Author Topic: Data Block Limit  (Read 6655 times)

I hit the limit just a day ago and I was really annoyed to find I had to delete some of my good addons just to make space.

(Off Topic: My Data Blocks now equal 3847)

Q: What is the Data Block Limit?

A:The Data Block Limit is something that stops a server running to may addons. So after the limit has been reached all the addons after that are disabled. The Data Block Limit is 4098.

Although there should be no limit, there also shouldn't be a need for that many add-ons. I'm pretty sure Badspot is just protecting your computer from exploding.

The datalock limit was not made to limit the number of add-ons. It was made because of technical limitations.

Note that. After that point, the game can become unstable. Also, having so many add-ons causes extremely long load times and lag on lower end computers.

Really, there's many, MANY reasons for this limit. Many of them are requirements.

Why would you need more then 4098 Data Blocks?

Because I love the addons that people make.

You need to learn to only enable what you really NEED for your server, not every single add-on.

Agreed. The datablock limit is a good one.

Like I explained in the other topic complaining about the limit, you should really only be using about a thousand for a standard themed server.

How do you find out how many you have.

Start a server, check console, info.

no you didn't, you were probably just too stupid to figure out that you could just disable a few
