The Hardcoded List

[danny X]

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.

There is no known hardcoded number for the model.db, but the EDU is hardcoded at 500 entries, have you checked the EDU?

Have you checked it with the model.db checker, mistakes are easy in this file?

Can you post a 'trace' log report?

i hope this is the right place to ask this.

does anyone know how to make new attributes for units?

Close, but it might be better asking the question here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=276

You can't do that, its hardcoded.

One weird thing you can do though is type anything you want in there and the game will recognise that as a unit attribute for scripting purposes, it won't have any effect on the unit though.

I checked everything and no mistakes, 100% sure. The same entry which would cause crash after 1425 wont cause a crash if replaces another entry as long as the 1425 limit is respected. I isolated the factor and only modified the models file, excluding other kind of possible mistakes. We probably know what the hardcoded limit is right now, 1425 entries. The info was confirmed by another modder too.

Not true.

The internal beta of DAC works with 1537 entries in modeldb.

Can somebody make a new hardcoded list please? With all these additions (and debates) since 2007, and the OP not changing, there definitely must be a new list.

Go ahead. Real Life won't let me for a long time to come.

Which is the limit for a single resource map 150? 200?

for example: I can put 200 "sugar" in the map? Where is the max number of same resource for region? I want to put 5 "sugar" in the same region, is it possible?

Help please

I just came across one apparent limit:

9 exploding_[name]_shot entries in descr_sm_projectiles. Tried to add one more and had a crash, even if I simply copy an old entry and rename it. Leaving the crash causing entry and removing an old entry = everything is fine.

Alas! If CA would allow us for a final, community patch to finish polishing this marvelous engine.

So that means only the alternative ammo type (like flaming for archers) is limited to 9? You can still create default projectiles that are explosive, yes?
Also: Added to the new list.

I figure this is for all hardcoded stuff rather than just number limits, so don't take my post as spam please.

CRUSADES:

Max number of crusades at once: 1
Can edit the frequency of crusades: No
Can Orthodox be modded as a crusade target: No

K that's what I've added.

I found a simple solution to this problem: I changed religion "orthodox" to orthodoxy in ALL related files, and now the AI launches crusades against orthodox

Is there a limit for units under a faction in custom battle.

Cheers

[Gigantus]

The limit is set by the EDU limit (500) I would think - unless there is a UI limitation which one might fix by editing the LNT file.

Is there any limitations for number of ancillary types?

Is there any limitations for number of ancillary types?

No limit known. The only limit is 8 ancillaries that a character can aquire.

I think so too: I get crashes when I try to create battles with to many units (such as trying to run it with the slaves)

Is there a limit to the number of possible settlement levels? i.e., could I add an additional settlement level after huge_city in EDB and then give its own strat model in descr_cultures.txt?
