Unable To Edit Comments/Display Text Message
Hello, I'm unable to edit the comments or display text messages in the trigger section of SCMD. If I attempt to edit, the editor doesn't save the map, and then it crashes.
I'm also 100+ hours into this map creation.

100h+ sound like a lot of work. Are you sure you are still in maplimits? (FAQ - MAP LIMITS)
Maximum Number of Units on a Map: 1700
I'm at 562.
Maximum Number of Sprites on a Map: 500
I'm at 0.
Maximum Number of Locations: 255
I'm at 150.
Max Amount of Triggers: 90-120k
There is no indicator, but I have a lot.
Maximum Number of Strings in a map: 65535 bytes
I believe this is the issue. I have a lot of text/comments in the trigger section to organize my work.
Thanks for the response, Mimose. I have bookmarked that page as it's highly resourcesful. I'm pretty sure it is the Strings. I'll report back.
None.
It's the strings. I'm glad it was a simple fix. Though I'm annoyed that it is a problem, because I like to organize my work.
None.

If you primarily use text triggers, you can save comment strings by saving all of the triggers in a separate txt file and using // comments

I see you !
String text limit shouldn't come into play until saving the map though, while editing you can go over the limits.
What version are you using?

Now I have an issue with this updated editor displaying the incorrect text in game:

Now it's been renaming some of my trigger comments "CONDITION:"

And that is because I am over 100% String capacity. I'm abbreviating everything now.
None.
Just gotta hope blizz raises the string limit in future patches I guess. That and the unit and sprite limits.

Just some FYI, non trigger based comments can be put into the text triggers (use // to escape the line). Do all your work in text triggers and notepad++ then compile the triggers. You lose the triggers when compiled, but your comments will stick out much better in a text editor, and you can view things easier as well as hide triggers.
I personally don't like comments as they make it harder to view triggers in classic map triggers.

Recycle your comments by using strings from the game itself. That's what I do.
So like all my health potion triggers I label the comments <06>Health Potion, etc.
You can also recycle sound files, locations and switches using this same technique.
