[DiscordArchive] does string block offsets start with 1 or 0 ? i mean string ends with empty byte so string `Hangar`

Original source
the first byte isn't special, so "1" will refer to "H"

It doesn't matter as long as the string block pointer is valid

it does matter bcs if offset 1 is that empty byte then reading it will be wrong bcs there will be some empty character at start

i g2g, but the reason it causes issues for his reader is that he doesn't read c-strings correctly, he guesses the length of the string by using the following offset as a heuristic, assuming all strings are sequential in the block

you won't have this issue if you start reading and writing them as proper c-strings

but i think i got it right bcs in my read script im skipping offset 0 then reading `next - current - 1` bytes at `current` offset then skipping 1 and moving to next offset

yeah it incidentally might work with your example, but you're relying on all dbcs following this patterns which they likely don't

Yeah, like IHM said you should read it like a c string

i dont see any way how it could be different in any dbc
