Damn Enterbrain, putting those pesky limits on us again! >:/ Well this nifty script breaks just about every limit that they set on us again.
Warning! Its not my fault if your data gets corrupted in anyway of form, though its highly unlikely as this was tested with some pretty high numbers. Still, its important to backup your data first.

Author's Notes

Enjoy!

So, I'm a little confused.
I go into the config section and set Armors to 2000, because I need more armor, and... nothing happens? Tried running the game, got a message that read "Done," and... nothing. Database limit still 999.

Am I missing something?

Still broken? Not doing anything for me either, and I removed the =begin and =end...

EDIT: Worked, although it produced one less than the amount I entered. You need to refresh though.


EDIT2: Also, for some reason, it treats all undefined entries as a single entry. Change one and you change them all...

The game doesn't seem to read items past 999 in the database for some reason. I think this might be a hardcoded limitation of the .rvdata2 format, though strangely it seems only items are affected...


EDIT: Furthermore, it crashes the debug menu if you try to change it manually...

The affected block:

Code: [Select]

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # change_switch_colour
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def change_variable_colour(index)
    id = @list[index][:ext]
    enabled = $data_system.variables[id] != ""
    colour = $game_variables[id] != 0 ? crisis_color : normal_color
    if $game_variables[id] != 0 && $data_system.variables[id] == ""
      colour = knockout_color
      enabled = true
    end
    change_color(colour, enabled)
  end
