Summary0001940: Sexp Overflow
DescriptionMission: SM2-08. Retail or MVP edition.
Retail FRED opens the Retail mission without complaint.
FSO FRED generates the following when opening either Retail or MVP Edition:

Error: SEXP OVERFLOW: The sexp starting with the following text...

( and ( is-event-true-delay
      "Destroy Turrets"
      0
   )( or ( is-subsystem-destroyed-delay
         "Sathanas"
         "turret02"
         0
      )( is-su

...is too long! The sexp has been truncated accordingly and is probably no longer correct. Please fix this sexp using a text editor.

(Please note that future sexp overflows will fail silently, and this warning will not be displayed again until you restart FRED.)

File: SEXP.CPP
Line: 4491

I didn't count it but I think this is actually a bug on the :v: mission and the error is correct. Events have a size limit of 4096 characters I should know I'm the one that kept blowing it up resulting in the check as the best case fix. Guessing that event exceeds this and while it will work in FS2 it may cause corruption since memory is most likely getting overwritten somewhere when it exceeds the limit.

Just noticed it's in a debrief stage but I believe the same limit of 4096 exists for just about everything.
