"msg overflowed" error
« on: March 21, 2007, 10:39:45 AM »
Ok, I made a small map (extremely small) just to test out a hud that I am making. I couldn't remember what the names of any 4 team maps where, so I made one and ran it through a "final compile". As soon as the round starts I get this repeating in the console infinitely:

Code: [Select]
SZ_GetSpace: overflow
WARNING: msg overflowed for Zorchenhimer

This is with build 17, pretest 3. Condump, .bsp, and .map attached.

Any ideas?

This usually means there are too many entities visible and it can't fit all the data in a packet (thus the "overflow").

?! The map has 6 brushes, and 5 entities. How is that possible? Oh, this also happened on shazam44.

Edit:
Just for kicks I tried this map in build 16, and it works fine.

Bots?

Nope. I was messing around with the scrips for the hud though. But, it still works in build 16. Do you want to look at the scripts?

I loaded the map just fine in build 17.  Are you sure you don't have a bunch of bots loaded?  Perhaps an excessive grenade setting?  There are 4 teams worth of grenades in one little box.

Haha! Oops. :P
That did it. Thanks.
