does anyone have a clue what the limits are for Messages.tbl?  i cant find them either messages.tbl or in Engine limitations

Well, I know that before it counted towards the message limit as well as the messages in missions, but I think something was bumped since I was able to add a whole load of new personas with all of the messages (for personal use) and have no ill effects - was it made dynamic sometime?

So, unless you're going to add several truckloads of new messages in there, you should be fine. But it would be nice to know what the limit was, if any.

There are no limits on the number of messages allowed anywhere (other than available memory).  The limits were removed in build 5426, which was committed July 11th, 2009.

There may actually be a limit on the number of sounds which can be loaded into memory though. The game tends to load the whole messages.tbl into memory so that there is no delay playing those sounds. When BtRL had a message table + mission messages that added up to more than 500 messages we ended up getting text to speech sounds for the extras sometimes.

That bug was fixed but I think it just amounted to a bump of the number of sounds loaded. So it could still be around.
