Edit: I forgot to mention one thing. If I replace all the strings from the credits with blank space, the dialog file becomes bigger, so how can it be that the original is replaced?
Edit 2: I recompiled r45 and edited one string, but CCC did not freeze. I may have just accidentally changed something, I'll add in all the strings and see how it goes.

Can you try the latest one? I made a mistake with shrinking entries, forgot that lengthDif was negative, so I was adding it instead of subtracting, meaning that smaller entries were doubling the size of an entry.

Last view: 274 days ago 		Does it happen every time any string is read in CCC? Does it read an unedited version fine? If so, what if you edit an entry not referenced by CCC?
I put a sign in JRB Ship reading an edited string 0 and it displayed.

Last view: 2247 days ago 		Simply editing any string with r44+ makes the level crash on entry (white screen). If I open it again after this in r42 and save any one string, the level will cease crashing on entry. Also, removing 90% of objects in the level prevents it from crashing even after being edited in r44.

Last view: 274 days ago 		The difference I can see is that r42 pads the end of each entry with zeroes because it overestiamtes the new string length, meaning offsets are shifted forward as well but I don't see how that would crash it.

I noticed the end of the file has nine FF bytes that r42 removes, r44+ doesn't and after saving r44's version with r42 they are removed. Can you try manually removing them and testing if your level crashes?

Last view: 2247 days ago 		It made no difference. Where is the address 0x08 into the file supposed to point to? It looks like it was supposed to point to the end of the file, but it's off by about 0x1000+ only in my star road rom. I tried correcting it but it made no difference.

Edit 1: I found msg_data_eng.bin in the rom's file table and setting it to end halfway through the file made CCC work, so It is again looking like a size issue. I am starting to suspect that a whole heap of padding has ended up in there somehow, but it is definitely not at the end of the file (not much of it, anyway).

Last view: 274 days ago 		Mega-Mario's Documentation:

BMG files hold the message (text) data. They are originally LZ77 compressed, with the 'LZ77' string at the beginning, but can be reinserted without compression, pretty much like any file in SM64DS's file system. Well, you quickly get why they are compressed: they're above 80k raw, and compression halves their size

Once decompressed, the file begins with the following 32 byte long header:
0x00 [4b]: GSEM (0x4D455347)
0x04 [4b]: 1mgb (0x626D6731)
0x08 [4b]: size of the whole file
0x0C [4b]: number of sections? always 2
0x10 [4b]: ???
0x14 [12b]: zero

Followed by the INF1 section, which tells where each string is in the file. The section begins with a 16 byte header:
0x00 [4b]: 1FNI (0x494E4631)
0x04 [4b]: size of the whole section
0x08 [2b]: number of string entries
0x0A [2b]: ???
0x0C [4b]: zero
Followed by as many entries as said in the header. Each entry is 8 bytes long and laid out as such:
0x00 [4b]: offset to string data, relative from the end of the DAT1 section header (see below)
0x04 [2b]: ???
0x06 [2b]: ???

Now comes the meat: the DAT1 section. It's started by a 8 byte long header:
0x00 [4b]: 1TAD (0x44414531)
0x04 [4b]: size of the whole section
And the string data. At this point, you're just past the DAT1 section header, and the string offsets in the INF1 sections are relative from here.

String data is not ASCII. Each byte represents the corresponding character in the alphabets posted above. For example, 0x00 is a '0', 0x0C is a 'C', 0x20 is a 'W', and 0x33 is a 'a'.
There are also some special bytes, which are not characters. Here are the main ones:
0xFF: end of string data
0xFD: linebreak
0xFE: special code begin

Known special codes (0xFE character included, listed as hex):
FE 05 03 00 00 - D-pad glyph
FE 05 03 00 01 - (A) glyph
FE 05 03 00 02 - (B) glyph
FE 05 03 00 03 - (X) glyph
FE 05 03 00 04 - (Y) glyph
FE 05 03 00 05 - (L] glyph
FE 05 03 00 06 - [R) glyph
FE 07 01 00 00 00 XX - number of stars till you get XX
FE 07 01 00 00 02 XX - number of glowing rabbits till you have caught XX

0x08 is the entire file size. I simply read it and add/subtract the difference in length of the new string, same with DAT1 + 0x04.
I may add the option to import/export strings from TXT/XML to help with situations like this.

Last view: 2247 days ago 		I finally fixed it, there was an error in the compression caused by me continually resetting the dialog file and changing things, making the file decompress to a very large size. I reverted everything correctly this time, edited some strings and it worked.

Since that is resolved, I'll tell you that strings with special commands such as this one do not compile correctly:

Save now?

[0xFE]5200[0xFE]5202 Save and continue
[0xFE]5202 Save and play mini-games
[0xFE]5202 Continue, don't save

Yoshi's and other players' models are in ARCHIVE/arc0.narc/data/Player.

Me too. When I open Lethal Lava Land, an exception dialog displays that the program was trying to read a non existent file in the ROM. The problem was in the code that renders the puzzle tiles.
