Default SectType.txt

Does anybody know why this file is limited to 1000 entries??? That may seem like a lot, but the the huge amount of .bmp files for planets, as well as Fyron's Quad Mod, it shrinks quickly...Of course, there does not seem to be a workaround...

I don't think its actually limited to 1000 entries. Its more likely to be limited by a power of 2 (eg: you can only have 255 mounts in compenhancement.txt).

Hi Fyron,

OK, so the theoretical limit may be 255^2??? I tried merging 30925 objects into the file...se4.exe choked.

P.S. I just was in So Cal...wonderful food. The produce quality at all of the restaurants is top notch (yeah, I am a foodie).

Maybe try 1001 and test the limit?

Sounds like great fun . I am busy headbangin' on a different project right now. I was hoping for a quick and easy answer...I guess the world may never know...

Aw, Fy, I expected a better algorithm from you!

Binary search is much better
But try 1025 first.
