CLEO Help Long strings

[iVilux]

Trying to make longer strings to hold more text but it's so annoying, wasted an hour with no results. Alloc not working, can I get some help?

You're providing no numbers lol, for how much longer do you want to make it? etc etc

More than 16, obviously... Around a 100.

 

[Opcode.eXe]

0AC8: 0@ = allocate_memory_size 260
0AD3: 0@ = format "Stop being blind its bad for your eyes"
0AC9: free_allocated_memory 0@


Why is that not working?

Then memory allocation should work for you like a charm lol.. Like opcode wrote above

0@ works perfectly, but I use it for other functions. Neither 2@ nor 2@v work. 2@ crashes and 2@v only stores 16.

Now I see the problem might be with 0AD3/0AD4 not making long enough strings, anyone knows anything about it?

I guess you also need to allocate memory for strings inside function when you pass it

A long time ago I heard that 0@ stores memory differently or can store more, is this true? Or are they all the same?

They should be all same iirc, basically a variable is a certain amount of allocated memory, so there shouldn't be any limitation on how much big it might be (except for 32\64bit limits and limits of your RAM), so you can even store whole Trump's speech inside RAM and handle it however you want, it's just the way you use IDE i.e. Sanny Builder and his opcodes
There's also might be game limitation because cleo works with the game engine (and it's god damn old and buggy), but still, I don't think storing at least 100 chars string might be a problem
This worked good for me

alloc 2@ 256
format 2@ "one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen"
while true
wait 0
0AF8: samp add_message_to_chat "%s" 120007 2@
wait 1000
end

You should post an example of what doesn't work for you.
The limit for a string in the SB IDE is 255, meaning a string between quotation marks can't be longer than 255 symbols/chars.
0AD4 can only extract strings to @v vars, so that means you can only extract strings that are limited to 16 chars. There is an alternative written by legend2360 -> HERE, it's in russian(google translate it) or maybe @supahdupahnubah can do a proper translation.

I can even make a post about this, but is it useful? People actually do sscan for 16+ char strings?

 

[springfield]

Should be useful, i guess scanning for a nickname(and those can be a max. of 24)

There are even more uses for it.
