MAX_OBJDEFS

[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:

Com_ParseItem: MAX_OBJDEFS exceeded

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.

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!"

[geever]

Making it a linkedlist or a hashlist is the solution however it's much work, much testing...

[Neonin]

Well since I have absolutely no idea what you just said, I'd definitely conclude it's beyond me

[Mattn]

i will look into this asap (but only for 2.5-dev)

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I just hit this limit seems to be only 7 items was there any progress in allowing this limit to be altered ?

[Mattn]

please open a ticket on the feature tracker. otherwise we will most likely forget it (again). sorry

[AntJam]

Thats ok there hasnt exactly been an avalanche of mods all butting heads on the 7 item limit . made the report
