I get this error message i try to add 5 or more NEW wallsets. The game crashes when you try to compile the dungeon. I have duplicated this problem in Labyrinth.txt by copying one of the new wallsets. As soon as the 5th new wallset is added, this error message appears. (I have added the exact lines I added below for convenience)

Ah yes, you're hitting a hardcoded limit in the memory used by wallsets. I've upped this now for V0.37 to about 500 (the exact number depends on the bitmaps it uses) - should be more than enough for anyone...

A year from now this will be quoted somewhere...

Yes, it is asking for trouble really isn't it...
