RED ALERT: Code Interpreter Bug Found
RED ALERT: Code Interpreter Bug Found
I know, I should be probably the ONLY one experimenting this behaviour, due to the arcane tasks I ask O.G.R.E. to perform for me, but try to follow me.
If You try to concatenate any $variables of type STRING (TEXT for the less techy), and the resulting word is LONGER than 50 chars, it ends broken at char 51 by a SPACE, then follows from char 52 with the remaining TEXT.
I wonder that the 50 char lenght is a limit set by the developer in charge of coding O.G.R.E., but it should have to be extended to the usual 255 chars, at least.
I need UNINTERRUPTED output, because I'm coding CODE and TAGS out of O.G.R.E. for PCGen 6.00.0, and I cannot manage random breaks at 50th char, cause PCgen doesn't support any breaks nested to TAGS: this simply breaks the PCgen code.
I'll explain my problem with an example:
I am randomly generating things out of O.G.R.E. tables, and I get sequences of TAGS, stored in TEXT $variables, used in PGgen to define objects class inclusions.
A Dragon, to be recognized as itself, has to be TYPE
ragon.Magic.Breath...
A Weapon, to be one of its kind, should be (i.e.) TYPE:Bludgeoning.OneHanded.Finessable.Steel.Magic...
A Tome (MY CASE) could be TYPE:Goods.Literature.Scholar.Advanced.ThePlanes.TransitivePlanes.EtherealPlane (far longer than 50 chars), and may contain a section ALSO about another topic, ending in addition of other TAGS like Expert.Arcana.Dragons.ChromaticDragons
The resulting tome HAS to declare ALL the Types it has relations to, then it becomes of TYPE:Goods.Literature.Scholar.Advanced.ThePlanes.TransitivePlanes.EtherealPlane.Expert.Arcana.Dragons.ChromaticDragons
All the differently coloured TAGS comes from a different part of my code, and I have no control over the lenght of the TEXT that will describe my object at the end of the processing.
I'm sure it will not exceed 255 chars, but for sure goes far over the 50th char BUILT IN limitation set by the developer of O.G.R.E. as a the maximum uninterruptable sequence of chars.
What I get currently is:
TYPE:Goods.Literature.Scholar.Advanced.ThePlanes.T ransitivePlanes.EtherealPlane.Expert.Arcana.Dragons.ChromaticDragons
where the BOLD part is an UNINTERRUPTED sequence of chars up to the 50th, then a SPACE, followed by the remaining part of the TEXT.
HOPE there will be a solution to this, since this was the last part of my project of coding a random Library Generator, by subject, cost and rarity, PRE-CODED (just a Copy-and-Paste-away) to be used by PCgen.
I let You see what you can get as a result... for my campaign has been a boost in RPG off-adventure.

EVERYTHING YOU SEE CAME OUT OF O.G.R.E.... only the post-formatting is hand made, but is matter of an easy Find-Replace procedure.
This is only a brief example of what you can get from it... I only need to fix this bug, that appeared only after I tried to concatenate more than 50 chars in a single string.
NOTE: If You can address me directly to the developer I can drive him to test it by itself, having him see the code of the generator, if necessary.
TY in advance
