Increase Upgrade limits to improve mods and map making

[DrGoldFish1]

When making maps or mods and you want to add extra upgrades units then you can go up to 5 upgrades.
After the limit has been reached no more upgrades can be added to those units.

So if you build an crusader you can build 3 drones and upgrade composite armour and advance training but if you now want to add an extra upgrade to let say improve the movement speed you wont be able to do so. Limiting the mods builders and map makers.

If we add this feature then we should also find a way to showcase these extra upgrades in the gui.

You mean only the Cameo Image in the bottom right?

Because I have a Paladin with

• NuclearTanks
• UraniumShells
• JunkRepair
• AdvancedTraining
• CompositeArmor
• ScoutDrone
• A Commandsetupgrade

and everything works fine. Or is there an actual limit per object?

The most problematic limit modders need to work around is the hardcoded 128 global limit (#define UPGRADE_MAX_COUNT 128 in Upgrade.h)

The Cameos are a minor problem, defined in ThingTempale.h: MAX_UPGRADE_CAMEO_UPGRADES = 5

Visually, it requires the windows to be restructured, so we can actually display more than 5 upgrades.
Ideally, it would dynamically show the normal windows, if upgrade count is <= 5 and a window with smaller images and more space for extra upgrades, so the visual change only affects mods.
