Data files, text or otherwise, will not count against you. However for speed I recommend you use savefiles and use some sort of savefile editor, or data stored in the map. savefile/ImportText() is very slow. I think he meant if, say I made my code in DM. Then I compiled it to make sure there were no errors. Then I cut it from the dm file, pasted it in notepad, then put a
#include "othercode.txt"

It's the 8k challenge. By the time you're done, you're supposed to submit the ugliest, most un-usable, most un-maintainable code ever. :P VICTORY IS MINE! | |

Actually, that does work. It will even compile the data in the textfiles. So do non-formatted text files get added to th size limit? Hiead | |

Although I don't believe anybody ever articulated "no putting code in a plain text file" as a specific example, the "all executable code must be in your DM files" rule has been a staple of these microcoding contests from the beginning.
