I was wondering if it was possible to increase the maximum size of rooms to 1,000, the maximum dialog messages to 10,000 and maximum Invetory Items to 500.
I know this sounds excessive. I am not trying to undertaken largest adventure game known to man, but rather attempting something similiar to GK2 where a lot of rooms will be taken up with closeup views and such forth rather than locations. But it is a dialog heavy game.
Sorry, forgot my socail grace. Please insert Please and Thankyou throughout my message.
First posting forgetfullness.
There are always requests for making more of everything, but CJ will probably wait until there is a popular demand for increasing these things.
In the meanwhile, I suggest you start making a couple of hundred rooms, some thousand dialogs messages and 300 inventory items, to see if there actually will be a need for more. If there is, you could just make a part 2 of the game.
The best thing is that when you have reached this point - in some years - AGS will most surely reached new heights when it comes to system limits.
Good luck!
You can already have up to 1000 rooms, but only the first 300 will save their state. So if you just have a close-up image room that doesn't need to remember whether objects in it are on or off and so forth, then just call it room400 or whatever and it'll work.
If the dialog messages or inventory become a big problem for you, I can increase them at a later date, so don't worry. I'm sure you can understand we've had experience of people coming along, saying they need the limits increased, then not even getting near them - so feel free to request these features again when you're approaching the limits in your game.
I would really like to see more rooms also. I tried to save a room as room301 and it doesn't recognize it.
Saving as "room301.crm" will load in the game, but rooms >300 do not appear in the room list in the editor.

Would it be possible to have rooms above 300 appear in the list, so that people can keep track of which room is which view? Perhaps they could be in italic which a note saying they are Non State Savable or something.
