About the character limit...

Life gives you lemons~
Before I start, I just want to say that I'm grateful for the deep library of custom characters for Kart and Ring Racers. But I just want to know, why is there a character limit for both games? Is it just a Freeslot thing? Could the game not handle so many characters? Is there a risk of conflict if we raised the character limit? I know that characters takes up sounds on the Sound Freeslots, but can they be played like, on the skin itself? (It sounds stupid but what gives) So what to you guys think if we remove (or at least raise) the Character Freeslot.

yeah id imagine its a "freeslot" limit of sorts, since skins are indexed with numbers, so thats why kart and drrr have 255 skins available. srb2 only has 32 right now
 
Ohhhhhhhh that explains why I've stopped seeing some characters in games. I just load in too many of em. Time to be selective of what I load up I guess
 
Last I checked, the number literally cannot exceed 255, as trying to raise the skin count any higher would actually break the game. I'm not much into coding, so I couldn't tell you what breaks and how bad it can get, just that its critical enough that it is unlikely to go any higher.
