    • maximum number of crons?


      I couldn't find it in the bible -_-

      does anyone know what the maximum number of crons you can have in the game?

      It's mentioned partway through this thread.

    • Do you know what the maximum number of strings is?

    • There's no maximum limit per se on the number of strings. But there are three things that could cause a string count limitation; 1) the maximum of 1,000 mďsn resources (which you already found out about); 2) there's a maximum of 16 simultaneous active missions; and 3) theoretically the maximum number of NCBs (10,000) could conceivably limit string count, but that's highly unlikely since even Nova only uses less that 6% of the NCBs available.

    • On the other hand, if you're referring to the "STR#" or "STR " resource types, then the answer is 32639, numbered 128-32767.

    • Thanks Edwards!

    • Also, a 'STR ' resource can only hold a string of at most 255 chars (an old Pascal string limitation, yes I did say Pascal, it's the language with which the Mac was meant to be programmed at first); 'STR#' strings are also limited to 255 chars, and there can "only" be 65535 strings in one 'STR#' resource.
