Hey everyone.

I keep hitting those sweet limits everytime i fix another one. i can trim the fat of fx, sound, material, image, brush, vertex limits and the likes but this limit i'm hitting at the moment drives me nuts.

Motherfucking g_spawn limit is what i'm talking about of course

I play Der Berg from til round 20 from time to time but yesterday, when i threw a grenade among the zombies on round 13, the game crashed and gave me this error.

johndoe told me how and why this happens but i guess he doesn't know much either

Question 1: Can you guys give me more detail about this limit?
Question 2: I don't want zombies to spawn limbs upon gibbing. Can we make this happen without disabling gibbing? If that's possible i think the issue will be solved.

By the way, when the corpse setting is large or insane, i get free entities flooding the console log so it kinda implies the coming of the error. This doesn't happen on medium or below.

Thanks in advance.

U could modify ur character.

This is a stock one.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

main()
{
	codescripts\character::setModelFromArray(xmodelalias\char_ger_honorgd_bodyzalias::main());
	self.headModel = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_ger_honorgd_zombieheadalias::main());
	self attach(self.headModel, "", true);
	self.voice = "german";
	self.torsoDmg1 = "char_ger_honorgd_body1_g_upclean";
	self.torsoDmg2 = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_ger_hnrgrd_body1_g_rarmoffalias::main());
	self.torsoDmg3 = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_ger_hnrgrd_body1_g_larmoffalias::main());
	self.torsoDmg4 = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_ger_hnrgrd_body1_g_torsoalias::main());
	self.torsoDmg5 = "char_ger_honorgd_body1_g_behead";
	self.legDmg1 = "char_ger_honorgd_body1_g_lowclean";
	self.legDmg2 = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_ger_hnrgrd_body1_g_rlegoffalias::main());
	self.legDmg3 = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_ger_hnrgrd_body1_g_llegoffalias::main());
	self.legDmg4 = codescripts\character::randomElement(xmodelalias\char_ger_hnrgrd_body1_g_legsoffalias::main());
	self.gibSpawn1 = "char_ger_honorgd_body1_g_rarmspawn";
	self.gibSpawnTag1 = "J_Elbow_RI";
	self.gibSpawn2 = "char_ger_honorgd_body1_g_larmspawn";
	self.gibSpawnTag2 = "J_Elbow_LE";
	self.gibSpawn3 = "char_ger_honorgd_body1_g_rlegspawn";
	self.gibSpawnTag3 = "J_Knee_RI";
	self.gibSpawn4 = "char_ger_honorgd_body1_g_llegspawn";
	self.gibSpawnTag4 = "J_Knee_LE";
}

Remove this and it should stop spawning gibs.

I also have scripts to replace triggers, if you have many triggers. http://ugx-mods.com/forum/index.php/topic,11221.0.html That cuts down on entity use.

You could also add a watch, checking the ents, and setting zombies to not gib, by setting .gibbed to true, if over that ent limit... maybe...

I was told that this error is due to too many interactive entities atm. That's why throwing a grenade into a group of 24 zombies causes it.

Hi. @RDV

johndoe showed me a solution similar to yours but when i do that the zombies don't lose any limbs or anything.

but i want zombies to lose them only without spawning limb models and i achieved it by deleting those lines.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

// in char_ger_honorguard_zombies.csv and char_ger_honorguard2_zombies.csv
xmodel,char_ger_honorgd_body1_g_rarmspawn
xmodel,char_ger_honorgd_body1_g_larmspawn
xmodel,char_ger_honorgd_body1_g_rlegspawn
xmodel,char_ger_honorgd_body1_g_llegspawn

i can play until round 13 if i set the corpse count to insane or large and i can play until round 20 with the solution above. but this time i hit g_spawn because of the corpses on the ground (ragdoll).

this is how i fixed it.

i don't get any errors when corpse count is on medium so i made the mod force it to medium and disabled it on the menu.

it's kinda cruel but i had no choice

@MakeCents

I'll look into your script but it doesn't seem it'll reduce much even if i trim the triggers.
