Limit on Images?

[Switch33]

I've heard that 99 texttags is an limit on texttags ; but i was curious if theres any sort of limitation on images.

I plan on using something close to this to re-code some parts of Anarchon's inventory for my map. And I was wondering what i'm getting into as far as using images instead of destructables before i go about it.

So is there a limit on images? Is there a limit on images "per player"?

Also any other info you want to tell me about em that seems like it could be important feel free to tell me(like maybe something bout alpha channels; or a newer vJASS script that someone else made that is more up to date than ImageUtils).

Edit:
Oh and what about text splats?

What is there speed relative to regular text tags? Do they work with any height at all so they can be displayed over another image? Would it update fast enough that tooltip hovering over items would be relatively instant?

Would not know. Try placing a sick amount of them in a test map?

Well, i can't really check if theres a per player limit. My multiplayer for wc3 isn't working still. I really should just send a complaint to blizzard i've been banned for like over 2 weeks for no reason it's messed up.

If you really think multiplayer would make a difference, test in LAN. You do not need additional players for that. But of course, if there is a restriction, the images would pile up for every player altogether (unless you do it asynchronously) because images are created only locally, no net-traffic. There is no "create image for player" native.

I guess I could try testing in LAN by using Garena eh. . .

And this i am aware of that you need to use local player blocks. Only testing will show if it suddenly desyncs though i guess.

I just hoped I'd be able to find someone here thats already done the testing before me. I mean i'm pretty sure the images have been tested before quite a bit since wc3's been out for so long.

No, you can test in LAN using the normal LAN menu without any other players or connections. What would be the point of sending data about images to other clients? Nothing needs to be synced. And there is show/hide/render, which toggles only the display.

But not for test in multiplayer, with other players. So for don't test alone, he need to use garena. (or other lan platform)

 

[WaterKnight]

And I pointed out why you do not need other players. The only difference could have been between singleplayer and multiplayer >mode< (regardless of players). For example, when showing a dialog in singleplayer, the game stops, whereas in LAN/BNet even with you being the sole player the game untouchedly goes on.

But try it as you please. Any information of done tests could have been likewise false.

I guess i'll make some tests sometime soon if i have some time for it then. I just thought this would save me some time if someone already tested it. Sure some older tests can be wrong; but i figured some people might be experimenting with em lately.

Thanks for the suggestions WaterKnight.
