Ok, first off, I know absolutely nothing about FLHook, but judging from your video, it looks fine to me. Or at least, "better than nothing". And most of the time, people aren't going to read if they don't want to read, no matter how appealing it is. But with the amount of work @Karlotta has put into this already, and the fact that it looks like you have it ready to be implemented in-game, it would be a shame to see this go to waste.

The text is too small to read comfortably, but other than that I think it looks much better and more useful than the current /help command. Is there absolutely no way to make the text standard size?

What number of characters is "large amounts of text"? I could keep each help topic character count below that number. But really, I think the one you already made with normal text size would be just fine, and with small text size better than nothing, at least as a temporary solution. Also use . as paragraph separator instead of  if possible.

Me and Alex are still running tests to try and work out the cause/fix, but from my observations, it was just under 1024 characters, but this was just from one of my tests. I think it varies from one to one.

My FLHook stuff has frozen until this bug is fixed. When it is fixed, the A won't be needed at all, and neither would any replacement.

While I wait for a fix so I can continue, I am forced to work on other things. When eventually it is fixed, we should have a lot of new FLHook toys to play with all at once.
Maybe it's a UTF-8 vs UTF-issue?
Also, isnt it possible to just create the infocard with an infocard editor and put them in the mod, and jsut use FLHook to bring up that infocard?
Can someone tell me how to edit and add infocards into the mod? I have the FL Infocard Import/Export tool but it seems it can only be used to browse them.

FLDev.

The problem with this method is that if you want to change something or make a new edit, you have to wait for another entire patch. That and you'll require dev sign off for each individual change and the actual implementation in the first place. The reason I went for this approach is that it can be changed at a moments notice with a simple edit of a text file.
