Ignore item ID limit

[Milk-Cool]

Error: "This level exceeds the item ID limit! (4096/999)"

How do I get around this? It doesn't seem to be a big issue. I don't want to recompile the whole thing myself just to get around this!

[itsmebombie]

you can only use 999 item ids per level. try reducing the script's item id usage

I can't. I need 4096 pickup triggers in my level.

Why do I need to use 999 item IDs anyways? Geometry Dash seems to be able to handle more just fine

what are you even trying to do

what are you even trying to do

use pickup triggers as memory units for an emulator

1 trigger = 1 byte

[itsmebombie]

you know that counters can store more than a byte, right?

[Milk-Cool]

it's just way easier this way

[Milk-Cool]

I mean, if it's the only option here...

[Milk-Cool]

what's the max value?

[SpeckyYT]

2^31-1

[itsmebombie]

the other option is to use way less coutners

[itsmebombie]

what's the max value?

the max safe value is ~2^26

[itsmebombie]

gd takes a huge time to load big numbers

[SpeckyYT]

gd takes a huge time to load big numbers

I tested adding 2^31-1 to a counter, and it took around 15 seconds in 2.1

[itsmebombie]

thats huge time

[Milk-Cool]

what's the max value?

the max safe value is ~2^26

then uhhh ig i can only use 26 bits per trigger, 3 bytes meaning i would need to use 1366 triggers which is still much more than i need

[Milk-Cool]

btw do you know if someone made a chip8 emulator in gd already?

[itsmebombie]

i'd guess bestgamer08 but he's banned on github

[itsmebombie]

he does all sorts of things

[Milk-Cool]

id? if you have it

[Milk-Cool]

also sorry for my terrible english

you can always reduce the mem size to 3kb

[SpeckyYT]

what's the max value?

what do you mean? in spwn or gd?

in spwn (v0.8) it's around (+-) 2^53 and in gd (2.1) it's 2^31-1

[itsmebombie]

id? if you have it

i'm not sure if he has ever done it but there is a pretty big chance

chip8 memory size is 4kib sadly

you can try using collision blocks for the remaining memory

im not sure how efficient they would be tho

discord also works on browser 💀 (it was actually primarely made for that)

[itsmebombie]

ikr

[Milk-Cool]

1 bit per two blocks

65536 objects just for memory

nah thanks

[itsmebombie]

oh yeah right, i just forgor for a moment

[itsmebombie]

i imagine that you could do it with n bits+1

[itsmebombie]

still not efficient but its way better than 65k blocks

[Milk-Cool]

sorry i have to go, see ya in discord ig

I was able to bypass this by manually editing the source code.

compiler/src/leveldata.rs line 294 const ID_MAX: u16 = 999;
