maximum number of crons?

I couldn't find it in the bible -_-

does anyone know what the maximum number of crons you can have in the game?

It's mentioned partway through this thread.

Do you know what the maximum number of strings is?

There's no maximum limit per se on the number of strings. But there are three things that could cause a string count limitation; 1) the maximum of 1,000 mďsn resources (which you already found out about); 2) there's a maximum of 16 simultaneous active missions; and 3) theoretically the maximum number of NCBs (10,000) could conceivably limit string count, but that's highly unlikely since even Nova only uses less that 6% of the NCBs available.

On the other hand, if you're referring to the "STR#" or "STR " resource types, then the answer is 32639, numbered 128-32767.

Thanks Edwards!

Also, a 'STR ' resource can only hold a string of at most 255 chars (an old Pascal string limitation, yes I did say Pascal, it's the language with which the Mac was meant to be programmed at first); 'STR#' strings are also limited to 255 chars, and there can "only" be 65535 strings in one 'STR#' resource.
