MAX_AMOUNT

[Peopleperson49]

What is the maximum I can set for MAX_AMOUNT without errors? I want to implement a coin system as a special type of currency, however, it doesn't make sense for players to only be able to carry around 30,000 of them. After some playing around with it, it seems like anything above 32767 gets weird. Thanks.

since amount is short by default, the max is 32767

Is there a way to increase it to a much larger number or have the item fill additional inventory slots when it is greater than 30,000? A lot of servers use custom item/coins for various things and with the extended cash shop its easier than ever to use your own currency. Being such a small number is very limiting. Thanks.

32767 is greater than 30000.

I think if you need more than that short limit, you need to change the packet stuffs I think, but also not sure, the client can show the item amount more than 32767 or not.

Maybe. There is 4 Bytes in the packet for the item amount as far as I see, or does the server append anything of 2 Byte at the end of a packet? Then it would only be two bytes. I checked for ZC_ITEM_FALL_ENTRY, which is 19 Bytes and the amount (as the last entry) starts at offset 15.

Just an idea (sorry for doublepost):

Could you add another entry in the inventory after 30.000? Like the item appears like a weapon twice? Or will the client block that? Just playing around with ideas.

That would be good if it would do it. Who knows.
