Currently, 2.55 supports 4 Attribytes and 4 Attributes per combo; Attribytes being a number from 0-255 and attributes being a full ZC int number.

I request this number be doubled; I have done the math, and adding another 4 sets of Attribytes (the more helpful of the two to me) would only add 20KB to the quest file size; this was going to be the original request, but Zoria mentioned he wanted to keep the number of Attribytes and Attributes consistent, so I'm requesting another 4 for Attributes as well. Attributes are about 4 times the size of an Attribyte, so in total this would add 100 KB total to the quest file size (given the amount of combos), which is fairly insignificant in comparison to how useful this would be.

I will look into it when I have the time. Perhaps by the end of the week if you remind me on Thursday. Wednesday and Friday are already slated for other things; but your maths are wrong. One attribyte is 65,279 bytes; two are 130,558 bytes (130K), four 261,116 bytes (260K). Attributes are 4x the size, so both would increase quest size by 1,305,580 bytes; roughly 1.25MB, even if it is entirely blank. My decision was not based on memory use, but on quest file size, and hosting space for quests on various servers.

 

P.S. How did you arrive at these numbers? Max combos is unsigned_short_max
