Unless you don't tell to the client that this skills is being used you can't do this :S

@edit

If you ignore the next message sent by the client it might work too

src\map\clif.c

	if( messagelen > CHAT_SIZE_MAX-1 )
{	// messages mustn't be too long
	// Normally you can only enter CHATBOX_SIZE-1 letters into the chat box, but Frost Joke / Dazzler's text can be longer.
	// Also, the physical size of strings that use multibyte encoding can go multiple times over the chatbox capacity.
	// Neither the official client nor server place any restriction on the length of the data in the packet,
	// but we'll only allow reasonably long strings here. This also makes sure that they fit into the `chatlog` table.
	ShowWarning("clif_process_message: Player '%s' sent a message too long ('%.*s')!\n", sd->status.name, CHAT_SIZE_MAX-1, message);
	return false;
}

quite impossible I think

I think the mechanic is ...

when a dancer scream it read a file from client\data\dc_scream.txt

and it just do the same as a player has just "talk"

anyone can change this file and her scream will just talk into the dialog the user modify

I remember there was an old bug report where a player modify this file, input a very very long line,

causing everyone around the bard/dancer doing frost-joke or scream to get gravity error

and it fixed ages ago by using CHAT_SIZE_MAX

since frost joke and scream is acted like *unittalk, its impossible to disable it from server side I guess

I tried to disable the file, or filled with empty lines

seems to be impossible

seems to be impossible

that is really sad maybe doing a "custom" copy of this skill would do the trick?
