Is there a limit to how many tags you can have?

[hardcore_gamer]

Perhaps this is a silly question but is there a limit to how many thing/linedef/sector specials/tags you can have? I am making a large map and am currently on tag 100. Is there any limit or is it so high it doesn't matter?

Practically no limit, you can have thousands of tags. There are two bytes to store sector tag in vanilla Doom, so you have 65536 tag values available (including 0).

 

Except in vanilla Hexen, where you have a limit of 64 tagged lines (but line tagging uses a weird system in Hexen, where you have to use the Line_SetID special) and a maximum of 200 tagged things.
