You will also see that this is because the re-saved .clg does already contain the truncated entries (the glitch is in the writing, not the reading part).

If not, and you can confirm this with entries of 300, 400, 600 characters, please post here and contact me because this would definitely prove me wrong, and mean I screw up something.

This is exactly what I did as a test before I posted the above - sorry if I wasn't clear on that. Outside the game, I made my long entries in save-game "Patrol22e" log file, then switched to SH3 and loaded up save-game "Patrol22e" - the long entries displayed just fine. I then saved the game and exited, saving it as "Patrol22f". I then re-entered the game, and loaded up save-game "Patrol22f" - the long entries displayed just fine and were not truncated. I then saved the game and exited (saving it as "Patrol22f" again), switched over and ran SH3Gen on "Patrol22f". When I switched back to the game and loaded up save-game "Patrol22f", the log entries were truncated. I had played and saved several times over the last few nights (before finding out about SH3Gen) and never had any problems with SH3 itself truncating the entries (only had the problem outlined above about choking if a single entry spanned more than one page). Sounds to me like the truncation problem has to be in or connected with SH3Gen somehow.

Here's a couple of screenshots of my log in-game (pages 1 and 2), in "Patrol22f" (after originally having been made in "Patrol22e" saved game):





I hope you can figure out why this is happening and fix it, cause SH3Gen does look like a very cool piece of work.
