It would be great if this gets fixed. Othewise half of my script submissions in the future will have to exist as attached .txt files.

Perhaps this thread contains the answer? I know nothing about it but it popped up in google. http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1363102

As a workaround, it'd be more intersting that attached .j files could be shown as script tags (much like images get shown as thumbs and other files as urls)

It would also be nice if the forum were actually capable of displaying [ I ] [ B ] [ U ] etc (without the spaces). They get turned into lowercase letters: [i] [b] [u] I typed all of those as capitals. This can be very bad for scripts that happen to use I, B, or U for array indexes, it will cause compile errors when people copy the scripts into their maps.

You could just make multiple posts.

Also, I would love to fix the [i] bug, but it is caused by vBulletin's internal messes, I specify that bbcode inside vjass tags shouldn't be processed, but some esoteric part of vB applies 'fixes' to the tags completely ignoring that.

Splitting up the script into multiple posts because the code is 21k characters long is annoying. You should look at the link in my post, it seemed to contain the solution anyway.

I would really like the 20k limit to be fixed. I cannot even update my IDDS thread without deleting stuff and it going haywire.

I never said I was ignoring your link, I just don't have the vB license required to read the part in which they explain the code with the problem, so i guess I'll have to look for it myself.

Meh, I got time I guess I'll have to do it now...

It is an idea, but not one that solves this problem, so maybe later.


Wow, strip_empty_bbcode is crazy shiot...

Aw well, I tried, but it seems the stuff I changed did not fix it, so I 'll wait for Tim's vB license to allow me to read that thread...

I just got Tim's vB license, and saw the code/etc , you may paste freaking common.j without issues. I changed the limit to 2 million characters, though there may be a lower implicit limit than that. Since blizzard.j and common.j can be posted it should be large enough...

Yay, I just made a 55,000 character post.
