After preforming some rather extensive testing, I was unable to find an upper limit on the number of items in an object's inventory.

It seems like the llGetInventory* functions dont seem to mind the large number either.

Should I worry about this? The library plans on using object's contents as a storage facility, and would really hate dataloss.

So, LL, what is the limit?

I think there might be some speed issues with editing (ie wait a min for the contents to load).

It is *unbelievably* painful to work with an object that has more inventory items than will fit on a single screen - unless my computer is just misbehaving.

I built something and dropped about 60 scripts in it. Each one needed one number changed in it, and the roundtrip for changing each one was about 10 seconds. Double-click, edit, save, pause, wait for the dialog to refresh, wait the extra 5 seconds or so that if you skip and double-click the next script you get a blank - or the dialog scrolls for you and you end up editing the wrong one...

I was even ending up with scripts that were "dead" - no amount of clicking the reset button would put them into *any* of my states.

That was yesterday. And that's why I'm home today instead of at the cottage where I should have been last night.

I think someone found the upper limit to be 255. Were you able to get past that?

Cory's responce to an IM asking him about this:

From: someone

Cory Linden:
I don't think that there is currently a limit, but it is possible that we may add one someday.

Weee... I can only stare blankly in astonishment at the thought of the dataloss that may be possible if we went forward with the "infinite # of contents" mindset.

3030, that's scary. I don't think I've gone much above 200...

Yikes, that is like 47megs of storage....

Christopher,

Did you add those one by one? How did you add that many items in the first place? How did you get them all in?

I filled a folder in my inventory with about 20 notecards, and kept dropping the folder into the object.

I had a little object
filled with notecards to the brim
And every time I rezzed it
my computer would get dim

Then I tried to texture it
but the damn thing zipped away
'Cause I accidently touched it
on the vertical array.

Now I've lost my object
and in it all my cards
So now my little project
is lost in someone's yard.

Thanks Wednesday! I'll bug you in-world to claim my prize!

I was feeling rather silly while reading this thread (thread wasn't silly, I was).

Limit on number of items in inventory?
