Help Problem adding menu!!!

[thedogcow]

Hi, I have successfully added menu's to my 8210 in the past, however this time i have decided to make a large menu in notepad first, then drop it into g3n0lite... I am inserting it into a currently unmodified (just to test the menu without functions) 8210 flash file, and have reserved 200,000 bytes of ppm space (there is still more available!) yet i get an error saying "cannot allocate more space in stack data" however i'm sure i can't have added 200,000 bytes of menu data!!!

The menu is being inserted between INVALID ADDRESS and NetMonitor


Please help!!! (I have used a modified flash containing all the same menus so i know it can't be a space issue :-? )

It may be to do with the amount of text you are adding

as a test try to patch the new menu structure with all the names pointing to the same text address

So for example change all the menus to have phonebook as their text
to do this change the bit that says DEADBEEF to what the phonebook entry says in this field
this would make all your menus display phonebook but would save a lot of space :)

If this then patches then you know that it is the text that is causing the problems!
If this is the case try shortening the names of your menus :)

That didn't seem to work, but i'll investigate more closely when im more awake... I was looking at the projectX flash file, and they seem to have just as many menus patched too... Perhaps i should add the text manually to the flash, and then insert the menus by adding them manually, instead of usinf the +add text command?

Dunno, but some help from the projectx ppl would be great!

Thanx

Also just figured out i can delete all da help texts in the flash... who really uses them anyways??? They are sooo huge, and then i can just set the help offset to zeros!
