In making my own custom items, I came across this problem: The extended tooltip describing the item had a text limit of approximately 435 characters inclusive of spaces, colour codes, etc.
You could type in a much longer description or add more colour variations in the editor but when running the map, the actual tooltip displayed would always appear chopped off at the 435 character mark.
Is there a way to overcome the text limit in tooltips so that you can have long flavour text like those in the description of Dota heroes?
EDIT: This arbitrary limit seems to apply to item extended tooltips exclusively. When I created a custom hero tavern and added some test heroes to see the tooltip for purchasing them, the extended tooltip for hero purchase was able to display the maximum 1024 characters hardcoded into Warcraft 3. No wonder Dota can have such long flavour text... =(
