Why the hell cant i increase my map numbers above 999?

[damian666]

ok, this is really stumping me…

when i tried to increase my maps above 999, it errors with runtime error 9.

when looking at it in source, it highlights mapnumber 1000...

i dont know how, or why it does that, is eclipse not used to that amount of maps?

It's a program, not a bloody woman. It doesn't stop working because it's "not used" to something. xD

Anyway, change your MAX_MAPS value, make sure everything to do with the map number is stored in an integer/long… I can't think of much else.

[damian666]

lolol, i thought it worked the same as a women XD

let me ask ya this, is this known behavior on eclipse?

or is this something only i experience?

Why are you asking me? I've never used Eclipse in my life.

You've got the wrong kind of mindset. ;P

If you're experiencing it, that means it's a problem with the code. Fix the code and it'll work.

[damian666]

well, your good, so i thought you would know XD

cant blame a guy for asking right? ^^

Go through your code and make sure it's as I say.

I don't understand why it'd suddenly stop working at 1000, as no data type is limited to that amount.

Tell me exactly what sub it errors on and paste it in here.

[damian666]

Max_Maps is allready stored as a integer.

```
Sub SpawnMapItems(ByVal MapNum As Long)
    Dim X As Integer
    Dim Y As Integer

    ' Check for subscript out of range.
    If MapNum < 1 Or MapNum > MAX_MAPS Then
        Exit Sub
    End If

    ' Spawn all the mapped items on their specified tile.
    For Y = 0 To MAX_MAPY
        For X = 0 To MAX_MAPX
            If Map(MapNum).Tile(X, Y).Type = TILE_TYPE_ITEM Then
                If (Item(Map(MapNum).Tile(X, Y).Data1).Type = ITEM_TYPE_CURRENCY Or Item(Map(MapNum).Tile(X, Y).Data1).Stackable = 1) And Map(MapNum).Tile(X, Y).Data2 <= 0 Then
                    Call SpawnItem(Map(MapNum).Tile(X, Y).Data1, 1, MapNum, X, Y)
                Else
                    Call SpawnItem(Map(MapNum).Tile(X, Y).Data1, Map(MapNum).Tile(X, Y).Data2, MapNum, X, Y)
                End If
            End If
        Next
    Next
End Sub

```
ok, this is weird, i deleted my maps again, and now it loads just perfect O.o

this was a clean server to begin with, no maps or whatever…

Stop doing drugs?

[damian666]

heheh XD

i rather not thank you ^^

is there a place it stores the mapitems depending on max_map number or something?

because i just now tried to up the amount again, and then it errors on the same place.

so it seems its depending on what maps it saves on first run, but i cant find any place where it would store that, it should just be able to up the amount when ya want? atleast i think it should, i dont see why not…

Look around the source and you'll find it.

[damian666]

i am ^^

this is a weird thing, and i think it should get out of the source if posible, its much easyer if ya can up the amount any time ya want.

oh well, thanx mate ^^

It's all dynamically set in the editor in Origins, so it's much easier.

[damian666]

yeah, origins is going to pawn all thats out now man ^^
