Help buffer max string length on advanced valut by Destro

@LeX · **Author**

Hi, i recently started working with advanced vault system made by Destro and version 1.5

the plugin i want to make is ranktop, something like that.
i will try to explain, i have the following function:

PHP Code:


			
public ShowTop(id, Num)

{

    new g_sort = adv_vault_sort_create(g_vault, ORDER_DESC, 60, 2000, CS_Stats[STATS_KILLS])



    new mvp, keyindex, Player[32]

    

    new toploop = min(adv_vault_sort_numresult(g_vault, g_sort), Num)



    console_print(id,"")

    console_print(id,"================ Top MVP ================")

    for(new position=Num-15 ; position <= toploop; position++)

    {



        if(position >= Num+1)

            break



        keyindex = adv_vault_sort_position(g_vault, g_sort, position)

        

        if(!adv_vault_get_prepare(g_vault, keyindex)) continue

        

        mvp = adv_vault_get_field(g_vault, CS_Stats[STATS_MvP])

        

        adv_vault_get_keyname(g_vault, keyindex, Player, 31)



        console_print(id, "#%d Player: %s - Total Kills: %d", position, Player, mvp)

    }

    console_print(id,"===========================================")

    console_print(id,"")

    adv_vault_sort_destroy(g_vault, g_sort)

}

this is just an example
i want these values to be displayed in motd
just that... if i want that when... let's say a player write "/topmvp 300" in chat
to display the entire top from 1 to 300 in motd format

you already know what the problem would be, the maximum size of the buffer
i can't display elements in motd larger than... i don't know exactly... 3072?
sorry, i don't know exactly anymore

both the html code and the values from the advanced vault are stored in that buffer
and... you will realize that it will exceed the maximum size very quickly

my question is, is there any possibility to display exorbitantly large elements in that motd ?

and i mean by "exorbitant" in the pure sense.
when i specified a top from 1 to 300 it was an example
the initial value can easily exceed 2000 positions

this method will not only help me with this "ranktop" but it will also help me with other projects that i haven't finished yet and have the same problem with max buffer size.

if i'm not mistaken, someone else wanted something similar here, but the answers didn't give me a conclusive solution

Simple set a task to show top10 results every interval length of time

i don't think you understood me.
let me give another example
for this function:

PHP Code:


			
public test_top_basic(id, Num)
{
    new Buffer[2368], Name[MAX_NAME_LENGTH*4], Len, keyindex, kills, hs, deaths
    new Float:clc
    
    formatex(Buffer, charsmax(Buffer), "<html><head><meta http-equiv=^"Content-Type^" content=^"text/html; charset=UTF-8^"><style>body{background:#4a4e4d;font-family:Arial}th{background:#6a8ec8;padding:10px 5px;text-align:left;font-size:18px;font-weight:600;color:#fff}td{padding:10px 5px}table{width:100%;font-size:16px;color:#000;padding:2px}#nr{width:50px}#s{background:#3D9970;padding:4px;color:#fff;border-radius:1px}#c{background:#e9e9e9}#cc{background:#ddd}#f{text-align:center}</style></head><body><table align=^"center^" cellspacing=^"0^"><tbody>");
    Len = add(Buffer, charsmax(Buffer), "<tr><th id=^"nr^">#</th><th>Name</th><th>Kills</th><th>Deaths</th><th>HS %</th><th>Skill %</th></tr>");

    new g_sort = adv_vault_sort_create(g_vault, ORDER_DESC, 60, 2000, CS_Stats[STATS_KILLS],  CS_Stats[STATS_HEADSHOTS],  CS_Stats[STATS_DEATHS])

    new toploop = min(adv_vault_sort_numresult(g_vault, g_sort), Num)
    for(new position=1; position <= toploop; position++)
    {
        keyindex = adv_vault_sort_position(g_vault, g_sort, position)

        if(!adv_vault_get_prepare(g_vault, keyindex)) continue

        kills        = adv_vault_get_field(g_vault, CS_Stats[STATS_KILLS])
        hs            = adv_vault_get_field(g_vault, CS_Stats[STATS_HEADSHOTS])
        deaths        = adv_vault_get_field(g_vault, CS_Stats[STATS_DEATHS])

        clc = (float(hs)*100/float(deaths))

        adv_vault_get_keyname(g_vault, keyindex, Name, charsmax(Name))

        Len += formatex(Buffer[Len], charsmax(Buffer), "<tr id=^"%s^"><td>%d</td><td>%s</td><td>%d</td><td>%d</td><td>%.02f%</td><td><span id=^"s^">%.02f%</span></td></tr>",((position%2)==0) ? "c" : "cc", position+1, Name, kills, deaths, clc, elo_raiting(kills, deaths, games, round, wins));
    }
    add(Buffer, charsmax(Buffer), "</tbody></table></body></html>");
    show_motd(id, Buffer, "Top Rank");
}

the maximum length of the buffer is 2368
how could i make this buffer have a length greater than 3072 or the maximum length it supports.

as i said above, i want the buffer to print at least from 1 to 300 a top in MOTD
as i said above, this is just an example, the real top exceeds 2000 positions

theoretically i want to print absolutely everything that exists in the top from 1 to the maximum value of the positions, it can be 100000+
but to display in motd

Edit:
e.g:
for test_top_basic(id, 3000)
will it still show me the mod ?
and if not, how could i make to display the motd ?

mate the motd is hard coded to 1536 chars so the solution is to show less or equal to 1536 chars per page.
