(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I started to work on a GSC menu on BO2 and I keep running into the overflow error.
I remember this was a major problem on COD4 until Amanda released a fix.
She found a way to free up a large amount of strings. I'm wondering if this can be done on BO2.
Here is a link to Amanda's overflow error fix.

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah that doesn't sound right haha. Have you looked at other CoDs for that function?

I'm not sure that it's worth the time, in cod4 we had limit 1023 unique string, in BO2 we can have only 512 unique strings(pretty stupid yes?), I guess limit can be extended.

I thought it was 488? I know for sure that there are only 62 strings available. Anyway does that function have the limit in it?

Also G_LocalizedStringIndex throws overflow on this index, so I guess this is the game limit. Also I mean all strings(including precached)

There's a lot of useless messages (like completing a challenge) shown in the game. Each unique message takes up a string. Just wondering if these messages can be removed or simplified to free up more strings.

You can if you can find where they are being used.

Gotcha. Do you know where/how the strings are stored exactly? Or can you see that in the functions?

After more digging, I found, that we just used this function wrong, this will work for example(really strange implementation, also).
Also I don't like this solution, I'll try to find the way to extend strings limit.

    

Overflow()

{

	test = self createfontstring("default",1.5); 

	test setText("fuck it");

	display = self createfontstring("default",1.5); 

  	display setPoint("CENTER","CENTER",0,0);

  	for(i = 0;;i++)

    {

    	display setText("Overflow on " + i);

    	result = i%60;

    	if(result == 0)

    		test clearAllTextAfterHudElem();//prevent overflow

    	wait .1;

    }

}

I did that too but I had no luck with it. If you remove the clearAllblah part does it still work?
