Some way to break 20 pictures limit/cap Options

[irbis]

Anybody heard about something like that?
basicly in VX you can show pictures with number 0-20 only.
Is it hardcoded or there is a way around it? i was looking in the Script Editor checking values but i havent found anything usefull in this case.
Google left me with some rubish too.
so maybe you guys have an idea or clue how to fix this?

Yes, it's hard coded. You can bypass the limit but only in scripts, not in the editor. To do that, go in the Spriteset_Map script section and find this:

CODE

  def create_pictures
    @picture_sprites = []
    for i in 1..20
      @picture_sprites.push(Sprite_Picture.new(@viewport2,
        $game_map.screen.pictures[i]))
    end
  end

Replace the 20 with another number. Then you'll be able to use a Call Script command to display pictures with a number superior to 20. Like this (I used 21 as an example)::

CODE

$game_map.screen.pictures[21].show(name, origin, x, y, zoom_x, zoom_y, opacity, blend_type)

Everything is self-explanatory except maybe the origin: it's 0 or 1. 0 is the top-left part of the screen and 1 the center.
