Total Posts: 235 | ok I'm making an RPG game with a friend and have the program broken up into 21 different files so that i didn't have to use goto/lbl's (which slow down prgms) but will anyone actully use it if it's that big? I mean I would send it as a group but still 21 files possibly more by the end?!?!
Please someone tell me what to do? how can I paste it into one huge progrsm with out messing every thing up?

Of course, for the ease of the user, you probably should place the files into a single group (as you have already stated). :) |

Total Posts: 235 | Cool I will try to combine some of the smaller files b/c lables won't slow down the program if the file the lbl/goto is in is small :)

Total Posts: 24 | programs that use more than 10 files really repell me, even if they are good. combining files may slow down the program (i'm not sure how much), but it drastically reduces clutter. also, the extra files usually have to become un-archived, which could become a problem in the case of the unexpected ram clear... |

Edit | I think that is an acceptable amount, Heck check out Reign of Legends 3, it has a whole lot more... |

Total Posts: 24 | does reign of legends allow the extra files to be run while they are archived? if so, i have no problem with multiple-file programs. |

@L: Its soooooooo easy. A quick _chkfindsym to get the page and then a search for the name, offset 9 bytes for size and other miscellaneous bytes, and bingo: points straight at the program, ready for parsing.
