[RESOLVED] Custom Menus - Limit of 100?

[stigzler]

Guess this is mainly aimed @Tom Speirs and @headkaze.... I know they're just pootling around kicking their heels at the moment with not much to do.

So, my CustomLists plugin leverages GameEx's CustomMenus and favourites systems.

It creates folders for each Custom List. I see from the CustomMenu.ini that there's a limit of 100 folders:

# The following sections allow you to choose which items to show and where.
# Each of the following sections is a menu  (list in GameEx). [Root] is shown first when starting GameEx
# Sub Menus are in Sections [MENU_[0-100][ eg. [MENU_2]
# Create new sections if required.
# The First item in a section should be Title to specify the title text to be shown

My worry is that this may seriously restrict the number of CustomLists that can be made (below 100 at best, I think in reality with other folders and menus to around 70). 

Is there anyway to increase this? I did test it out with:

[ROOT]
TITLE=Last PLayed 
Item_1=-1,TestFolder,101,themes

[MENU_101]
TITLE=TEST FOLDER 
Item_1=4,TstFolderSubItem,0,themes

But no joy - didn't work. I know GameEx sees these custom menus as 3200 + the CustomMenu number. Guessing there's no pre-set pages above 3301, so wondering why there's an arbitrary limit of 100? Sure there's a rationale I don't know about. 

Anywhoos - if it's possible and an easy fix - be great if the number of menus could be extended.

Hey buddy,

It is just hard coded at a 100. No particular reason for it. I will extend it for the next release.

Cheers.

Tom.

Nice one Tom. Thanks fella. Happy its an easy fix.

[Tom Speirs]

I just checked this. In GameEx itself it is actually 300 items with what seems to be unlimited sub menus. Is that enough?

[Tom Speirs]

Sorry, it is actually is a limit of 100 sub menus. I will extend it

[Tom Speirs]

Okay, its 300 for the next release.

Cheers Tom. Hope it wasn't too much hassle.
