55 Faction Limit?

I seem to recall reading somewhere that someone had hit a limit of 50 or so total factions for a mod (Epic?).

If whoever that was reads this, try the following.

Open iwar2.dll with a hex editor, go to offset 046F4E (VA=10046F4D). Change 37 (55) to 64 (100) - this *might* be responsible for that limit.

Hi Stone,
Have you tried it out? Does the game still run? If it did work (and that would be a great thing) I wonder where the faction setup would get the values for the extra factions?

Looking forward to getting home tonight to try this out.

Sorry, haven't tried it because I haven't even looked into POGging (new term coined, perchance? , never mind come up with a large number of factions!

BTW, was that right? 55ish? Couldn't find the post where I got that figure from... could have been atari. Heh, been reading ALOT over the past couple of days.

What values do you mean?
