Allegro Artwork Filename Length

dschaefer

 What is the maximum length of Allegro artwork filenames ? Are there reserved characters ?

 Is the length controllable ?

    Dave,

    It used to be 18 characters max.  Not sure about the restricted characters, but probably follow the rest of the Allegro app and also you would need to be careful about the OS dependencies.  As for controlling the length, I don’t think there is a variable you can set to control the length.  If your game, you could always develop your own artwork interface in Skill (with built-in limits) and overload the artwork command with your own.

    Regards,
