Putting unlimited characters in the database's input fields?

Baibu · 2018-07-24T10:57:24+0900

Is there a way to do away with the harsh character limit imposed on many of the editor's text fields? i.e. the 'Basic Status' and 'Commands' fields under the 'Terms' tab only allow for a maximum of 13 characters each, which is not enough for me. I understand that this is to ensure that the text can be properly displayed within bounds in game, but I'd like to input much longer strings and to experiment with auto-formatting them before they are drawn.

Not in the editor.
You can have scripts to redirect the data source and then use longer texts that way, for example
SES external text

Well, I had hoped for some quick and easy hack, but I guess a clean solution is better in the long run.
This is what you were talking about, I presume:

Thanks for the hint!
