I can reproduce the truncated briefing without running SH3Gen. It must be in SH, SH3 Commander, or an error with my install of the software. I will do more testing and post again later.
Thanks again for your wonderful utility and for your interest in helping me.  |
I didn't have time to download and test anything during the last days ..
y'know Christmas time and all. I hope that your problem is not related to Sh3Gen, though I wouldn't discount it completely. At least Sh3Gen is altering those files, and distorted text should be theoretically possible. Though there have been no problems of this sort for almost a year, and the only one I know of was discovered by myself (i.e. text spanning more than 1 page and causing a permanent crash).
Thanks everyone for the kind words! There is something in the works by the way, and it's not just another version of Sh3Gen, but something completely new. Hopefully I will be able to ready to release it sometime next year.

SH3 does have a maximum display window. The limit is most noticable when reloading saved games while running SH3Cmdr and/or SH3Gen. Basically, when developed SH3 simply didn't expect the text to be as long as SH3Cmdr and SH3Gen makes it.
In SH3Cmdr I tried to alleviate the problem a bit (about a year ago now) by replacing all ---- text with --- and removing a lot of the punctuation (ie full stops and the like) from the monthly summary text to make the length less.
FWIW it's only visual and usually limited to when reloading saved games. The "extra text" as you've mentioned is always the save file name, which simply overtypes the existing text. IIRC, some other random characters are displayed as well.
