Inventory spots not unlimited
   

I thought that I read here that you could store unlimited items in your inventory (but I can't find that thread to post it in, so I started a new one). Of course, your party would subject to encumberance penalties for being overloaded. But this is not true! I have encountered an inventory full message. (Yes my party is way overloaded, but I should be able to sell a lot of it off soon.)

Pretty sure it's 255 slots max. They had to put some kind of limit on the size of the array and probably figured no sane person would need more slots than that.

Yea...255 or 256...those are both common limits due to memory architecture. That's a lot of inventory though, I don't think my party could even carry all of that with ALL their carrying capacity.

Memory architecture has nothing to do with it It's just a nice round number, and you can index the array with a byte, which is hardly of any real consequence

Anyway, okay, it may have something to do with byte alignment, but that's not memory architecture, either. Memory architecture is the reason we have the 640k base memory limitation.

At the time, my strongest characters had carrying capacities of 300+. They were seriously encumbered by having 400+. And it wasn't that I had tons of "useful" stuff. The Rapax fights give you tons of katanas and kabutos, and I was just trying to fight my way to Ferro to sell off my excess inventory.
