#define BASE_BOOK_BUF   700

Defines the base value that BOOKSIZE should return for books with no weight.

Note:

If little books arent getting enough text generated, enlarge this.

Definition at line 46 of file book.h.

#define BOOK_BUF   HUGE_BUF-10

Maximum message buf size for books.

If this is changed, keep in mind that big strings may be unreadable by the player as the tail of the message can scroll over the beginning (as of v0.92.2).

Note:

Note that the book messages are stored in the msg buf, which is limited by 'HUGE_BUF' in the loader.
