Increase limits

[Black NEXUS]

Hiho,

I have no desire to slow as Mod-Developer more! The limitations of the research, buildings and their results are far too low! How shall I develop a reasonable modification? I would like to retain the original data and add my own, but that's not really, because the limitations are too low.

I wonder at all, why are kept so low. Is there any explanation?

[Zarel]

The limits were instated by Pumpkin because of performance limitations.

They really aren't necessary these days, but it's a good upper bound - too much game complexity simply isn't fun. :/

Yes ok, it must be a limit to give, but it can not be earlier?
Let's take the building, which can be added as results that are all 4, if not something new comes. Us there is not much space, we need more, even if it's only 20, but it must simply be more and do anywhere!

[Zarel]

...um... I'm used to bad English, but I really couldn't understand that.

Can you write in German?

Ok, than in german:

Wir als Modder haben ein großes Problem mit den Begrenzungen. Es sind ja beispielsweise bei den Gebäuderesultaten nich mal mehr Platz für 5 neue Gebäude. Wir haben keinen Spielraum, müssten anderes entfernen, was aber gerade ich nicht möchte. Die orginalen Daten sind mir schon wichtig, ich möchte mehr anhängen, aber bestehendes nicht überschreiben.
Was ist daran so schlimm, die Grenzen überall um mindesten 20 zu erhöhen? Klar muss irgendwann auch einmal schluss sein, aber sollen wir als Modder alles zerstören?

Hoffe dies ist jetzt verständlich genug. Ich kann es selber auch ändern, aber dann müsste jeder meine Version besitzen...

There are a lot of buildings that aren't being used, aren't there? Collective and Nexus buildings, for instance. Can you just overwrite those?

[Black NEXUS]

You're right, and there is a mp-mod is, there should be no problems with the sp.

Only then at least these limits must be raised:
Structure results
Components results
Researches
Structures

Is this possible?

When it comes to increase to twenty. Then some others would definitely be satisfied.

There are quite a few research topics that are no longer used, too... And we recently raised one of the limits from 450 to 500, I think.

The other limits do deserve to be raised. I'll see what I can do.

Mod limits. They're used for writing mods.

Ok, here is the actual code from the research.c:

Code: Select all

#define MAX_RESEARCH_STRUCT_PR      (44 + 5)
#define MAX_RESEARCH_FUNC           (250 + 25)
#define MAX_RESEARCH_STRUCT_RED     (30 + 2)
#define MAX_RESEARCH_ARTE_RED       (40 + 5)
#define MAX_RESEARCH_STRUCT_RES     (84 + 5)
#define MAX_RESEARCH_ARTE_RES       (125 + 5)

By now it should be clear what I mean

[Black NEXUS]

How it looks now, it is done, or do I do that alone?
Can I send an SVN-Patch, which is then taken over? I need this change is really urgent!

Edit:
I have uploaded my SVN-Patch.
