    Welcome to the forum, DiabloLegend!

    Now, I haven't tried to make any new backgrounds, but I did take a look at what was done for Car-Arcanum, and ChrisBeddoes stopped at 399 in the effect.mes.

    Based solely on that, I'll hazard a guess and say there's the limit.

    If anyone knows differently, please speak up!

    Resetting the EXP level required a change in the Arcanum.exe. Resetting the effects limits would probably need similar action.

    Code to Arcanum is still not for public view? So it means that again we need hack the Arcanum.exe to destroy this limits? Shit! Anyway I found some toturials on java.sun how to read binary files by using some java classes :) So it will be possible for me make some editor to pro files in Arcanum.
