Im sorry but I am getting tired of the engine limitations

Chrono:
1547 is no where near 4096.

If I recall correctly, the projectile limit has to do with the packet rate. They got limited to 200 (and no, it's not just projectiles either) because moving any faster sends too many updates (for collision checking and such). Then you add in the really projectile spammy weapons, 32 of them, all shooting at each other, you'll start getting that 'ghosting' thing at the bottom. It should be fixed, yes, I won't disagree with that.

* We can't have more than 20 stinking vehicles..this isn't a lot Badspot (this limits racing servers to only 20 players)

This is not an engine limitation.

* We have handicapped vehicle and sometimes brick physics

They're fine in my opinion.

* baseplates/bricks stay floating in the air after the rest of the bricks supporting them have been fakekilled/blown up
--- End quote ---

This is a projectile/explosion setting, go complain to the add-on maker.

* As for vehicle physics...hell...everyone knows whats wrong with this, there's no point in trying to fortify your base/fort from incoming attackers because guess what, they can just a drive a car through it, nifty isnt it? You can also fly off into space like Team Rocket simply by hitting a brick a certain way.

I'm pretty sure a higher framerate would fix that though.

* We probably have the slowest moving projectiles in the entire gaming world, so much for making a fast paced FPS server when the game can't even keep up with your sensitivity or high DPI
--- End quote ---

There are several ways to make fast moving projectiles.

* (this one is a shocker) We have a static shape limit too, apparently I can't add more than 6 static shapes in my elevator (Xalo's Elevator addon, is this a limit he set?)
--- End quote ---

I had about 1730 static shapes on my server yesterday. What are you talking about?

* Im not really sure about this one either but I remember a while ago there was some kind of limit that explosions could not be spawned on multiplayer servers or if they can there is a very limited amount as to how many can be (is this why the C4 uses the rocket launcher projectile rather than an actual explosion?)
--- End quote ---

This makes no sense. The reason the C4 uses the rocket launcher projectile is because the creator was lazy.

* We have a Datablock limit (werent expecting this one were you?) You can reach the limit just by downloading the T+T Pack, Frog's Weaponry and then maybe a couple more add-ons or Music files.

If you reach the datablock limit then you have too many add-ons.
Sylvanor:
The only limit that i loving hate and that can make me quit the game is the brick limit. The limit should be what i can handle. (people will say GNGNGN not everyone can handle 300k and all and all, id care).
Bisjac:
sounds more like OP dosnt build things.
i mean when you play a building game to not build, you sure would see why things arent very fun for ya lol

If you haven't read my previous posts (in the gallery or even some in the general discussions) I have been saying I have started making a Secret Labs, however I was stuck when searching for an elevator addon. I am using Xalo's Elevators (I luv u) now which means I can continue building.

So I see most the issues are not engine limitations but packet limitations? Does Blockland require high packets or are they pretty low right now?

As for the brick limit, I want that raised but loading up Slyvanor's city which is basically 1 brick less than the limit, with shaders gives me about 20FPS. I don't think my PC would be able to handle anymore (yet I bought a $300 videocard with 3GB of VRAM...) what video card do you have btw? (OffTopic Ik)
