Author Topic: Limit on addons?  (Read 1267 times)

Whenever i try to make a server, i have a bunch of bricks i want to have in there, and a bunch of other addons, but there all enabled, and when i start it, and join, only bricks that showup are JVS



There is a limit on add-ons and brick add-ons are the last add-ons to get loaded so if you have too many weapons/vehicles then there won't be enough space to load the bricks. I'd try disabling some other add-ons then try again.

eeehhh, Chrono, i would suggest you read before you post, and thanks ephialtes, ill disable alot of the weapons and hats

dont know if DP is allowed, but i removed a bunch of them, almost 300 from the dedicated servers folder that i didnt want, and nothing has changed, weapons are there and such, is there a way to disable the limit? or raise it? because big brothers server has alot of addons, alot more then this, when i hosted one in V11 it had no limits, does v12? if so, is it possible to get v12 back? for a dedicated server?

The limit has been there since the start, and I think it may have been doubled since then. It's called the datablock limit. It limits the number of types of things that can appear, including playertypes, projectiles, items that you can pick up, sounds, items as they are held in your hand, vehicles, particles, and particle emitters. One weapon can have more than a dozen datablocks.

The datablock limit can't be changed by the hands of the user, only Badspot can. He isn't going to though. The limit is fairly high. If you reach it, you definitely have way too many add-ons enabled.

We would have a definite answer if he supplied his
Console log.

you dont need the log, we know for a fact theres a limit, im not looking for a error, its something that is coded in to the game

The limit is 2000 datablocks.


I thought it was 2048, but after I saw the following error message in a console log, I think it might be 4096.

Code: [Select]
Error: SimDataBlock::onAdd() - Exceeded maximum number of data blocks (4095)

It is pointless yapping on about datablocks to someone from a non-technical background. Keep it simple and understandable.

From the log, we can see how many datablocks you have.
The log doesn't just show errors.

I have a similiar thing on mine except it is leaving out a bunch of weapons, almost all bricks, and all my AI's. (I have deleted some add-ons and it has got me some of my weapons back)
