    explosivepowder: if you need that much text you should either shorten it, put all the text on the forums and put a forum link sign, or use a texter script to write it out like in this save. The sign and char limits are bigger than ever and won't be changed. Also It has nothing to do with how much space they take up?? I never said they took up gigabytes, I was just giving an extreme example of why they needed a limit at *some* amount. Each character in a sign is just one byte.

    DoritosTaco: yeah, that's what I can thinking... I don't even know how it's possible to dedicate gigabytes of memory to a few characters on a sign...

    IKR! These take gigabytes when at huge chars, acording to jacob... Sooo... Yeaaah... If huge chars refers to 1000 chars... Im pretty sure thats quite inefficient.

    no,in fact, they should take between 5-25 BYTES per sign

    actually, if they are any like text programs signs shouldnt take up any more than a kilobytes/ half a kilobyte

    Jacob: Could you perhapse bring back big sign rendering? SEriusly. IT ruined my tlacktuan save completly! Now how am I suppose to give a detailed description of 5 celestial bodies?! THE SIGN LIMIT AND CHAR LIMIT WON'T LET IT!!! Please. Just. please. Bring back bigger signs. I understand the gigabyte of signs number... Its just...IF THEY TAKE UP THAT MUCH SPACE IN A SAVE, THEY NEED TO BECOME WAY MORE EFFICIENT AT DOING WHAT THEY DO!

    explosivepowder: that sounds like an SDL issue. Also maybe. In the most recent version of my mod I made it so that clicking it would copy the hex value, I didn't allow editing it though. If I do anything, it would probably just bring up an input window where you can type it in (but dunno, just convert it to RGBA :P)

    explosivepowder: Yeah, but for now you can ony enter the color code thingy for RGB...
