HeyJack: But it is happening with some people on the server
Lord Trilobite: Ive heard of this error before
Lord Trilobite: Im not entirely sure what causes it
Lord Trilobite: when looking online, it seems some say it's a map based error
Lord Trilobite: some say it's an engine error
Lord Trilobite: To be sure, try verifying your game cache first and see if that fixes it
Lord Trilobite: so the thing is.
Lord Trilobite: it's a very, very large map
Lord Trilobite: and people keep wanting me to add more, and more stuff
Lord Trilobite: which means eventually something breaks the limits
Lord Trilobite: of the engine
Lord Trilobite: and I cant keep optimising it indefinitely
Lord Trilobite: but for the next update I will see what I can do
Lord Trilobite: In the mean time. fixing your Gmod game cache
Lord Trilobite: and redownloading the map might work
Lord Trilobite: http://www.teamfortress.tv/26211/map-entity-error-message
Lord Trilobite: this one here says that it's a corrupt download problem. which means the problem lies with the workshop
Lord Trilobite: And I know the workshop has bugged before.
Lord Trilobite: Did you try those solutions I suggested?
HeyJack: yeah
Lord Trilobite: did it work?
HeyJack: no
Lord Trilobite: Im sorry to hear that.
Lord Trilobite: you tried both the redownload and verify game cache?
HeyJack: yeah redownloaded it multipule times and verifyed and nope still not working and its not just for me its for most of the server and the devs have redownloaded the map serverside and nope
Lord Trilobite: that sucks
Lord Trilobite: Im sorry but I really cant do anything specific about it
Lord Trilobite: besides possibly trying to optimise the map
HeyJack: yeah it must be something to do with the workshop
Lord Trilobite: it might
Lord Trilobite: it might be worth checking if there arent any weird addons on the server that breaks things
Lord Trilobite: because other servers do not have this problem as far as I know
Lord Trilobite: or possibly too many props have been spawned or something like that
Lord Trilobite: this map is not made for a hundred players like some servers want to use it for
HeyJack: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1172812303 here is the collection if you wanna have a look
Lord Trilobite: do other maps on the server have similar problems?
HeyJack: nah just your maps
Lord Trilobite: other maps I made too?
Lord Trilobite: I see jakku is in that collection for example
Lord Trilobite: and mos mesric
HeyJack: both of the star destroyer ones
Lord Trilobite: but not the others?
HeyJack: no
HeyJack: there fine
Lord Trilobite: what about the jakku map?
Lord Trilobite: since that also includes a star destroyer wreck
HeyJack: jakku i get like 2 ping on i dont know how XD
Lord Trilobite: but does it have that crash?
Lord Trilobite: I ask because it has a lot of stuff I copied over from my standard destroyer map
HeyJack: yeah the teleporter is fine
HeyJack: but its just the standalone ones
Lord Trilobite: so the standard star destroyer and infinite version you mean
HeyJack: yeah
Lord Trilobite: okay
Lord Trilobite: that helps
Lord Trilobite: so here's what im thinking
Lord Trilobite: its probably a combination
Lord Trilobite: of something local or serverside
Lord Trilobite: and the fact that the star destroyer map is very complex and near many engine limits
Lord Trilobite: I will do my best to try and optimise it for the next version.
Lord Trilobite: But.
Lord Trilobite: the problem is that everyone keeps bothering me about adding even more features
Lord Trilobite: which means the map will be MORE complex and not less
HeyJack: what stuff do they want?
Lord Trilobite: which, could mean more crashes, but this is all very hypothetical. Because the map is still functional. it doesnt crash on my end
Lord Trilobite: all sorts of stuff
Lord Trilobite: I have posted some stuff on my thread on the workshop
Lord Trilobite: where everyone can follow what will be in the next version
Lord Trilobite: and make suggestions as well
HeyJack: do you have a eta on the new version
Lord Trilobite: so yeah, right now there's not a whole lot I can do, but I will try my best to optimise the new version
Lord Trilobite: I do not do ETAs, but having said that. I do want to release the new version before the end of the year.
Lord Trilobite: emphasis on want, that doesnt mean it will be
HeyJack: ok that will be good in stopping that entity error
Lord Trilobite: hopefully yes. But I really dont know
HeyJack: well lets keep our fingers crossed
Lord Trilobite: if you have any suggestions or more bugs for the map you can post them on the workshop thread
Lord Trilobite: so then I wish you and your community luck with fixing the problem. and I will do my best with the new version as well
Lord Trilobite: with that I wish you a good day
HeyJack: see yah
Lord Trilobite: bye
