Object type bit shift too large...

I seem to be making a lot of forum posts at the moment.

Anyway.

I was implementing a resource which involved adding a new object type. So I did the usual thing in objectTypes.h. However, when I compiled, I got a large number of errors saying
Quote:warning C4293: '<<' : shift count negative or too big, undefined behavior
I went back, and saw that the most recent object I had added was defined as BIT(32). Obviously that's too large.
So is that it? Can I no longer add any resources that need a new object type? Are there ways around this? I'm going to remove the AtlasObjectType (with shameful plug for TSE), which will give me this last bit I need, but I'm worried for the future...

If you look thru the list there should be a number of free slots available that aren't covered by an existing object type.

Not in my copy of the engine - the only free bit I found was 21.

Shapebase declares a few masks that you probably don't need (like cloaking, repair, etc). You can also look into consolidating multiple masks into one.

I don't think the problem is in the masks - it's in the object type definitions. Like ProjectileObjectType, ShapeBaseObjectType, DamageableObjectType, TerrainObjectType, etc. Masks aren't a problem (yet...).
Anyway, I got rid of AtlasObjectType (shame on the programmers...), so I have one free mask left.
