Increase MAX_DRAWIMAGES limit

[scoqx]

New emoji assets have been added for OSP2/OSP2-BE mods, requiring a higher limit for images drawn on the client side.

Should use a texture atlas to avoid too many images, no?

No, we also added animated emojis, using shader animMap

But using an atlas is a good idea. However, we'd need to remake everything. The easy way is to increase the limit in the engine. If that causes a problem, I'll understand

It's probably fine but the more limits you increase the more you make the source port hardware creep on requirements that being able to still run on older rigs takes more ram etc

I see your point, but doesn't the hardware load depend directly on the actual number of loaded textures, not the limit itself? Right now, the client just crashes. If we raise the limit, vanilla users on older rigs won't see any difference because their asset count stays the same. It just opens up possibilities for heavy mods, leaving the resource management to the players' hardware

As it always happens - noone will optimize their code after that because 'just works' on current engine.
Consider optimizing your code

I said "easy" because we did all the work with emojis and when test we had the error message... didn't notice there's limitation. But okey, thanks for repsonse

Are they all animated or just some

just some. About 30 emojis
I'll make it right, with image-atlases
