suggestion -- more dialog options

[Frogman_]

Sorry for posting this here; it's been logging me out whenever I try to start a new thread in the other tech forum...

Anyway, right now the max for dialog options per topic is 30, of course.  My suggestion is to make that 40 or 50.  Here's why.  I'm scripting lots of QfG-style dialogs, where one selection branches out into another and so on.  Well, with all these branching options I need a "Something else" option to take you back in the menu.  I can do this with one of these options only, but that takes lots of scripting.  What I'd like to do is simply have multiple "Something else" options to make things a lot easier, but quite a few of the dialogs are too long for that.

Can you not simply have each branch in a seperate topic, with its own Something Else option to move back?

[Frogman]

Well, yeah, that's what I'll be doing a bit with the current setup.  But that would clutter things up a bit, not as organized and all.  But yeah, that will work still

Ok, I'll add the suggestion to my list, but I can't promise anything, so it's probably best if you continue with the workaround for now.

[Frogman]

Ah, don't worry about it.  Using two topics isn't a problem, now that I've worked with it.  You've proven my suggestion pointless once again

I have a related question: there's no limit to the number of dialog options, right?

[Wolfgang Abenteuer]

Options or topics?  You've already run up against the option limit, so I'm guessing you're referring to topics instead.  2.55 has a limit of 200 and 2.56 has/will have a limit of 500.

Yeah there is a limit to the number of topics, as Wolfgang says. But luckily the way dialog topics are implemented means it's really easy for me to increase the limit further if anyone needs it.

Alright, cool.  With 500 topics I don't need more options at all, then  Thanks.
