As the above error message and the title states, I used too many parameters in a translation string. My problem is I cannot find the maximum number I can have. I have a lot of parameters I'd like to display, but if it is simply not possible, then I'll have to try something else.

So, Who knows what the maximum number of parameters i can have in a translation string, or just a string?

I'm trying to use this code(obviously it doesn't work, it causes repeated server crashes)

if (action == MenuAction_Select)
    {
        if(param2 == 0)
        {
            new team = GetClientTeam(param1);
            if(team == TEAM_CT)
                PrintHintText(param1, "%T", "Q1Dc", QuestObjective[param1][0]);
            else
                PrintHintText(param1, "%T", "Q1Dt", QuestObjective[param1][0]);
        }
        else if(param2 == 1)
        {
            new team = GetClientTeam(param1);
            if(team == TEAM_CT)
                PrintHintText(param1, "%T", "Q2Dc", QuestObjective[param1][1]);
            else
                PrintHintText(param1, "%T", "Q2Dt", QuestObjective[param1][1]);
        }
        else if(param2 == 2)
            PrintHintText(param1, "%T", "Q3D", QuestObjective[param1][2]);

Are you sure you have the right number of parameters in Q10D in the code? I counted 45, quickly. Which even if I am mistaken, I don't think I would be off by 5. Maybe double check that.

[Fyren]

I don't think you can pass more than 32 parameters to a function.

If thats true, then I'll have to "paginate" my PrintHintText.

[Sammy-ROCK!]

Or you can format a string?

[InstantDeath]

I tried that. for some reason it keeps telling me the same error...

[Greyscale]

     7      WeaponKills[param1][1],     WeaponHeadshots[param1][1], WeaponKills[param1][2], WeaponHeadshots[param1][2], WeaponKills[param1][3], WeaponHeadshots[param1][3], WeaponKills[param1][4],
     10     WeaponHeadshots[param1][4], WeaponKills[param1][5], WeaponHeadshots[param1][5], WeaponKills[param1][6], WeaponHeadshots[param1][6], WeaponKills[param1][8], WeaponHeadshots[param1][8], WeaponKills[param1][9], WeaponHeadshots[param1][9], WeaponKills[param1][10],

     1      WeaponKills[param1][25]);

41. You can't pass 41 parameters to a phrase requiring 50.

32 might be the limit but all you gotta do is break the phrase into 2 chunks.

[BAILOPAN]

I think there is something wrong if you're pushing 50 parameters through a translation string. But yes, we have a 32 limit. You will want to break it up into a smaller workload. Most of the gunk in those strings is not language-dependent.

[Kevin_b_er]

Limit of 32 appears to only apply to translations, not to the limits in a simple string format specifier.

[Frus]

When using %T don't you need to specify the client/server to use the language from? I thought you usually use %t for things like printhinttext.
