Polyobject Error

What does this mean?

SpawnPolyobj: psIndex > PO_MAXPOLYSEGS

There is a limit of 64 segs per polyobject. Congratulations on being the first person who needs more!

By now one could be excused for thinking I'm trying to break ZDoom. :\

I still think LWM should change her title to "Finds creative ways to crash and hang ZDoom".

its time for randy to get of his couch (XD) and make a way to add more, and what does that mean any way, does that mean you can only have 64 polys?

I can only guess a polyobj which has more than 64 linedefs?

64 segs, not linedefs. Depending on the surrounding geometry this might mean less than 64 linedefs. And it's only for polyobjects defined with Polyobj_ExplicitLine. But I'm wondering. This should be easily replacable with a dynamic array to get rid of the limit, right?

I have no idea what a seg is.

A lot less. :( I trimmed my polyobj down to 22 lindefs (far beyond the point of "why bother?"), but it still spits the error out at me.

I'd be grateful if there was a work around. Normally I'd just find a way to work within the limits (Subvert and Pervert!) but this case I can't acceptably. :(

i'd do it right now if i hadnt had a cycling accident today. but im barely able to type right now.

the change itself is trivial.

Don’t worry, your part of the doom community, you will heal fast. (Stupid slow healing CS community)

Stupid? More like lucky. No more noobs for a while.
