Author Topic: The datablock limit )=<  (Read 6136 times)

I Need help understanding the Datablock limit I only got like 40 addons and it gives me this stupid sign after I load Datablocks limit has succeeded And It Deletes Half of my addons and most of them are cool.

Then again i'm wondering if it has to do with memory or just Blockland is just like that. Please reply.

1: Don't sign your posts.
2: Blockland, not BlockLand.
3: Yes, there's a limit. The reason there is one is so it wont crash you, or your clients on a public server.

4. Don't center your text. Standard from the right side alignment is good.

The datablock limit is there for a reason. As previously stated too many addons enabled can crash clients.

Also: Please, if you ARE going to color you words, do not make them YELLOW. I can not read it so I do not know what half of those addons are.

Blockland is that way, there's a limit to keep you from crashing and make other users crash/download buncha files. also, don't color your text either.

This has nothing to do with memory.  Here, let me sum it up.

Each addon has a size, or "datablock". An addon can have more that one datablock but the game counts the number of datablocks and, if the number is succeeded then it will disable a few. It has nothing to do with WHAT type of addons you have, it is how BIG the files are in general. I also fail to see why you would need so many addons that it exceeds the datablock limit in the first place.

The limit is not that large but i still know what you are talking about I watch the console load all the time and it list all the addons and says how much datablocks.

Can you look in your addons "enabler" GUI at "start a game" and tell me what addons are enabled? All of them that are enabled.

Send me a list of your enabled addons.

If you're going over the datablock limit, you shouldn't be running a server. You should only run a server with what is ESSENTIAL to whatever you are hosting.

Each addon takes up more than one datablock. Usually.
Music, prints, and emitters take up one each.
Addons' datablocks would be their sounds, textures, models, and such.
But, for example, if an addon uses the same sound as another, that sound still takes up only one datablock.
At least, that's what I figured out on my own.
