newgrf limit

cmoiromain · **Posted:** Sat May 03, 2008 4:34 pm

I tried launching a game with many newgrfs, many vehicle sets (wanna try out the new feature), but also other newgrf such as stations, terrain etc...

The problem is, I ended up with this:

Quote:

FATAL: too many NewGRFs are loaded.

I searched the wiki but didn't find the answer to this, so what is the limit of newgrf files? can this limit be increased?

Take some NewGRFs off and other NewGRFs that do the same thing as another current one does. Even better, show the load order and then i can be more helpful on what to keep and what not.

I am not seeking help for my particular problem, I am just asking for precision about the limit of NewGRF files. but thank you anyway for offering support =)

The limit is around 60-ish NewGRFs. More than that is unlikely to be supported because that means that it becomes much harder to check whether the client has the required NewGRFs before joining a server.

HI All

I'm dont playing any on-line games and wants to play with MANY of GRRFs loaded ...

So (in ver 0.6.1 in Source) in file fios.h i've found:
LAST_GRF_SLOT=63
MAX_FILE_SLOTS = 64

i've changed this to:
LAST_GRF_SLOT=160
MAX_FILE_SLOTS = 161

and recompiled the game....
and everything working fine.... for now at least......

(sorry for my bad english)

I would like to put here my patch.

Currently it is possible to load max 63 NewGRF files.
This patch allows you to load up to 255 files in single player mode.
In multiplayer mode GRF limit stays the same - 63 files.
For convenience make two presets, one for single player game and one for multiplayer game :-)

Todo/known errors:
============
1. For some reason warning message is in blue color. Currently I do not know how to change it to white :-)

2. There is a way to overcome this check. Start a new game with many GRFs, save it and then load this game for network play.
3. ( should I make ? ) new message ID.

Patch is for revision 20394.

Your opinion, suggestions and bug report are welcome!

That is not your patch's fault. I have the same thing in a recent unmodified nightly.

Then why haven't I seen that issue on the bug tracker yet?

Please test with r20514 or newer first, as error message colours got fixed recently.
