ASSS Questions - Maximum chat length

What is the maximum number of characters you can send in one public message? I'm currently working on something that uses very long objset messages, and I was wondering when I need to split it up.

On a completely unrelated note, I found a fun way to crash a server

Last I checked, the limit was 240 chars or so.

As a server admin or from the client side? Do tell. If it's a potential hack, please tell me privately.

it's probably ASSS... not subgame.

doesn't objset have a limit of like 20 or so ???

and if you're using ASSS you the interface objects defined in objects.c

you can use toggleset and let it worry about objects... it even sends them to people entering the arena for you.

If you want to try this out, try using the 00 08/00 09 chunk packet to make the text as big as you'd like. ASSS should handle it fine, but I doubt Subgame will.

That doesn't work with chatnet bots, of course.

In interface "objects":

void (*ToggleSet)(const Target *t, short *id, char *ons, int size);

*t is a ptr to the target
*it is an array of shorts of the image id's
*ons is wheter to turn it on or off (0 for off, nonzero for on),
and size is the length of the id and ons arrays.
