Wow, so I thought I ran into a bug in NWN's engine. I have 400 loading screens (not all are in the new patch) but I noticed only 255 of them will work. NWN has a limit currently on that many. 255 is FF FF in hex..

BUT, the awesome thing is that in NWN v1.69 they plan to expand that number to like 9999 or something crazy!

I will be releasing it KNOWING it'll work when the NWN patch is released! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I am almost ready to upload it to the servers. Just fixing a few textures, and we'll be set.

I will give everyone till Monday to upgrade, so you'll all have time to download it when it's ready to go.

Dude, you be nutz. *grins at ya*
I have read this message over and over, and I still can't get over the fact that you managed to actually go over and above a hardcoded limit within the engine without even trying. If you EVER release this module public, I want you to send me a signed and sealed copy of it just so I can say I have a "Ziroc Original" when you get famous. *grins at ya again* I can't wait to see the fruits of your excessive labours finally blossom and ripen. And in other ways, I can - so no burning yourself out over this stuff. (That's what babysitting your friends' bad kids is for!)

I thought that the suits at NWN had stopped relising patches to concentrate on NWN2 [img]graemlins/confused5.gif[/img]
