A few minutes ago, I came upon this: (from June 2005)
Our expierience :
*********************************************************
The editor excepts 999 entries in every category and he ignores
- triggers after number 511 (without error message during the editing process and playing)
- conditions after number 511 (without error message during the editing process and playing)
- effects after number 255 (without error message during the editing process and with error message during the game <Crash to Desktop>)
- objects (ListItems of course) after number 255 (without error message during the editing process and with error message during the game <freezing>)
- areas after 127 (without error message during the editing process and with error message during the game)
On the worldlevel he accepts 127 objects plus 63 enemysites.
Of course we can only report our experiences using the trial and error method. And, who needs 511 triggers ?
********************************************************
And it's time for a little more information and a little patch to the editor.
ahk-horus
worldlevel accepting 127 + 63? I always heard (seen) 90 total.... if above correct, that's real good news
but!! Effects capped at 255 ??? NOOOOOOO this can't be true, can it?
My scenario has 277 effects (give or take a miscount or two) because I have a LOT of (vital) messages, and because I have 87 triggers, most of which I wanted OFF to avoid lag, but then forcing me to have a ton of 'turn on/off trigger'.
I have only typed in about 60 of them so far, but I'd hate to get to 255 and not be able to add more, or worse, set everything in motion to find it ignored / crash

If the 255 limit stands, I'm royally screwed.... what on earth do I do now???
Anybody have any experience with these numbers ???
