I have just been looking through the documentation on checklist for object limbs, because I am writing a map parser for a dbo object created in 3dws, which has point objects and non-collidable brushes etc represented as limbs which I need to iterate through one-by-one. The checklist says its maximum number of items is 255, so what if your model has more than 255 limbs which is not hard to do on a modern p.c?

yeah you would have thought that they would have just used a linked list that could expand/shrink as needed!

You can always store the 255 pieces of data into an array and then reset the checklist and begin checking again, youve still got the data but now its neatly organized into an array.

EDIT: OK I have just realised I can use dbLimbExist & dbLimbName instead of using the checklist stuff
Thanks for the input anyway guys.

In DBP even though it says that, it is not limited to that.

Oh right ok, the help system! yeah I have found quite a few typos etc in there, makes it hard when the help system doesn't tell you the truth though. But we have the updated help and upgrade coming soon still good work on the SDK TGC I like what I have seen so far.
