Tremulous only allows you to have 63 custom commands and 32 levels. How can i get more?

Well, you could try compiling a QVM that allows more.

That's because none of the QVMs have it changed.

Wrong.

P-G-Qvm should let you do this, i believe google added this a while ago when we got more than 64 normal commands. He might have removed it though. Look through the repository.

Blah, forgot about P-G-QVM. Thanks for the reminder.

BugHuman, I think this is what you're looking for:

Code: (g_admin.h) [Select]
#define MAX_ADMIN_COMMANDS 64

Just change it and recompile it for you QVM of choice.
Its not a feature worth listing, and IMO PG shouldn't release with it changed, the default is already overly generous.

Sure, lets just double everything!  Ram is cheap after all...

Just because something is (wrongly) assumed to be in abundance doesn't mean it should be wasted.
Its not needed under normal use, so it makes perfect sense to not waste it.

It is CVARS ffs, not texture size or anything REALLY eating RAM. You're just bashing Paradox - as usual.

Bissig, i dont really care about their bashing me. After a while, it stops sounding like thunder and starts sounding like mice shitting in sand. You get to ignore it later.

I'm not "just bashing paradox", he said himself that it was google that changed it.

And what's it got to do with cvars?

A QVM can define as many internal commands as it wants, but the number of commands defined in admin.dat is limited to 64 (or 128 on p-g-qvm).
