RE: Therapy Dream

Just making a post here to warn people. The custom story relies quite heavily on timers, and I just learned that everything callback related is indexed in a 16-bit integer value, so the maximum number of callbacks is about 65535. Because of all the timers I have, when this maximum number's reached, the game will crash with a BlackBox error on the next map load.

I'm trying to reduce the problem, but I can't fix it entirely without redesigning the maps involved. I can't really spare the time for that, with my German courses and all soon. So this particular crash has a probability of occurring to other people if they were to play long enough post-release. I didn't even know this was a thing before, otherwise I'd have done alternatives.

Sorry about that.

Infrequently active. Don't expect an immediate response. Best to contact me at a different locale. If I create a thread, expect me to be quite active.
