not sure why im getting this error... i didnt add anything to this map that wasnt already in it in the last compile, but when i try to open the map in JA, it wont let me. i googled it and it just brought up a bunch of pages on coding, and one page about an ATI bug.. but ive got an nvidia card... if anyone's fixed this, please tell how.

thanks.

Too many entities in one place?

Do you have like tons of enemies, mines, blaster shots, flying stuff, and so on in one area?

Maybe your card can't handle so much?

Did you update drivers?

ill update my vieo card... only thing thats high in desnsity is lights, half of them are connected to info_nulls, but that should be a lighting problem... i dunno, ill try the updates.

info_nulls are not included in the compile; if I'm not mistaken, they add a key/value to the light entity to tell which direction it points in. You theoretically could put in as many info_nulls as you wanted and the entity count could remain the same after compile, because the info_nulls are removed during the BSP.

Well don't just sit there, REPLY!!!

yeah... but the bsp isnt whats messing up. a lot of things pass the bsp and mess up ingame, and i guess this is oneof them :\

updating my drivers didnt work either. any more ideas?

alright, i took out the 3 light fixture models (with a bunch of lights with info_nulls) out of the map and it worked.... so... blah... i guess ill use them more sparingly.

You can only use 512 misc_model_'s and func_ brushes in an SP map, the MP limit is even less at 256.

I don't know how to fix the problem but

G_Spawn is a function that controls the spawning of entities (mostly players) and the "no free entities" is generally a sign that it has lost the array of entities (don't ask how ) or doesn't have any free slots left to spawn something in.

I'm not quite sure why you're getting this though.

well if thats what makes the g_spawn error... then i got it for the wrong reason because i just cut the number of my lights with info_nulls in half.

No, gothicX, misc_models are removed from the map during compile by Q3Map2, and even with SoF2Map, they would be removed by the engine before the entities get spawned. And SP has an entity limit of 2048.

I was just saying info_nulls won't affect the entity count after compile...models could be like that too.

I said misc_model_'s, referring to _statics and _breakables.

Ah.
