There is no string limitt (well no string limit within reason, I think it's 65535 or something like that). The 1024 limit was imposed in the program staredit. If you use starforge, then the limit can be broken easily.

Oh really? Can you show me a map made in starforge that exceeds the 1024 mark. I cant seem to make one that works.

Its always been known that the stringlimit is only in staredit.
However since the format uses WORDS as offsets you cant have more than 65536 letters (including 3 bytes overhead oer string).
Scmdraft has always been able to add more strings when you reached the limit...[right][snapback]176404[/snapback][/right]

ADDITION:
Yup, in the SCM draft string editor, you can make new strings. And there is no limit.
ADDITION:
It might be more complicated then that. I posted in the "OMG I Broke the sting limit" topic with a question.

I was inquiering about Starforge because you were talking about Starforge. I already know about what SCMDraft can do.

Cool. In that case we don't have to worry about strings. Making this an even better system.

65536 is the CHARACTER limit within strings!
ADDITION:
Oh whoops.
Sorry Chu,
I just looked at QPirateking's screenshot and thought all three menus had come out at once..

Chracter limit is harder to reach than string limit, in the thread where the string limit was breached and he had close to 3000 strings, he wasn't using even half of the character limit. Though I guess putting spaces on the end of every string to make them display longer would take up more room. You would probably reach the character limit at about 1400 strings or so if you really pushed it.

There already is. I can't remember the map exactly, but from what I recall it kinda sucked so it never caught on. Rather play a real MUD, anyway.

Oh, I had a similar system:
It was like my Question system, which noone seemed to notice.
But it had un-limited possiblities. Stupid me, i use beacons, i coulda used building, to answer the questions...
I coulda made 100,000 questions, and 10,000,000,000,000 answers (assuming i had the time and could be able to fit that much paragrahps in...) And it would only use... 100000 triggers for each question. 10,000,000,000,0000 triggers for the answers, and like only like 30 triggers to randomize the quetions.
It was 1 question per 2 swtiches i think...
But this is great, thx for giving me an idea!
