I am so, so sorry for making a thread only for this! But what is the max number of characters one can enter on the chat field?

I know I can preview the bio after entering a description, to see what was entered and what still needs to be typed, but being the lazy person I am, I am thinking of writing it in word activating the character count and then enter the sentences little by little without stopping to preview what was entered everytime.

As a general rule, just write as much as you can see in a single line.

That way you don't accidentally happen to write overboard and just loose all you typed.

It cuts off at 279 for me.

255 is always a safe number.

As usual, I was too anxious to wait for an answer and went about fidgeting with the commands. It took me four hours and a half, but I made it work.

The most problem I got was when I entered something wrong and could not rewrite that specific portion. The only way to fix it was to completely revert the bio.

Happened a couple of times, hence the time it took me to finish it.

Write a bio in a word document and use copy/paste of 2-3 sentences at a time. You can even put in directly your /s f_- commands into the word document if you realize you wanted an extra break here or there making it faster to copy/paste the entire command segment in to get your desired results after reverting the bio to wipe out what you feel got messed up. Of course I'm presuming you have windowed mode to make that kind of process much easier.

I do the same thing as Torzeng. Composing what you need to write on word or even just word pad, where you can see and proof everything is the easiest way. AltTabing, if you don't play in windowed mode works too.

Oh, that is exactly what I did! When the sentence was longer than supported and I had to enter the rest of it that I would need to revert, since adding the rest of the sentence would add a space at the end of the previous one. When I noticed a random space between letters of a single word, I would revert the bio.

I was also in the middle of RP too, while doing that, so sometimes I entered the same portion of text twice. >_>;;

It was worth the effort, though! Gave me a lovely feeling of accomplishment to be able to do it by myself. xD

Bios can be alot easier if you first write them in notepad.

Do it like this:
/s f_bio N Blahblah
/s f_bio A Blahblahblahblahblahblahblah
/s f_bio B
/s f_bio A Blahblahblahblah

Then copy one line, paste it in.. copy the next one... etc etc.
That one REALLY helps on scribing too, just in case you fail one time. :wink:
