Small question - quick answer Created 19 years ago2004-10-28 16:29:10 UTC by Archie

I just made an fy map for CS and i need to know what the maximum number of weapon spawns i can place is.. i read in a forum that the game will crash if there are too many but it didnt specify how many.. thanks

As far as I am concerned there is no limit. Ive seen fy maps with about 30 weapons give or take a few so go nuts.

that didnt help much... hmm.. my map wont run... it compiles fine but wont run. i have less than 8 WADs... the filename is short... no spaces.. no error msgs while compiling.. its odd

Have you tried the map without any guns in it?

I mean... how do you know it's a problem caused by those guns?

yeah could you give us a more acurate discription of the problem

i think i spy a plan... pk. hang on... ill report back my findings (however the map did compile the last time i tested it with buyzones)

yeah.. works fine without weapons

Right. Now slowly add weapons and see when the game crashes.

Compiling with -onlyents could be usefull here...

Give u the exact count of weapon entities we are talking about here.

*us

ok... sigh.. long night for the hunter.. g'night folks.. and thanks

i had 32 weapons.. one for each spawn point

That should be fine :

armoury_entity, right?

Oh dear, what have you done now, post teh map in teh Vault...

you can't have the armoury_entity inside the player btw...

i no i no... evrything seems fine... i figured it.. it wont run with 31 armouries.. 30 max?

I've seen maps with four rows of 6.

on each side, and an awp at either end, that's 50.

So, no, there's something you're doing wrong.

I take it you're following this tutorial?:

If not, do so, and if you are, then you must be doing somethign wrong, armoury_entities are the most docile in teh game, you set teh weapon, you set the amount (count) and then you compile. There's not alot that can go wrong.

I'm not sure if teh entites are allowed to see too many of each other, so .. is there any division between the spawn points of CT and T and are the weapons all visible from one point?

Otehr than that, I'm not sure what's wrong, try uploading to the vault, maybe 7th could have a look, as I'm at work until 5, if no-one can, I'll fix it up for you then.

ok.. thanks
