    i get that...

    i was adding this commit to my mod

    https://github.com/FacialTurd/The-Powder-Toy/commit/dadac37264d9c75035747903b43c50d418c57860

    and after i added it my mod wouldnt start... it compiles fine.

    and just to add this i have 231 elements in my mod including the 2 that were added in that one

    Thanks

    you are running into some element limit issues then...
    wall numbers start at 222, so the farther you go from there, the more problems.
    i bet that is what is causing the issues.

    i changed 222 to 322 so i assumed i would be able to use up to 255

    edit:::

    the value is stored as a char right...

    therefore... if we convert it to something with a bigger limit

    well... increasing it won't make it work...
    mostly because of the unsigned char thing you mentioned.

    the particle and wall selections are pretty connected right now, and have a 0-255 limit.
    the particle limit is for a different reason though.

    changing the type of bmap might work, there are a few other manual changes you may need to make by increasing it.
    but still that would only give a 0-255 particle limit still.

    theres not terribly much you can do, i'm afraid, i did manage to increase limit even more, you can try the same thing i did, here are the commits.

    https://github.com/FacialTurd/The-Powder-Toy/commit/e1eeaf9e9a1cd5f500cc262e871d36a341782eca

    https://github.com/FacialTurd/The-Powder-Toy/commit/ff01973658fc72b107c820e7f9f738e1a872b261

    of course this was with an older version, but the main thing is increasing the bitshift that stores particle type, which allows for higher limit. when i did it, i only had a few wall glitches which could probably be fixed.

    thanks :D

    ill try

    edit:::

    i did that...

    this is what ive got in my defines.h file

    #define PS 12 //the particle number shift that also determines element limit
    #define TYPE (int)pow(2,PS)-1 //where the type of the particle is stored in pmap

    it still errors though

    thanks for your help

    edit:::

    fixed it :D

    thanks

    do i need to put the 0xFF to 0xFFF or TYPE? EDIT::: nvm - its messed up if i dont




    edit:::

    changing the number to anything other than 8 makes the colour go wierd

    If we used wchar instead of char we would have 65 536 elements max. It would also double save size.

    Do you mean it would take double time to load saves

    @Cracker64

    i have succesfully added those 3 commits. but i am having a few minor problems.. firstly walls keep randomly appearing... secondly blendpixel and apppixel and the menu's graphics are messed up

    The entire source code that you're having problems with would be helpful.
