TLR the biggest part are the Alexandria levels I think (Alexandria, Coastal Ruins, Catacombs, Temple of Poseidon, The lost library, Halls of Demetrius, Pharos - Temple of Isis, Cleopatras palaces). Is 8 levels the limit or even more? ------------------ Download my projects: Levels: Search in Venice! Tools: BmpToRaw 2 Skies: Star sky IP: Logged

So you can use in 1 level (the level where lara goes to, not the one she leaves) the ocb code only once. The ocb code is uses 16 bits in the level file, that makes a total of 65536 per level. However, that number must also be stored in the finish trigger (in the timer field). The timer field uses only 9 bits so you can only use 512 differend codes in a level. I don't know what the maximum number of levels it, but it will look like this: So that will be 512*MaxNumberOfLevels Unless core builded a maximum in, but this looks like it if you look at the file format.
