::::::::::[[User:ShadowDancer|ShadowDancer]] 19:48, 11 July 2006 (EDT): Do you still have the script that is at the limit? If so, send me a copy, and the additional that you want to add and I will see if I can load it up and make Oblivion run without crashing. Its just opening the .esp file in MS Word, click OK when it asks about the file, finding the script, and then doing a copy and paste of the additional script into the script in the .esp file. In MS Word most of the script is in plain text. | ::::::::::[[User:ShadowDancer|ShadowDancer]] 19:48, 11 July 2006 (EDT): Do you still have the script that is at the limit?

Word's awful for coding, with margins and hidden characters and the like. A good plaintext editor would be better, I just used Word for the wordcount. | |||
At the moment, the script is actually in MS Excel (you would not believe how much tedious typing this program can save a scripter), so I'll have to convert it to plaintext (copy and paste into Notepad, Replace tabs with spaces), but I'm actually pretty busy at the moment. I'll send it to you when I get a chance. Thanks for your help. | |||

::::[[User:Scruggs|Scruggs]] 19:30, 10 July 2006 (EDT) I would think it would be a limit of the ''compiled'' script, not the actual text, but i can't say that for sure. If you want to reduce the size of a script, though, you can transfer some of your if blocks into quest stages or dialog topics, setting up the conditions to do the work for you. Then just call [[setStage]] or [[Say]] to run the conditions. [[Say]] is useful when you need the results to run on the calling actor, which setStage won't allow. | ::::[[User:Scruggs|Scruggs]] 19:30, 10 July 2006 (EDT) I would think it would be a limit of the ''compiled'' script, not the actual text, but i can't say that for sure.
