEXT.  JUST LAZERS.

Elsie already convinced me to make a Pak-Rat game.

lol. I want to remake global thermonuclear war.

Need to make a speech module version!

You can modify original function to correct it ..
I think when you are using strcpy(), it remove \0 at the end of copied string.
