# of tilesets/items - limitation?

[Ganjika]

My apologies if this has already been asked  :P, but is there a limitation on the number of tileset files or item graphics I have?  I notice i can't get anything over the default number to work in either. Thanks for reading!

If I do recall Correctly the number of items you can have maximum is 255 (unless you change it in the source) and I think you can have a unlimited number of tilesets. If not that is also 255.

._., have you actually read the source, more specifically, the single 21 lines of code that handle counting graphics?

Well, logically speaking, the NumGRAPHICFILEHERE (Such as NumTileset, NumItems, etc) are a long value, which in VB6, the maximum is ~~4,294,967,295~~ 2,147,483,648

So, you're limited to ~~4,294,967,295~~ 2,147,483,648 for each folder of graphics. Not that you'd want to use that much, considering it loads all graphics at the start. The loading times would be horrendous, and I imagine attempting to keep that much graphics in memory would not go down well on any persons computer. =P.

Also note, that I've not considered the DDS_*** arrays, and such. This is just on the basis of the array that counts said graphics.

However, you say "I notice i can't get anything over the default number to work in either.", and I really doubt you're attempting to use that much graphics, so I'm probably missing the point. If so, mind being a bit more specific?
