too many items / things

[Skyman]

Really unbelievable that something basic like mining gold can crash a game. Not by any means trying to critisize anyone or anything, just saying it's unbelievable

I hope this can be fixed though!

Is there any information about a possible fix?

thx

It's fixed on SVN, just isn't released yet.

My user level isn't very special, below you will find the basic sript that I'm using:

Still there's a problem with the thing / items limit. I AM using Adikted and Keeper FX (I downloaded 038a). I've also downloaded the patch 038c (I've skipped 038b).

I kind of have the same problem , if I'm playing a level that lasts for awhile I always seem to hit an object limit that makes the level very hard to play , some problems include:

If i make a room there are not objects in them , e/g no book shelves in the library
not in game effects such as smoke
cannot make any imps even if i have none
creatures cant cast spells in battle and melee attacks miss 99% of the time , so battles can last for a very long and training is impossible.
If i lay a trap/ place a door after i hit the limit the game crashes to windows

[DragonsLover]

Are you sure you're using the latest version of KeeperFX? Otherwise, you can still return to version 0.37c, which is still very stable and has a high things limit.

i swapped to the earlier version and the problems gone , thanks

[VincentKeeper]

I'm still having the same problem I was having so many months ago. Every game / map crashes after a while, when there are too many items/ things. At least, that's what I think it is. Does someone have any idea what I can do?

Here's the LOG-file from the last crash of the dbg-version of the game:

[VincentKeeper]

Again, I have to emphasize: this game was the first level of one of the campaigns automatically included in KeeperFX, so I guess there's nothing wrong with the design of the level.

[mefistotelis]

You ran out of thing slots:

Warning: erstat_check: Out of thing slots, 51 occurrences

And how to fight that?
- try using latest version (0.40), with latest nightly build patch.
- try different tactics in the game - don't build huge rooms, attack faster, etc.

DragonsLover suggested before that v0.37c was more "stable" in that matter - you could try that. (ofcourse, I would prefer people to play new versions, so that they could report problems which I can fix).

Will this problem be fixed?
Yes, some day, but it's quite complicated issue.
