Remove Limit on ConversationID's

Is there any chance this limit could be removed, or the range expanded to [0,999] perhaps?

Cheers.

Why? Do you really need that many?

Yes. It's not so much the fact that there are hundreds of people to talk to, it's more that each one has one or more options that gives a player an item with a conversationID to activate a script. I've already comfortably gone through 100, and I'm only getting warmed up...

Just to inform you, I modified your Wiki page to use a better method to link dialogs with ACS. You may want to consider it because your looping ACS scripts are rather inefficient and can cause performance issues if there are too many. Inventory functions are not particularly cheap and calling them repeatedly in a loop might bring down performance faster than you might think.

And I expanded the array to 999 entries. Happy now? ;)

That's strange, I could've sworn I responded to this thread... My apologies...

But yes, that's fantastic, thank you very much! :)
