Question about Kyra engine - Eye of the beholder

Post by theruler »

Hi team. We're on a task to give support of the italian fan made translation of the first EoB chapter.
We encountered a lot of trouble due to the default buffer of 7500 Bytes for inf files. English and German sentences have no problems, italians are truncated on screen instead, so we had to increase the value harcoded into the exe.
I browsed the code but I was not able to find any reference about it.
Before submit a "feature request" on sourceforge, I'd like to know if the reverse engineered kyra engine has such a limitation.

Cheers.

I think the maximum size is 15000. At least scene_eob.cpp line 127 would suggest that.

Thanks lordhoto, I'd never figured it out.
Do you know if the german translation is official?
If yes, are eng and ger the only languages EoB was released for?

The German version should be an official release. EoB was also released in Spanish and Japanese. I am not sure about other language releases.
