The Hardcoded List

[Lord Baal]

Could the OP round up the list of hardcoded things again. And add a few basic but still questioned all the time, like the hardcoded limit of a single guild per city or being able build a single building at once.

Ok, here's another potentially hard coded limit that I have not seen meantioned anywhere, I ran into it and took to ages to realize that I ran into a hard coded problem.

In the descr_character file, you can only define *30* different entries in one particular agent type (does not include generals / captains, but does include spies / assasins at the least and probably others as well. if you type in the 31st entry it will go ballastic.

[Emperor of Hell]

Uhm, what do you mean? Do you mean strat map levels?

[Gigantus]

He means "Faction entries per type".

Was that the reason why it didn't like your Serbian spy? Theoretically you shouldn't need more then 30 because of the number of valid factions.

[Emperor of Hell]

Ah, thanks. Good to know

but if you have an entry for rebels it will hit 31.... priest shouldn't have this problem because rebels use heretics instead, but assasins and spy definately have this problem, merchants apparently dont though.

[Gigantus]

That limit might be one of the reasons why the rebels haven't got most of the agents.

Is there a limit of the number of rebel sub-factions you can create ?

[issler]

has anyone ever tried to bypass those things? im sure there must be a way this is just a game not bloody cia criptography

If you are talking about entries in descr_rebel_factions: there is no limit of creating, the limit is using them, as you can have only one per region.

That would need modification of the game executable, something you do not want to promote on this site.

Is there a limit on how much traits a general can have?

Nobody has found a limit yet. Only ancillaries are limited to 8 (I think).

[Ciaran S]

I wonder, is there a limit on the number of factions a unit can belong to (i.e. could a unit be used by all 31 possible factions)?

[Gigantus]

No limit there - you can actually use 'all' in the ownership line, afaik.

max size for .worldterrain and .worldvegetation for settlements = somewhere between 501 nominal (rows and columns) which works and 531 and over which causes CTD on battle load

(am not going to test it to any more detail than that due to the limited usefulness of +/-15 rows past that point and the even more limited number of people actually likely to be interested in the answer)

[Remonster6x]

Is there a max of different units a faction can recruit at 1 time? A recruitment pool max. I run into a CTD after adding more then 7 non ranged cavalry units recruitable to a faction.

Although, a limit of 512 seems likely.

not for a number that has to be odd it doesn't

[paradamed]

Hi, has anybody got past more than 1425 entries in the battle_models.modeldb file? Im having a repeatable crash when trying to add units.

[Zaridan]

i hope this is the right place to ask this.

does anyone know how to make new attributes for units?
