Title: Modding Bug: 32 Byte Buffer?
Post by: HLD_Prophecy on October 16, 2015, 01:04:44 pm

So I'm trying to use "play-sound-from-file" symbolic expression to get a music track to play for the whole mission.

FSO (debug) is giving me this error message on launch:

Code: [Select]

ERANGE: String error. Please Report.
Trying to put into 32 byte buffer:

Could somebody please help me figure this out? I made sure to put the file into .ogg format and I'm not sure what else (if anything) I need to do to prepare it.

It's pretty simple. Filenames (including extensions) in FSO must be shorter than 32 characters. In this case, "Portal2_Some_Assembly_Required.ogg" is 34 characters long, and thus breaks that limitation. Shorten the filename.

Wish every bug was that simple. :P

Thanks a bunch! :D
