Akmatov Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Chatting on IRC yesterday, I was told that the maximum number of installations is 2067. This leads me to wonder what the maximum number of installations is for the other categories might be. If it is listed somewhere, just point me in the right direction. Akmatov Quote
TonyE Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Well, you were told the maximum number of installations is 2047, just so nobody gets on the wrong track here... That is the maximum for each annex (ship, sub, plane, dumb bombs, missiles, nukes, installations, ...). Quote

That is the maximum for each annex (ship, sub, plane, dumb bombs, missiles, nukes, installations, ...). 11 bits per annex, minus 0 that has special meaning ? Don't tell me you're doing segmented memory pointer like stuff, are you ? In it's those situations, you see how old the foundation is. I salute you for loving this code like you do Quote

Don't tell me you're doing segmented memory pointer like stuff, are you ? In it's those situations, you see how old the foundation is. I salute you for loving this code like you do There is a mechanism in there that came before me. Each annex in theory could have 4096 entries (12 bits) but instead it is divided into a disk annex (2047) and a memory annex (2047) with the two spares left over to reduce the effects of any off-by-one errors that haven't been addressed already. Once or twice I've attempted to use the full 4096 (disk IDs only) but didn't make it thru all of the challenges. The long term plan is as we've discussed to raise the limits as to be meaningless.

Nice to know that the 2047 max relates to all annexs. Quote
