Cannot create any more events.

[Laptopdancer]

I have a mongo large overworld map. I know I know. But i started making my game right out of the box before i knew what i was doing... Still don't totally... but anyhow, I can't find a event limit breaker, Woratana's database breaker doesn't do anything to event limits. so i guess im wondering if there's anything out there to deal with my problem. If not then maybe is there any way to make the system handle the overworld map as as a few separate maps?

I'd really suggest either dividing the overworld map, or remove a few events... there might be some that can even be just merged into pages... like if for example you have an autorun or parallel event that runs only at a certain phase of the game...

Plus having too many events can cause lag...

Or just separate the maps yourself? Then you don't need to come up with strange workarounds or hacks to get more events to fit.

There's a limit to how many events you can have per map? How many? I have a pretty large world map too...

 

[Laptopdancer]

Separate the maps myself? how does that go? redrawing from scratch? then rechanneling connected events and moving others?

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

Yes... basically that's it...

and next time, be sure to do planning first so that you won't reach this same problem...

Or

make copies of your overworld... Assuming events are specific to each chapter of the game, you can have one copy of the overworld per chapter... so that each overworld map will only have the events specific for that chapter

The finger waggin part of your message was bunk, but the last part is a great idea. Note taken sport!

But really... what's the limit of events?

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

I think on the engine it says don't put more than 100 per map...

 

[Geekman]

I've seen one-fifty before. HORRIBLE lag. But it still functioned...

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

It never said it won't work after 100 though, it only said it recommends less than 100 becoz of what Geekman said, horrible lag... XD

the actual max might be way way more than that...

You don't have to redraw the whole thing. Just make however many smaller maps you need, give them the same tileset, then shift-right-click copy and shift-paste section by section. You would have to redo all the events though.


Or copy and paste the entire map however many times you need to, then on each copy, erase the map area you don't need and the events on that area, and move what you're left with to the top left, finally resizing the map to fit.


Still a bit of mucking around to do, but both are easier than recreating the whole thing from scratch.

Aren't there anti-lag scripts which keep events from running if they're outside of a certain range?

 

[Shaz]

Yes, there are, and I use one, but they can cause problems depending on what's in your events. Events with move routes, if they move outside the anti-lag area, will just stop and your game will freeze up. Better to add it right at the beginning, if you're going to use one, than half way through.

 

[Laptopdancer]

Now see! you genius....

That's gonna save my bacon. And i can erase all the events except certain areas based on game progression. Then all I need to do is fix the transfers! THANKYOU.

I could even use a script i saw which butts maps together like they're one...

 

[Shaz]

Was that a script I made for someone? I do recall writing one where you could leave one map on any tile and enter another map on the corresponding tile, without having to use ANY events.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

or maybe the one by Tsukihime I think (which puts together multiple maps into one)

 

[Shaz]

I'm guessing this is now resolved, so ...
