I currently have a scene which uses a number of closeup layers (, each layer is programmtically called, into an active state, theres is never more than one active layer in play.

Once I add the eighth layer- a close up layer become active on scene load.  I have specifically de-activated that layer in the scene init script.

Having experimented by re-creating layers that does not address the probem, having also experimented by changing the order of the layers in the scene editor, that has had the consequence of stopping the scene from functioning at all.

I can see two potential causes,

1. There is a finite number of layers the engine can cope with in a scene
2. I have a corrupt scene file

any thoughts

There is definitely no hardcoded limit on number of layers. Can you provide some simple demo (with sources) exhibiting the problem?

[eborr]

do you just need the scene file - I will have to rebuild it to try to re-create the problem.  I used a workaround of creating other "scene" files as sub-scenes and that works fine.

It will probably take me a day or so to rebuild it -

how shall I send it to you ?

[Mnemonic]

Something that can be executed without me tinkering with it for an hour would be nice Ideally upload it somewhere and send me a link, or send it by mail if you don't have a webspace available. Thanks.

I managed to work around the problem by creating another couple of scenes and that works fine, I tried to reproduce the error by adding some additional layers and they appeared to work ok, so the thing is a bit of a mystery. I can't see much point in sending you code that works(at least by my standards) many thanks fro the offer.
