hope this is the right place to post, hehe

but anyway, so I spend like all day yesterday redoing my database being anal about ID numbers and orginizing them up to a way I want them, only about 427 or so mobs in my database now but in the way I'm numbering ID's I got like east common mobs in the 401000 range of ID's.

well anyway long story short I go to start boot5zones.bat and I get error
Error: EMuShareMem: pDLLLoadNPCTypes: iMaxNPCTypeID > MMF_MAX_NPCTYPE_ID
You need to increase the define in NPCTypes.h.
[Error] Loading npcs FAILED!

so I take a look there and I see the max is set for 200000 well jeez that's a hell of alot smaller, esp since my numbers, with the way I was planning to do this for all zones and expansions would probably end up hitting over a million, each zone gets a range of 1000, each expansion prefixed by a number.

main question is, what kind of, if any side effects will I see by setting this number to some super high value even though I don't have that many npc's in the database, just numbers going real high?
