IDE - Sizelimit of Sourcecode

Archives Forums/Blitz3D Bug Reports/IDE - Sizelimit of Sourcecode

Hi, i know it's probably a bad programming style but unfortunately my source code has now a file size of 1049721 bytes in a file. I program since 2004, an extended tools collection. When I load the source-code-file in the IDE Bltz3d I canīt edit the source code anymore. Is this a bug or a limit with which I have to live? Or is there a way to circumvent this limit? My operating system is Windows 7. Kind regards Marc Herda Last edited 2011 Last edited 2011

Have you tried using include files?

I think there is a point at which the IDE breaks, but it's somewhere around 20mb. I wrote a nonsense-code generator once for a joke, and I think it got to 20mb before killing the IDE. Maybe it depends on your PC. Do what Matt says - split up your code into several files, and use Include.

Thanks for the fast answers. I have thought on that, too. And I think I'll probably do now that way. This sould be work. But i had hope I can do something to screw on the IDE. Another solution is an alternae IDE. But they are for my opinion not so clear or overloaded.
