    Hi there, I wonder if there is a limit for IconSet filesize, widht - height or number of icon for the rpg maker mz?
    Currently I have 4k+ number of icons. Maybe it will increase a lot since I will add more equipment icons

    I don't think there is a hard limit from the engine but a memory limit with your computer. I haven't checked myself, however I have seen icon sets back in the day with at least 3,000 or more icons.

    Please keep in mind that the database has limits to the number of items, weapons, armor, and states. I think that is 2,000 for each for a grand total of 8,000, so I guess you can get away with having 8,000 icons in your sheet if you are determined.

    Ah I see, I will add a lot of icon but i won't add icon more than 8000. Glad someone replying to my question. Thankyou so much :wink:

    yes, there is one
    because there is a limit on how large a picture can be cached under pixi.js all icons will turn black if the iconsheet is larger than that limit.

    it is possible to increase that limit if you believe your computer's RAM cn handle larger pictures, but that will result in error messages if you run the game on computers that do not have the RAM to handle the increased values.
