32768 things

my tests. If anybody wants it (or the wad) I'll put it online.
It's fun to feed it to BSP & PrBoom. The 50000-long linedefs are
not rendered at all and the projectiles go through the walls. <g>

I remember, way back in the day, DOOM.EXE having quite a low limit there,
such that occasionally you'd hit a level designed by a mad overdecorator
[1] where monsters and projectiles occasionally disappeared from vision.
[1] ... who can now do whatever they like - come back, original engine
limits, all is forgiven.

If we aren't perfectly synchronised this corncob will explode!

I would be interested to see the code. I've written ugly programs for
test map generation and would enjoy seeing how to do it better ;)

64 sprites at once, I think it was.

I veer between "never play anything made after the late 90s/early 00s
because it's bound to be crap" and "there are occasionally good things
made now but you have to stumble upon them".

Or possibly worse. ;-)

As a bonus, you get a 32768-vertex, 32768-linedef, 1-sector map.
To my surprise, it can be played. I thought the lack of free
vertices for the nodes would hurt more.

Do you have any examples of good and bad that work on PrBoom ?
I haven't been following very closely lately.

128, says the Wiki, so you have to be really taking the mickey to get over
it.

The other difficulty besides linesoup (and I'm sorry, I know I've
complained about this before) is everything being done by people who have
played Doom solidly since '93 for the benefit of same, with lower
difficulty levels implemented shonkily at best. I'm sure I'm a worse
player than in '98 or so - why wouldn't I be when I dust the game off
every three months for nostalgia?

Clown shoes. I hope that doesn't bother you.
