IMG & Stream Limit Adjuster 2.0

This open source ASI plugin adjusts amount of IMG archives possible to load.
By default GTA San Andreas is able to load max of 8 archives (3 standard archives gta3.img, gta_int.img, player.img and 5 archives defined within default.dat or gta.dat)
It`s very inconvenient when making total conversion. More IMG archives means better organization.
Not only IMG limit is hacked - stream limit had to be hacked either.

Now limit is:
MAX_NUMBER_OF_IMG_ARCHIVES = 350;
MAX_NUMBER_OF_STREAM_HANDLES = 400;

It should be sufficient for anyone.

Works with GTA San Andreas v1.0 [US] HOODLUM No-CD Fixed EXE

I think such a limit is a bit overkill. Still, nice job. I can't believe you use Delphi

Damn yeah, fastman solved the IMG limit! Big thanks for this..

Q:
Will it override any memory hack done by cleo (cleo is doing things later; while game is loading, right?), or is it that cleo could override any memory hack provided by your plugin? can/should we adjust the value according to how much RAM is installed or is there a magic amount of memory you have specified?

No. ASI plugin allocates memory and moves all pointers leading to _imgs, _streamHandles and _streamNames. You`re asking very stupid question. If it was the case i would mention in Readme.

You`re asking very stupid question.

Thanks, you're welcome.
So I suppose this plugin does not adjust the amount of stream memory (like sala) and I can continue to use any value for memory limit via cleo. Thanks.

It`s not streaming memory, this plugin adjusts limit of stream handles, it`s something different.
Stream handle - handle to file e.g handle to AUDIO\SFX\SPC_EA
