Are there limits to the RPG Maker?

[FranklinX 37]

I am very curious about something. Does anyone know if there is a limited amount of pages an event can have? Can too many pages in an event create a crash?

[Polraudio 122]

everything has a limit :P

right here for XP: http://xrpg2.clicdev.com/f/index.php?showtopic=2537 Note: just hit cancel to the user and password

Cant find VX but my guess would be that they are the same.

 

I remember dragon found out the limits of how many event lines you can have. Dont remember what they were. EDIT: i think it was 6000 something.

Why would you need that many events; not only for that one title, but for the whole map would be ludacris. It might crash or just be slow.

That is exactly the point :P. In theory there are no limits to the rpg maker program, as in events, and scripting you can do anything if you know how. However in reality were we must live with lag, this is not the case. Yes you can do anything, but some of it would cause the program to lag so bad that your game wouldn't be playable. As Pol. said 2 there is limits to event lines, just as there is to number of maps= 999, and the max stats you can give to actors =9,999 Hp,MP; 999 for rest. Course with the maps and stats limit can be broken with scripts, those scripts also have limits though.

A very complex game may require many events or lines. The RPG Maker would not be the best choice depending on the amount of lines needed.

I meant RM, I didn't think I needed to be pacific.

The majority of these "limits" are limits they placed in the editor, not the actual engine. They can all be broken with scripts to a degree. You will eventually reach a limit, since Arrays. just as an example have a max value, which you cannot break. In all technicality, these are your real limits for most things, which will vary depending on you CPU architecture, since 32 and 64 bit systems handle memory differently.

Which is true since I do have a script that breaks some of those limits.

But then you can just have multiple arrays. You also don't have to keep it all in memory. You can use the large yet slow harddrive if you want.

 

Anyway, the max map size Dubealex found is not correct as there doesn't seem to be a specific limit to the number of event commands you can have.

Having an event with 10k event commands may not cause lag.
