Mainmenu: -1000- Maps slots!

neodos · Post by **neodos** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 2:07 pm

Hello,

Finaly i got more than 50 max map slots, you can now have 1000 maps slots, the menu loads perfectly.

Perfect for mappacks, have fun and if you use menumenumenu it can take 1 minute to load the chunks but once it's loaded there's no problem

Maybe some day I'll combine all my mappacks together and fill up a quarter of those slots! =p

Very cool! No need to worry about having too much content between Mimesis and my own mainmenu!

That's insane

But 1000??
Well I guess it's alright for people with massive harddrives

Wow. This is really going to help a lot of people. Hopefully whoever made the killtrocity map packs will combine them.

Cool. Too bad a lot of people are gonna be making map packs and pretty soon it's gonna be just like how no one likes race track mods.

Good job now I'll be able to fill a whole dvd-9 with maps only using one menu

Cool - what prevented us from having more than 50 before?

I believe it was unused values?

Cool, nice achievement... If only it was sooner.

I am glad to see it will be useful for some modders.

The reflexives with values set to "unused" in the .ent plugins are not cloned OR corretly handled by entity while clonning chunks, if you change the values set to unused to floats(don't forget to split the unused to float of 4 bytes each one) it will clone correctly

After making some test with many tags, it's indee a big problem which should be fixed please xD because i am not going to change all the unuseds to float on all the plugins because it takes too long to do.

Per example for the effe tags, if you clone the TAG with a .ent which has unused or undefined(i believe undefined have the same problem if the size is more than 4 bytes) the cloned tag will not work, in game you'll not see that effect tag cloned or just half of the effect.

Also this may be a reason of the broken idents.

Please fix this for the next Entity version ^^ if you need more information about those bugs contact me on aim or msn

Is there really any way to have so much memory to even handle 1000 maps?
