Stack size = 2^x

Post by DRBLN »

is it essintial to make the stack size equal to 2 to the power of x?
Is it possible to make it e.g. 5,000 in the mods?

probably because there's no "mod help" forum, only a "mod contribution" forum.

Actually there is a modding help subforum (inside the mods section), here
edit: just moved it there, a more appropriate place after all

We plan to change stack sizes to x*10^y (10, 20, 100, 200 etc) for the 0.10 version, but there is no rule for the stack sizes, you can have just prime numbers in your mod if you want :)

Hehe....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

But when I think about it: Choosing fibonacci-numbers isn't that stupid! Look at the beauty:

0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610 987 1597 2584 4181 6765

The former two stack-sizes fits into the next. Makes totally sense for many cases and could play a role when upgrading... instead of increasing the stacks we can inrease the stack-size with very logical rule... scnr just an idea...
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.
