Change the maximum number of pictures in XP?

[RPGMorpheuS]

So, my problem is very simple: How can I make the XP to use more pictures than 50?
(I just can't find the answer, if someone already asked it, then I'm deeply sorry...)

I had the same problem and it got resolved. You'll need a bit of scripting though.

Anyways here is the topic I started back then:

So after I modified the
Spriteset_Map
like: 1..100
and the
Game_Screen
like: 1..100
(I wanted to make 100 picture.)
I should use script to show the pictures?
(I would prefer the original way of doing this...)

 

[Dalton]

You'd need to use script calls to show pictures with an ID above 50. For evetything below you still can use the standard editor.
Since we are using a little trick to show more pictures than xp allows us to, we can't use the editor anymore.

Hope this helps

Cool, it works! ^^ I used a script like this:
$game_screen.pictures[54].show("a", 1, 320, 240, 100, 100, 255, 0)
Thanks God, it's not difficult at all...
Anyway: Is there a way to make more than 100 pictures?
(I don't need it, my problem is solved, I'm just curious. ^^)

Uhh... I found something interesting: If I use a picture, called "Kom1", that's fine. But if I rename it to "Kom12" that cause an error. (I modified the script too...) Another variations for not working: "Kom_2" ; "Kom_2_Hársfaág" ; Kom_2_Harsfaag"
I just don't get it... :blank:

OMG, now I get it. The script-window is too narrow. Because if I use a long name, then it goes to the nest line, and it cause an error.
For example:
"Kom21" --> wrong
"Ko21" --> works

Is there a way to solve this problem?

You could try to use \ at the end of a line. But you are not allowed to break an argument with it.
Here is an example code from my game:

$game_screen.pictures[70].show\
("Cursor2", 0, 242, 293)


I'm not sure if there is a way to use more then 100 pictures, but I would really wonder if someone would need that many...

Hope this helps
