Renegade has a pathetic decal limit of 50

it needs to be at least 300,
plus they shouldn't just disappear, they should fade away.

It's currently hardcoded as a signed char (or whatever) that limits it from anywhere from -127 to 127 decals (or something like that). Dunno if TT can find a way around that, would certainly be cool if they could.

-128 to 127 actually, but close enough Razz

I'd like to take the opportunity to ask for more bullet impacts before they start dissapearing. I think that's determined client side.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Intended because computers had a hard enough time with the game already. But these days that's not really an issue. (for most anyway)

New games are pretty much the same. You can't have many bullet impact 'holes' before the older ones start disappearing.

Onoes, that would be a MAJOR gameplay change wouldn't it? Now people want to write their names instead of shoot other people!

This cannot be allowed to happen. we will have idiots writing there names on the wall it would be horrible.

Is it possible to make it more then 127 ?

No, the type of the variable is limited to -128..127, changing that would be hell. (if my experiences of int64's in ASM is anything to go by)

Use the ignore button if you don't want to read his comments?

But yes its an old game, I believe that ANY increase in the bullet hole limit would be nice.

if it's determined client side then what's the problem? if people can up the amount of bullet holes they see personally before they disappear who cares; what is that changing? why can't gotzow sign his name in bullets on the hand of nod? that's all he's asking Crying or Very sad

Blame Westwood for deliberately choosing a tiny datatype to store the active/max number of active decals.

Liquid, the problem is next to unchangable, the data type of the value (how big it is, in bytes, and how that byte is interpreted) is so difficult to change without the source code that you're asking them to spend hours to fix this minor problem. To help you get the idea, I think I need to link to something on bits and bytes... here

It'd be nice if it was *just* hours to change the datatype, but since it's a signed datatype we've got to deal with two's compliment issues as well as data packing rules; it'd take days and massive amounts of cloning to *try* to change the datatype and even then it'd be sure to blow up when any unusual condition came around.
