Can't have more than 15 sides.

I just added a new unit to Com Shooter...

However, it seems the side menu can't show more than 15 sides.

Since not everyone has a huge screen resolution, my suggested fix would be to add a scroll bar of some sort, unless there's some workaround using majik LUA script...

tasserver issue iirc

As far as I can tell this is because there arent enough bits assigned to the factions in TASServer to support more than 15 values.

However this does not explain why only 15 factions are listed. A 16 and 17th value should be possible, even though 16 and 17 are truncated and become a value between 0 and 15. So you should have all of your factions there even if not all of them can be selected.

Actually that would be a worse bug then it is now: showing something and then not supporting it after all is deceiving users; not showing the unsupported factions at all is just having a hard limit.

we have 4 free bits in the bitfield immediately after the initial 4 allocated for 15 sides

so we can use them and have 255 max sides

It would allow us to use all the factions for single player games, and telling the user they can only use the first so many factions in multiplayer would fix the other issue.

Eitherway gah bitfields

Lobby can differentiate between SP and MP, so it could allow more in SP

1. Is Crappage still around?
2. Does Com SHooter still work with the latest Spring?
