[SM] [GFX] maximum GFX/color/table size

[A_red_monk_called_Key]

does anybody know what the maximum GFX, color palette, and tile table sizes are? i don't know how the compressed data works so i have no idea how to max out the size.

I'm pretty sure SMILE is smart enough to warn you if you're about to go over, I know this is definitely true on palettes. My usual not-exactly-sure answer :(

i wont be available to repoint if limit is reached.

the largest size for a palette is $201 bytes, but that would only happen if every single color was random and there were no patterns at all.
As for tables and tiles, I have no idea.

$47FF is the max for area graphics. Table I'm not sure. Might be $1FFF.

thank you Scyzer thank you DSO thank you JAM. these numbers will help, i'll try to get close or go over $1FFF on the table, now that i have an idea of how big it could be.

I'm sorry, but if we are talking about palette of 8 rows (like all tilesets have), then max is $103 (259) bytes. $100 bytes for all palettes (2 bytes per color) and 3 more bytes for compression operators. So, it's not $201.

$47FF is the max for area graphics. Table I'm not sure. Might be $1FFF.

That's almost right, but you forgot about compression operators.
$4800 for graphics and $2000 is true for uncompressed form.
For compressed form, max is $4825 bytes for graphics and $2011 bytes for the tiletable.
