Line Limits
There is a game engine limit of 256 (0-255) lines in baseitems.2da. It is recommended to reuse "reserved" lines for new ones. One problem with going over 255 lines is that the base item type TLK identifier will not be loaded correctly, such as in this example:. In a MP game it might just not even appear properly for players, so do not use lines higher than 255.
