export_units.txt character limit?

[SigniferOne]

Is there a limit to how many characters may exist in export_units.txt?

I have this weird problem where if I have X characters everything loads fine, but if I add just one more the game crashes.

Now the weird thing thing is that my descriptions aren't even that wordy, and quite a few units don't have them yet...

If there is I certainly dont know about it.

Can you conceive of a single possible reason why the game would crash after entering one more character? Agh....

Another limit reached? Any idea how many characters? I believe if you load it in MSWord, the character count is given on the bottom.

Notepad++ also has this function, it's called "nb char" and shows at the bottom of a document. For reference:

EB (1.0?): 956k

BC (1.0?): 618k

Third Age (1.1?): 360k

RTR (6.0?): 300k

DLV (6.1?): 278k

Vanilla M2: ~200k

* Version numbers are guesses, those are just a few mods I had lying around on my comp for code reference, so prob not the latest version on most

So I suppose if that one character puts you over, say, a million, it's possible though extremely unlikely. If it isn't a number of some significance either in terms of being rounded off or in programming, then it's unlikely(possibly the game can only convert files under X size to .strings.bin is the only thing I can think of). But I wouldn't know what would be causing it. EB's EDB is 3,322,382 characters, probably the biggest file you'd find, but remember in Rome they don't seem to have strings.bin files, well that or I just never ran the mod. BC's EDB is 819k chars which results in a 1,826 kb .strings.bin file, DLV's EDB is 973k chars. So the largest pre-strings file I've found on M2 in my mods is 973k chars.

It is almost certainly not reached, because like I said half my units don't even have descriptions yet, and those which are there are short and to the point. EB's were these long rambling descriptions, and they had it for each unit. So it's something wrong somewhere else. My harddrive is at various times failing, and adding broken fragments in middles of my files without my knowing it, so that errors are added and things stop working for no apparent reason, sigh...
