[GoldSource] Extending some engine limits

[Arkshine]

Same kind of request as #1268 but for others limits.
It would be a good opportunity to slightly increase some max values.

Proposed limits are based on http://code.google.com/p/sing-engine/.
Relevant limits and value would be :

• MAX_MODELS 1024 (default: 512)
• MAX_SOUNDS 1024 (default: 512)
• MAX_BEAMS 256 (default: 64)
• MAX_TEMPENTS 1024 (default 500)
• MAX_MAP_MODELS 512 (default: 256)
• MAX_MAP_LEAFS 16384 (default: 8192)

I think it's fair values. Of course higher values are welcomed (like Sing) but as it is it would be already really useful and awesome.

It will contribute to make everyone happy : the mappers would be able to do better maps (larger/more detailed/etc..), the coders will have more room to do custom stuffs, the admins will see their servers crashing less often, and the players will see their gaming experience improving.

Thanks for considering those changes, which are, I think, quite reasonable and realizable.

This update is a must.

I'm agree with you Arkshine.

Also, I would like to increase motd length limit.

This would definitely improve CS gameplay at all, including @Neeeeeeeeeel suggestion (which also disturbs), one of the most things that hates CS editors (mappers, scripters, etc.) are that many things are limited by hardcoded values.

CS doesn't need small values for those things, the entire computing world has grown and CS should do it too.

[Arkshine]

If I remember the motd limit would be 1536 characters. Not sure why this limit specifically, it must be have an explanation. Even though you can link to an external file (but requiring file to be hosted), increasing the buffer would be definitively useful, especially when you use HTML code.

+1 this would be awesome for HL1 mods too (Considering some are still being developed, they could definitely increase limits).

[Neeeeeeeeeel]

Also, would be good to increment hud's channels num.

If we are redirected here, it means it is going to happen? If yes, when?

[Arkshine]

Not necessarily. That's something it would need to be checked first. Also asking "when" at this point is irrelevant.

[Chill-it-BanG]

I hope these limits will be extended, can`t wait for it! Thumbs up :)

[dystopm]

@Neeeeeeeeeel suggested something that would help too, increase the hud channels for the tempentity message TE_TEXTMESSAGE which is limmited to 4. A higher value would contribute a lot!

Would be nice !

• Added "edicts" option to liblist.gam file, for use in mods that want more than 900 entities in their maps
• Increased supported entity count in Counter-Strike 1.6 to 1800

Thank you!

Incrase MAX_MAP_MODELS to 900-1000
