IIRC SE4 only supports 999 component and facility images, right? Well, the ImageMod has over 800 components... this looks like it might be a problem! I wonder what it would take to get support for more, say 9999 or 32767? Otherwise the imagemod would have to be culled when better quality images arrive, and that would be a bad thing, since it would make the mod no longer compatible with earlier Versions... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Nope! The image numbers can go well beyond 256 and even 1024, so I believe they will reach at least to 32K.

There is more than enough room left, I just need to get some time to add the submissions to it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Does the game actually know that 1000 comes after 999 - I figured since the first few components were something like Comp_025.bmp that there had to be the leading zeroes... you're saying the game will take Comp_1000.bmp and not return an error or think it's Comp_100.bmp or something?

Why don't you test it out, and then report your results? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

It works right now with Comp_0999.bmp. It probably does something like
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">val(right(bmp_name,len(bmp_name-5)))</pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Depending on how it's set up (unsigned/signed long/short int), there might not be a practical limit to the number of pictures.
