//   399297860,            // 1.0 FULL   
   -553984927            // 1.2 FULL (german)

I think those are the file limitations.... I just don't know what to change them too :D

you want to increase them to about 1mb - apparently its all about effciency....no need to be rediculous increasing the available 3 fold is plenty

One last question.. what do I use to compile the code and once it is compiled, where do I put it?

That's what they said back in the day about 640 kb of RAM, too. :D  Fortunately, in this case, we can just go back and make it bigger. :)

untouchable: You need Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, and it generates an executable you can put into your FS2 folder as if it was the original to run it. Newer versions of Visual C++ (are there any? I generally try to ignore MS's products when possible) MAY work, or they might not. Older probably won't, unless a miracle occurred and MS managed not to change any of the file formats between the two versions.

If you don't have Visual C++ and don't want to buy it, I recall that there's an "introductory" version of it that might work as well. I've only seen it on CDs that came with books, but it might be available for download. I don't know what the limitations are on it, either, but it may be worth a try.

Well, like I said in another thread, contributing to a unified TBL would be... rather cool...

Anyway, what exactly is the price for ramping up the TBL limit? Is it great?

there is an intro vertion that adds a little nag mesage to the start of any EXE you make,
if anyone knows how to disable this I'd like to know

Ahhh, shoot... there was this cool little compiler that daveb once pointed us to, that was free, and apprently very good. If this is it, feel free to shoot me in a foot of your choice.

The best compiler... and workspace organizer IMO is MS Visual C++... but we all can't be as rich as I am :)

Introduction isn't free, just cheaper. Normal C++ is around $100. Introductory is ~$50 w/ a big booklet on learning the MFC and C++ basics

it was a comand line thing, you have to have a fairly good understanding of what you are doing to use it, unlike MSVC were any idiot (such as myself) can take some source and compile it

Ah. So, why not use that one? :)

becase I would need to rewrite a bunch of the code in ways I cannot even begin to comprehend
