MAX_OBJDEFS

(1/3) > >>

Neonin:
While adding new things to the game I appear to have hit a hard-coded item number limit, as the last item I added causes my loading screen to go black and the log to throw up this error:


--- Quote ---Com_ParseItem: MAX_OBJDEFS exceeded
--- End quote ---

Is this constant something that could simply be upped in the official code to give us modders more room to play with, or is it a more complex issue than just bumping up the number?

It needs recompiling the game from source, so no. :(

H-Hour:
I think he's asking if the number could be increased in the official game so that a modder has more room to work with, not whether it's scriptable.

Mattn will have to weigh in on whether the number can be increased.

Mattn:
it can be increased - but to be honest i would like to see a more dynamic approach. otherwise for non-modders we might just waste a lot of memory.

Neonin:
Well that's probably beyond me, I haven't tried delving into the code and I have no idea how much extra memory is used per item.

I shall remove the two extra items I added last night so I can play the game then, I got everything in I wanted to (for now) except for a few extra base defence weapons so it'll tide me over until a solution is forthcoming, even if it's "We don't want you putting that much extra stuff in the game, get stuffed modder!" :D
