1. HUD Elements(shaders, scrollbars, progress bars, lines & everything you Draw) never overflow. This is why we use scrollbar in a Menu.
2. Regarding Font Strings
*COD4 PS3 supports up to 25 different SetText() total in a Game. If you exceed this limit there will be an overflow.
*Colorful Text counts as an extra SetText() This is logical since you type ("^1Option") & ("^2Option") = 2 Different SetText()
*Even if you Destroy() the SetText() that means nothing... There is still the 25 limit. The game has already bound space in memory in order to create the text. Even if you destroy it only the user sees it disappear. But it is still in cache.
*HUD Messages (The green welcome messages) still count as a SetText()
*Lower Messages (ex: Press Button To Capture Care Package) count as a SetText()
*Progress Bar Messages ( Custom Or Buit In Game [Capturing..., Planting..., Defusing... etc] ) count as a SetText()] This is why the Menus overflow more often in S&!
*If you Destroy() & then appear the same text for unlimited number of times this will never cause overflow!

    Examples:

Normal Text

1. for(;{SetText("Text"); wait .1;} // <-This never overflows



2. Status Verification

list = "VIP|ADMIN|HOST";

status = strtok(list, "|");

for(i=0;i<status.size;i++) SetText( "Access Level" + status[i] ); // 3 SetText



3. Colorful Text!

while(1) SetText("^" + Randomintrange(0,100) + "Text"); // <-Never Use This... It will overflow in about 2 seconds when the 25 limit is reached...

The conclusion is that doesn't matter how many times you call the SetText but how meny different texts you use... In PS3 you can use up to 25 different texts!
So try to make a menu base that uses less than 25 different strings maximum & try not to have many welcome messages because they count too...
My Menu uses only one string. This allowed me to use strings in other functions too. And they never overflow because they never reach the number 25
Using a Base like this will allow you to make up to 24 Different Sub-Menus that will never crash if you don't use Hud Messages or SetText somewhere else in your patch...
