[EO] modConstants

[Tompwnage]

Alright I've been playing around with VB 6.0 and learned alot from it. But something confused me. In order to change the number of maps, items, spells, ect I need to change the modconstants. So I did, for example # of items lim was 255 and so I changed it to 350 to test it out.
Public Const MAX_ITEMS As Byte = 350
then I saved it, launched the server and logged in. When I checked the items in the editor the item lim was still 255\. In my head I was like how could this be? So I went to the server and reloaded the items. Then checked again and still the lim was 255\. I don't know what went wrong.

Can someone please give me some inside on how this works?

Thanks for reading my post.

They're set as 'byte'. You can only set it as a value between 0 and 255.

Change it to integer or long if you want more.

As Byte means it can't be more than 255\. Change it to As Integer.

You have to compile it (File > Make server.exe) in order for it to save the changes.

Sorry a bit confused, basicly:
Public Const MAX_ITEMS As Integer = 350

Make sure you set that on both the server and client.

Alright, sorry but I got a error. I did as so and made another server.exe

When I ran it I got as follows:
Run-time error '10048'
Address in use

Woops didn't notice thanks, I ran the new server logged in and it didn't work same 255.

robin you mentioned I had to change something in the client side? Umm where in there I am not sure.

[Robin]

modConstants… the same value you changed server-side.
