Title: Golden Sun: The Broken Seal Hack Help
Post by: thenightsshadow on 08, November, 2010, 06:44:37 AM
I keep getting error messages like:

"Cannot compress string with current compression tables.  The tables need to be re-written, but that isn't currently supported."

What exactly is happening here?

The game probably can't accept certain letter combinations, so the editor prevents you from doing using them. For example, Marquis or Kingdom might give you problems.

Have a nice day.

Do you have a list of what names/combinations aren't usable?

What's happening is that the string can't be compressed with the current compression tables, they need to be rewritten, but that isn't currently supported.  The compression tables are formatted in a way that it becomes impossible to compress a string at all if you put the wrong letters beside each other.

Aw, well don't be totally disappointed, atleast you can still use your username..

It's too bad we can't have the text field empty... even with just a space. I assume that's why we use '?' instead.
